“I Kept It Secret For 25 Years”: Woman Reveals She’s Literally Responsible For Sister’s Birth

“I Kept It Secret For 25 Years”: Woman Reveals She’s Literally Responsible For Sister’s Birth

ADVERTISEMENT

Life with a sibling might be tough with the seemingly endless fights and pranks, but nobody would trade them for the world. When children want a new sibling, they might talk to their parents about having a bigger family. Other kids might take a more… direct and sneaky approach.

Digital creator and mom of four Keely, @mama__kee, went viral after confessing on TikTok how she may have been responsible for her little sister being born, a quarter of a century ago. Keely and her friend had poked holes in her parents’ condoms and kept all of it a secret. You’ll find the full story and the internet’s reaction to it below.

Nobody should ever sabotage someone else’s protection. However, some kids might do this not knowing any better

Digital creator Keely made a huge splash on the net when she revealed a secret she’d been keeping for a quarter of a century

In a TikTok video, she revealed how she and her friend had poked holes in her parents’ condoms one time

If you’re a little kid, please don’t even watch the rest of this video. This is so embarrassing.

Mom, I’m so sorry. I’m not sorry because Sam’s here, but when I was a little girl, me and my friend, my best friend, went in my mom and dad’s bedroom.

And I don’t know how she knew, there were some shiny packets on the nightstand, and she said what they were and told me what they were used for.

And then there was a needle laying, like a sewing needle, beside the packet. And me and my friend poked lots of holes in the packets.

And when like six months later, my mom told me she was pregnant, I was so happy. But years later, my mom still says, “I don’t know how she happened. We were so careful.”

The video was viewed over 10.6 million times. You can watch it in full right over here

@mama__kee @Sam Myrick I’m sort of responsible for your existence. #sister #fyp #sorrynotsorry ♬ original sound – Keely💖🤗

The digital creator’s clip made a huge splash on the internet. At the time of writing, her video was watched a whopping 10.6 million times and got 1.5 million likes. What’s more, the story went so viral that it was picked up by many media outlets.

Keely pointed out in the video that she was sorry for what she did, however, she wasn’t going to apologize for her sister being born. She was, in fact, very happy about that happy outcome.

Of course, nobody will ever know whether it was the tiny holes in the condoms that led to Keely’s younger sister, Sam, being born, or if was all one big coincidence. They were both lucky to be born to parents who loved them and were happy to have more children (even if they were being careful).

However, broadly speaking, nobody should be sabotaging anyone else’s condoms: people have the right to decide whether they want to have (more) children and when to do so. Kids might not know better, but adults certainly do.

According to Planned Parenthood, condoms are 98% effective if they’re used perfectly. However, in practice, they’re around 87% effective because nobody will put them on perfectly every single time they have sex. Tampering with condoms drastically reduces their effectiveness.

One major issue is folks who want to have children so badly that they intentionally sabotage their partners’ protection without their knowledge or consent. Healthline explains that “condom and other barrier sabotage is a form of sexual assault.”

One common way in which condoms are tampered with is poking a hole in the condom while it’s still in the wrapper. This is very difficult to spot. Healthline notes that this hole is large enough for someone to get pregnant or to contract a sexually transmitted infection.

Another well-known way of sabotage includes someone cutting the condom with a pair of scissors, most often when it’s already out of the package. This method, however, is far easier to spot. For one, the hole is bigger than the one left by a needle. Not only that, cutting a condom with scissors isn’t exactly subtle.

It’s not just sabotage that can reduce a condom’s effectiveness, however. Leaving them out in the sun and storing them in warm places (e.g. wallets, pants pockets, and car glove compartments) can also reduce it. Not only that, condoms are less effective after their expiration date and when used in conjunction with lubricants, oils, and creams.

The TikToker took part in the discussion with her audience

Exactly, maybe mom had physical reasons why another child wasn't a good idea. Or they wouldn't manage financially. To give OP some slack, if she was a child, ofcourse you don't think of those things. Your logic is simple. But to now, as an adult, gloat over it? Bad taste.

Why would you leave condoms out in the open when you have a kid? Why did a sewing needle just happen to be lying there next to them? I get some kids know about condoms and what they're for but how did they know to poke holes through the wrapper to stop them working? Why would parents tell their child "I don't know how it happened, we were so careful?". Sounds like BS to me, maybe I'm just hoping it's BS because that is one horrifying story.

Sounds like BS to me as well. The mother must have explained in a lot of detail, exactly how making a baby works for her to understand how a condom would stop them having a baby. I doubt the standard "when 2 people love each other..." explanation would have led a young child to come up with the idea that a needle would stop a condom working.

If they poked " a lot" of holes in them you would notice. You would feel them as soon as you picked it up. Now way this is true. Just another person wanting attention.

'Chocoholic Mom Gives Birth to Chocolate Covered Baby' Seriously, BP? Is this where you are at now....? How about sticking with the heartwarming, the funny, the artistic, the 'mildly interesting'... Leave tabloid fodder for other sites.

First heard about someone doing this on the Sitcom "Drop the Dead Donkey". I wonder though if that would work ... lots of holes she said? When stretching the condom over, wouldn't it just tear?

Yeah, I call BS. Sewing needles aren't that thin (they can be, but most home hits they aren't). Multiple holes would've been noticeable.

This is not funny at all. I hope someone does this to her and she notices beforehand and realizes how bad that would've been. It's not cute or funny, and that's your mom. Shame on you.

Condoms are wet. To puncture it it would leak and the user would notice.

Riiiiight .... You just happened upon your parents condoms (left out on their nightstand) and there was a random needle - ON THE NIGHTSTAND. And you knew what they were for and poked holes in them? Yeah, I'm totally sure that really happened. You are so full of BULLSH*T.

ESH....I'm not sure how to feel about this. Back when I was born, I was the sibling my older sister didn't want. I'm sure that I was planned, but my sister and I have a very distant relationship. Had I been told that she did this to my parents and they weren't ready for a 2nd child, I would be P**SED at my sister.

A woman I worked with did the same thing. She claimed she didn't know what she was doing at the time. And for those criticing Keely, she was a child. She didn't know about any possible negative consequences. Cut her some slack.
