On a recent episode of The View, a viral TikTok video stirred up a lively discussion, particularly resonating with co-host Sunny Hostin.

Whoopi Goldberg opened the conversation by imploring the audience to focus on what she deemed a “very important” issue. The video in question highlights the expectations placed on men when it comes to childcare, especially when their partners are not around.

Goldberg summarized the TikTok’s message, stating, “A mother is making waves online with a video that has reached 3 million views. She asserts, and I quote, ‘Your husband should be capable of looking after your children without you needing to leave a detailed, three-page guide or compromising your peace of mind.’”

She then invited her fellow panelists, who are all married, to weigh in on the topic. Sunny Hostin, clearly moved by the issue, responded with vigor, exclaiming, “I felt this in my soul.”

Hostin enthusiastically replied, “I felt this in my soul.”

She recalled an instance when her son Gabriel was around 4 or 5 years old, when both she and her husband Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin were working “crazy” hours.

“But a couple days he wasn’t working as long, and I’d come home and he’d say, ‘By the way, I cooked for Gabriel today.’ Like he should get a freaking award for that?” she teased. “He’s an orthopedic surgeon. I said, ‘I’m sorry, was this an immaculate conception? Is that baby Jesus in the room? Am I a single mother? Do you get an award for cooking for your child?’”

Behar asked what Manny’s occupation had to do with Hostin’s argument, to which she emphatically replied, “Because if you can fix body parts, you can fix a freaking meal! Come on!”

Haines weighed in with her own story, telling viewers that she came home this weekend after Griffin’s baby shower and had “been gone for a few hours.”

“I come home this weekend and I walk in and our neighbor, who I love, was coming over for a drink,” she shared. “So I see my husband and my neighbor drinking, and I know the kids are somewhere. And I see blue sand across our kitchen, I see things we use in the kitchen being used as toys on the floor. And the trash, there’s all this trash over the trash can because they were full, and the trash cans were still in the corner.”

Haines said she “clearly went right into cleaning mode” upon her arrival at home, which apparently took her husband, Max aback.

“Max was like, ‘That’s a little rude, that energy you came in with.’ He goes, ‘I’ve been here all day.’ I looked at him and I was like, ‘I can’t have a drink and relax while it looks like a beach in the kitchen,’” she added.

However, Max claimed that their son Caleb was supposed to vacuum it up.

“And I said, ‘He’s 6. Can you just take care of this?’” Haines quipped. “He didn’t get it. I realize men think differently because he felt keeping them alive is a lot, and that’s a great goal.”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
