Couple slammed over 'appalling' date night behavior that left viewers speechless
An influencer has been slammed for going on a date with her husband at a fancy restaurant while leaving her mom and dog to sit in the car.
Beauty content creator Wei Ren discussed the controversial decision in a video recently uploaded to TikTok.
She explained that she, her husband, her mom, and their dog had plans to go to Dunsmoor - a steakhouse in Los Angeles - thinking it would be a 'cute little family outing.'
'My husband ended the night by apologizing to my mom for taking her to a top rated steakhouse and making her eat in the car,' the creator began the video.
The clip then cutback to show Wei's husband sitting in the driver's seat, patting her mom on the shoulder and apologizing.
She explained that the couple had taken their dog Bao with them after deciding to dine at the number one rated steakhouse in the US - only to be thwarted by the rules of the establishment.
'Plot twist, no outdoor seating, meaning no dog,' she explained in the voiceover.
'Another twist, walk-ins only seat two,' she continued.
Wei then revealed her mom volunteered to wait in the car with their dog so their 'long drive wouldn't be for nothing.'
'Not exactly the bonding moment we pictured,' she admitted in the clip, showing them eating and drinking inside the fancy restaurant.
Wei then said she spent the dinner 'doing laps' and cutting the food into 'bite-sized pieces' before taking the food and 'running it' to the car where her mom and dog were waiting.
'[I was] running it back like a personal server,' she said. 'So in the end my mom got her steak. Bao got a couple of bites too.'
She assured users that it turned into a 'super funny night' that they will always remember.
'The plan fell apart but we laughed out way through, that is family,' she gushed at the end of the video.
But viewers were horrified by the couple's actions in apparent disbelief that they were comfortable leaving Wei's mom in the car.
'You and your husband are terrible. Your husband can't even do the right thing and offer to stay in the car with the dog. But instead y'all "cheers" your food while she's in the car with y'all dog lol. Internalized hate towards yourself is crazy but allowing that to happen to your own mother is crazier. It gets to a point… insanity.' one follower declared.

'He sat there willingly and then didn't help you bring food to her?' another incredulous viewer wrote.
Someone else clarified: 'I have to confirm again. You left your elderly mother in the car to dog sit while you were in a restaurant eating?'
'And only leftovers for mom? Couldn't even buy a whole extra meal to take out for her?' raged someone else.
'The way this was edited and uploaded to be cute but quite opposite. Don't do this to your mom. And if I ever had a partner who was willing to comfortably sit at a restaurant while my mother-in-law sat in the car, he'd be eating alone,' wrote another.
'You're in LA, not exactly the middle of nowhere. Could've easily found a different place to eat,' chimed in another user.
