Every parent has their struggles, especially in the toddler phase. One mom is using her TikTok account to showcase what that’s like when it’s multiplied by three.
That’s right, Gabi has triplets, and she doesn’t need you to tell her she has her hands full. She knows it, as she shares in one video, where she responds to the declaration that every mom of multiples or even just several small kids has heard in public.
“OMG, I never noticed! Thank you for this brand-new information!” Gabi responds.
The Struggles and Joys Of Parenting
Some of her other videos delve into the struggles and joys of living as a mom of triplets, hauling her kids between two countries, and how she juggles feeding three toddlers throughout the day, with one using a g-tube for part of her nutritional intake.

The Viral Video (Name Sharing)
What went viral, though, was Gabi’s decision to teach her kids to say their names and ages. It was no problem convincing them to announce that they were two years old — all three toddlers agreed with their mother on that fact.
The names, though, threw them a little. They all respond to their names—Victor, Valentino, and Viviana — Gabi explains. When asked to identify themselves, though, all three insist on giving the same answer!
@thattripletmom_ LOL I didn’t name you all VICTOR ???????????? #tripletsoftiktok #triplets #momlife #momhumor #momtok #fyp #sahm #mom #lol ♬ original sound – Gabi ????
“Come te llamas?” Gabi asks each kid his or her name, in Spanish.
“Victor!” each toddler replies separately.
Gabi posted the video as a question. Have any other moms of triplets experienced this, and how do you convince each kid that they have their own name, not a single shared title?
Speaking to People Magazine after her video went viral though, Gabi made it clear that she knows what she’s doing and understands how it happened.
She says that in their daily routine, she does things in birth order, and Victor is the oldest.
She explains:
“But when I’m teaching them their names, I would say, ‘You’re Victor and you’re 2’ and they all listened. So I’d move on and say, ‘You’re Valentino and you’re 2,’ and then, ‘You’re Viviana and you’re 2.’ I think since I was just teaching Victor first, they were all just like, ‘Okay, we’re all Victor. They jumped on board and now they’re all Victor and they’re all 2.”
Gabi’s babies will no doubt soon learn to identify themselves by separate names, and their individuality will only grow with them—but for now, they all insist they are Victor, and thanks to Gabi’s videos, that moment in time is immortalized.
