Taking Care Of The Children Is A Responsibility For Only The Mother - Mr Frank

A viral post shows a mother dropping off her children with their father, frustrated by his minimal financial support—₦50,000 monthly for three kids—and lack of visits for nine months. Many applauded her decision, suggesting it would teach the father to appreciate her efforts and encourage accountability in men who neglect their responsibilities.

However, one controversial comment shifted the blame entirely onto the mother, stating: “The worst mistake a man will make in his life is to marry an illiterate and jobless woman.” This remark unfairly assumes the woman’s education and financial status without evidence, exposing the bias against mothers in parenting conflicts. Such statements divert attention from the real issue—shared responsibility—and perpetuate harmful stereotypes that hinder meaningful conversations about co-parenting.
