A local mom has South Africans caught in a heated discussion after driving her son to visit his sick girlfriend. While it's unclear exactly how old the young man is, some social media users do not agree with the mama's parenting style.

The super-involved mom also shared a snap of the presents she'd helped her son purchase for his sick bae. They got her juice, flowers and some chips from Woolies.

However sweet the gesture, it seems many South African men were concerned about what the mom was teaching her son. Many gents felt she was grooming the boy into a man that would be walked all over by the opposite sex.

Still, others praised the mom for teaching her boy to be chivalrous.
