A birthday is regarded as one of the most special days for all of us where one expects gifts but it's a different story when your mom doesn’t seem to recognize or care about the day's significance.

This has divided the South African Twitter community after an image on the social media application depicting a mother and her daughter on a shopping spree.

However, it seems to be a different shopping spree where one can expect that of new clothing outfits but this one is of groceries.

The poor little girl is robed in a stylish outfit and a ribbon across her top body may suggest it’s her birthday but the fact that she is carrying a sack of maize meal has caught the attention of Mzansi users.

Some believe the mother is a bit harsh as some have related to the way the mother is treating her kid, but some also believe the mother is responsible, to buy food and feed the little soul.

Briefly News takes a look at the humorous comments as the picture by @AdvoBarryRoux has ruffled some feathers.
