A woman roasted parents on thinking that kids are investment

As the video continued, @madam_speaker said she was worried about the people born in the 80s and 90s as she thought they would be more considerate of the subject. She said the following:
"You know, I am so worried, so I thought the 80s and 90s were the parents who were gonna make a difference because they got the memo and they understand. But as a parent, it is your responsibility to take care of your child, and that is not an investment whereby you feel like they must repay you for taking care of them in the future. That is your responsibility."
The outspoken lady went on to say that parents in the early 60s understood that it was their responsibility to take care of their children and not vice versa. She added that when she does something for her parents, they appreciate it because they understand their responsibility to care for their kids.
At the end of her clip, she said children do not owe their parents anything and that she is disappointed in the mentality of parents born in the 80s and 90s who think their kids owe them for taking care of them.

SA mom roasts son's style in funny TikTok video
Briefly News previously reported on a mother-son's hilarious moment. Having mad love for one another. The mom expressed her honest opinion on her son's fashion sense, which had Mzansi crying tears of laughter.
Mothers can be your biggest supporters but also your biggest roasters too. This mom and son clearly have a strong bond built on honesty, lol. TikTok user @eiitanbroude shared a video of himself trying on items of clothing to complete his outfit of the day. The best part of the video, though, is the voice-over his mother did, commenting on his fashion.
