The man may have been saddened by his baby mama’s response, but judging by the comments, it would appear that many Saffas feel that he should have spoken to her before rushing to the shops. After all, mommies know best.

Check out some of the comments from cyber citizens below:

“I completely get her. It's inconsiderate to buy for a child when you're not the one faced with day-to-day responsibilities. Eg. My baby doesn't eat Purity and she's 10 months. She strictly eats boiled fruits & veggies blended by me. Imagine now someone buying Purity in bulk.”

@TshokiB replied:

“The question, did the child need that now? It could have been better if you called and checked what the child needs and then go and purchase that. My kids don't eat Purity but blended veggies and fruits. They don't use JJ products because of their skin. Ask first.”

@MatthewPelea wrote:

“This seems good, but we men should learn that real child support is money. If you don't trust her with the money, you shouldn't have chosen to have a baby with her. If you can prove that she's a bad mother, then you should apply to be the primary custodian through the courts.”

@ivythale_ said:

“This is really beautiful and thoughtful but the mother being the primary caregiver, she knows what and when the baby needs something, sometimes babies react to stuff they’ve been using, eg. fragranced soap, now she has to change it."

@MpenduloJiyane commented:

“Lezinto ngeke zilaste neviki jus give her money grootman... umtana waziwa ngumama.”
