Woman reports pregnancy to baby daddy’s family to be legitimised

Briefly News reached out to a young mom who’s also a co parent, Yola Schalk, to understand why it is important for both parents to be parents when raising a child. The girl mom explained:

“My struggles with not raising a child with the other parent in one house is the uneven distribution of physical and emotional wellbeing of the child. The primary caregiver does the most and the other parent sees the child everyday but you actually live with them. It's having to inform the other parent every time, even of the simple things cause you dont know if they might take it the wrong way.

While her clip welcomed Mzansi into her Zulu culture, some netizens were bothered by the sound she used to merge all of the footage.
