• A hilarious man had social media in stitches with his wise, yet ridiculous advice, telling women with multiple kids to hide their eldest child until after marriage

Marriage is a big step, and for single parents, introducing kids from a previous relationship can be tricky, but one social media user took this dilemma to another level, offering an absurdly funny solution that had social media users rolling on the floor with laughter.

The man, TokTok user @siphesihlemusic, looked into the camera and shared his golden advice for single mothers with multiple kids.

The guy shares the secret to getting married with kids

In the clip, @siphesihlemusic jokes that if a woman has three children, she must tell the new man in her life she only has two, conveniently hiding the firstborn. He adds that, no matter how much the child looks like her, she should never confess to being the mother until after he has married her.

To back up his outrageous advice, he even provides ready-made excuses. He suggests that the woman should say the child belongs to her late sister, who tragically passed away in a car accident while travelling to some village in the Eastern Cape. Alternatively, she could claim the child was her sister's, who got married and left, and because she's a caring person, she took them in.

We at Briefly News had the pleasure of speaking with Penny Holburn about starting a marriage with kept secrets. We asked the expert if hiding kids until marriage reflects deep societal views. She responded:

"I would hope it isn't. Hiding anything from a partner is a bad way of beginning a marriage."

We asked her if it was fair for the other partner not to know about the other kids. Penny responded:

"No, it's very unfair, it is very unfair.  If someone has kids, they need to tell their partner before getting married.  Also, if someone is marrying a person, they need to ask questions as to whether there are kids.

And the partner with the kids needs to give an honest answer.  Children have a huge impact on a relationship in so many ways that being upfront and honest is necessary."

We asked her whether humour could be used to address sensitive topics like parenting without crossing into insensitivity or stereotypes, like in the case of the content creator. She said:
