@Lisa Tea said:

“NOT a parenting fail. Breathe, and talk with your child about why they need to wake you first.”

@Lisa said:

“Your child doing something wrong isn't a parenting fail (if it's not a recurrent thing). What matters is how the issue is handled.”

In related news, Briefly News reported that a video of two children being reprimanded by the furious mom left South African netizens laughing out loud.

The video shared by Twitter user @jah_vinny_23 shows two children crying loudly as their mother questions who spilt medicine on the floor between them.

They respond by crying and pointing at each other as their mom continues to shout at them. The mother tells them to clean up the mess. The girl child is heard telling her mother that she is pretty and is a princess, presumably in an effort to avoid a hiding or gain her mother’s forgiveness.
