A new mum has taken to X to call out her mother for allegedly failing to fulfil her role as a grandmother.
The woman said that since she gave birth, her mother has seen the baby only once — during the child’s naming ceremony — and has made no effort to be actively involved in the baby’s life since then.
According to her, her mother lives in Benin and does not work, ruling out busyness as a reason for the lack of contact. She added that her mother rarely calls or checks in on them.
She wrote:
“I don’t think my mom knows she’s now a grandma. Last time she saw my baby was during naming, and she lives in Benin.
“She doesn’t work in case you want to think she’s busy. She doesn’t call us.
“I was surprised she called me today saying she saw my baby on my status and that the baby has gotten big.
“Only God knows when next she will call. Zero atom of care.”
When some X users attempted to make excuses for her mother, the new mum pushed back, stating that her mother does not behave the same way with the children of her siblings.
