Initially requesting her mother-in-law’s assistance in finding a young girl to support her with household tasks and childcare responsibilities, the woman had hoped to ease her daily workload. However, what transpired was far from her expectations. Videos posted online revealed the young girl sleeping on the same bed as the woman’s baby, suggesting a level of dependency rather than assistance. Expressing her dissatisfaction with the situation, the lady lamented that she had inadvertently become the one providing help to the girl instead of receiving it, as was initially intended. @Gift Scotland said; “Would you let your own lil daughter or son to go become a house help for someone else when she’s a little girl herself that needs to be in school?” @Efemena Joy Egbe said; “Allow her to feel at home she will grow to love your family and take cake of your children.” @harbezzybabe said; “I started staying wit my Aunty wen I was 3 nw am 19yrs nd u can’t knw the difference btw me nd her children…Jst take care of her nd u will enjoy her.” @Ujunwa Ikueze said; “I started staying with my Aunty when I was 7 now am 22 na me be madam for huz take care of her u will enjoy her growing up.” @Adimorahlydia said; “I wan be this small girl living without worries and my Anty will be cooking and cleaning for me and her baby.” See below; @asa_marshal ♬ original sound – Asa_Marshal
