A Kenyan woman got roasted by her mom after wiring home 5,000 shillings, and the whole thing blew up online when someone posted the audio. The mother basically told her daughter to reverse the transfer because it was useless, and she even said to stop calling home entirely. The daughter had already been covering medicine costs whenever family members got sick, but apparently, that still was not enough.
People online went off about how messed up it is when parents treat their kids like retirement funds. Some folks pointed out that this is basically what happens across Kenya when government safety nets do not exist, and firstborns especially get stuck bankrolling everyone. A bunch of commenters said the mom might need mental health support, while others just told the daughter to take the hint and ghost her family.
The consensus was pretty clear that sending anyone money right after this economy is a real sacrifice, and parents need to chill with the entitlement.
