Brilio.net - Every child must obey the words of their parents. Especially the mother who gave birth to you into this world. However, this only applies if the mother's words, advice or request are based on the goodness of a child.

So, what happens if the mother's request is felt to be detrimental to the child. Can the child refuse it? This was actually done by a child whose confession went viral on social media, sparking discussion and debate among netizens.

Through the account X @convomfs, anonymously, this child shared his story on social media. He shared a tweet accompanied by a screenshot of his conversation with his mother.

"It's not wrong for me to do this, right?," wrote the child, quoted by brilio.net , Tuesday (23/4).

In the captured WhatsApp message, the mother is known to have asked the child to stay at home even though he is working and living independently. The reason is that the mother asked the child to help her with housework such as washing, cooking and ironing clothes.

"Sis, you don't have to go to boarding houses. Just stay at home and help mom clean the house, wash the iron, cook, mom is tired of doing these things herself," said the mother to her child.

However, the child responded by refusing his mother's request. He refused on the grounds that he chose to live in a boarding house because the distance between his house and his office and his sister's workplace was too far.

"You can't do that, ma'am. The distance from my office is 35 km from my house, ma'am. Also, absent in the morning, it closes at 7.10," said the child, denying his mother's request.

When the mother replied that the child had to give understanding, the child replied back that he himself had never been given understanding by his own mother.

"As a child, you have to understand mommy," said the mother.

"Mom always wants to understand, but mom never understands mom's children," said the child.

Furthermore, the child also gave an evaluation back to his mother because she had never been grateful all this time.

"Besides, mom has been given a loyal husband, he never gets angry, he's patient, he wants to help mom before dad goes to work, even when dad comes back from work he still helps mom. But what? Mom would rather remarry with a patriarchal man, " said the child to his mother.

This conversation went viral and invited netizens to respond, resulting in a debate in the comments column of the upload.

"The man you choose should be the one to help you with your work. Don't be selfish, ma'am," wrote the account owner @ayy2499.

"The mother already has a new husband, so there is a stepfather at home while the children are growing up. So it's true that the children live far from the boarding house to ensure that nothing happens. The mother's salary is only her and her husband's clothes," wrote the account owner @ bujang_lapuk10.

"But maybe the child's words should be more subtle. Not straight to the point," said the account @@frizal1414.

"The child should be able to control his emotions. Everything can be discussed carefully," said the account @19Bapakkost.

"Mother's words must be obeyed. But especially not this one. It's really epic hahaha," said the account @gua_bangkun.
