A viral illustration depicting the different ways children, fathers, and mothers supposedly handle sick days has ignited a major debate on social media. The cartoon shows a child resting in bed, a father lounging on the couch, and a visibly ill mother still managing chores, carrying a child, and cleaning. The message it conveys is that mothers continue working even when they are sick.
However, Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck wasn’t impressed by the portrayal. He took to social media to voice his disagreement, describing the narrative as a deeply ingrained misconception.
He wrote:
“THIS IS ONE OF THE FALLACIES THAT HAS EATEN DEEP INTO OUR BRAINS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. HOW CAN SUCH A LIE BE HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM.”
His comments sparked further discussions on the often unrealistic expectations placed on mothers and the need to challenge these outdated stereotypes.
