A Twitter user, MmaSesebo, has revealed that her father hasn’t worked for the last 16 years and that he is a house husband.
Quoting the original tweet, MmaSesebo said, “My father is a househusband. He doesn’t want to work or start up a business to make money. It’s been going on for 16 years. He even gets an allowance from my mother monthly.”
She added that, while her mother isn’t okay with the situation, she is being blackmailed by his threat that he would kill himself.
“Every time my mother asks him to help out or do something, he threatens to kill himself. My mother doesn’t love him that way. She is not ok. She wants help from him financially and emotionally but he isn’t bothered.”
MmaSesebo revealed that her mother had been the one taking care of her and her two siblings.
Quite a lot of reactions have trailed her tweet. Some Twitter users shared their own story, while some praised her father, for pulling off the “dream” of some men.

It’s definitely an issue.I don’t think there’s anyone who wouldn’t have an issue with being emotionally blackmailed ka threatening to take your life. It’s definitely taking its toll on her. And Tudu is grown now she can’t turn a blind eye.maybe if she was a teenager or something

The mum is obviously enabling him and is probably scared of him killing himself. The children are old enough to speak to their dad, they should do it. Instead of giving him monthly allowances, they should use the money and start something small for him, he needs to be responsible

????? I dont see anything wrong in a man wanting to be a full time stay at home dad tho. As long as he cleans and cooks and runs market errands, if he doesn’t then there is a problem
