The clip has prompted strong reactions. One user, named unitedhindus, criticized the mother for her decision, stating, “Shameful!!! Mom should have hit him with slippers instead of giving him money and let him starve. These selfish individuals would not hesitate to exploit their parents for their own gain.” Another commenter, Ragini, expressed frustration, remarking, “Sorry aunty… Tomorrow, that jobless kid will ask for a sports bike, and you’ll sell your land to get it. Then he’ll do stunts with the bike and injure himself. What will you sell to treat him? Four days without food won’t kill him.”
The video highlights a growing concern about the impact of excessive indulgence on children and the boundaries of parental love. Many are questioning where parents should draw the line in accommodating their children’s demands and whether such behavior is detrimental in the long run.
The discussion continues as users debate the role of discipline and the consequences of giving in to every request, reflecting a broader societal conversation about parenting practices and their impact on young people.
