On-air personality Toolz took to social media recently to express some diffusers that she has been facing with regards to parenthood, and it read;
“Do you think it’s easier to raise kids now or in our parent’s time? Not just a finances conversation, extended family/community structure, japa etc.
I feel overwhelmed sometimes because there’s too much information out there. Conflicting information too”
The crux of Toolz’s tweet was whether raising a child was easier in the past than the modern day where there’s a lot of information through technology.
Toolz’s tweet opened a huge discourse online, and here are some comments from netizens.
