Aunty: Dads, what do you do when a boy gives your daughter money?
As an aunt, this woman says she is proud, but highly doubts her niece's dad will be...
Being a girl dad comes with a host of unwarranted stresses... stresses such as tween boys.
Yes, as a young child, our baby girls are daddy's girls, but as they grow, they discover the opposite sex in a whole new way.
This can be stressful for any father, but it doesn't have to be if handled well. We can say with great conviction that women are different from men, not just genetically, but also in how we approach situations.
An aunt stirred the pot when she asked TikTok dads what they would do if a boy in their daughter's class gave her R50. Stress-o-meter activated...
According to the aunt, Leshunne, her nine-year-old niece was given R10 to spend on school supplies, but she came home with R50. A boy in her niece's class likes her, so he gave her R50.

Having an admirer is one thing, just like having your first crush, but teaching our girls good values when it comes to how to handle themselves as young women is vital.
Traditionally, a guy giving a girl money doesn't have many positive insinuations. But also, how much spending money is that nine-year-old boy getting for him to gift her with R50?
People's responses were mixed, as usual, but they were entertaining to read.
- "This child got a R50, but some of us can't even get R10 for airtime 😂😂😂😂 this life has no balance."
- " I experienced this: My daughter got 100 from a boy in her class. She is 8."
- "3 -D Dad, most of us had that puppy love ❤️. There's nothing to be concerned about yet, but there's a missing conversation there with all the kids. Gifting and accepting "money" is not allowed."
- "Jissus he is broken if I catch him... no wonder my daughter keeps quiet"
- "She's changing school."
