Children refuse to accept ‘uncle’ as stepfather

Shared by @hrhabimbola on the platform, the mother’s video showed her children sharing their honest opinions about an ideal man.

In the video, the siblings emphasised their utmost desire for a stylish and modern stepfather.

They sought someone who understands contemporary trends, rather than an outdated “uncle” figure.

They jokingly warned potential suitors, “If you don’t know what hair closure means, stay away from mum!”

In their words:

“We don’t want an uncle. We want a step father but not just an uncle. If you are an uncle, don’t come close to my mum. If you don’t like dreads, stay away from her. If you don’t know what hair closure means stay away.”

Their mother who was surprised by her children’s demand shared the video and expressed her amazement.

“Asking my two older kids what kind of step father they’d prefer. The way I laughed so hard at this. When I tell you these kids are serious comedians,” she said.
