According to the man identified on TikTok as Uncle Roddy even if one has children, there comes a time when they leave home.
He said he wanted to buy milk and he had to go to the store himself to get it as he cannot afford to pay a maid.
His words:
“It is as if I’m alone in this world. Since morning, I have been alone at home. There is no body with me. So, that’s the life we live here. You know, for all the men and women watching me, prepare for a time like this. It has nothing to do with having children or not. You may have children, but these children will eventually grow to start living on their own. Do you understand me. So, you cannot expect your children to always be there for you. So, you will agree with me that there comes a time when nobody might be there for you. You have got to be there for yourself. Especially when nobody is there for you, learn to be there for yourself. Learn to depend yourself.”
