A woman in her early thirties had no regrets about not starting a family, as she had planned to give her mother a place to call home.
Taking to her TikTok account, the woman, who uses the handle @diphafeng on the app, shared a video montage of the house-building process. Bricks lying on the ground slowly started to look like a house.
@diphafeng wrote in the video how she managed to get the ball rolling to support her mother, amusing social media users:
"POV: 31 years with no child because I wanted to build my mom a house."
Watch the video below:
Hundreds flooded @diphafeng's comment section either to share congratulatory messages and similar stories or to express their laughter at the woman's caption about choosing not to have children.
@sebendebele1 felt motivated and wrote:
"I'm turning 29 this year with no child. I'm so inspired. Congratulations."
@morakamorrissekibagmail2 said to the woman:
"May God bless you with twins after you complete the house."
Some people found humour in @irenechepape460's comment, who said:
"Congratulations. dear. I had my child at 26 because my parents had everything, including a house."
@lindilediga commented on the above, saying:
"Irene is not saying she must not flex. We flex with what we have. Flex ke flex."
@chantelmoloko6 shared their opinion and said to @diphafeng:
"At 31, my sister, that’s no longer a flex. It’s a problem."
Briefly News reported a related story about a young man who beamed with pride when he told social media users that he spent half the year building his one-bedroom house.
The man's journey to success inspired the online community as they flooded the comments section with compliments.
