A university student mother had to make the ultimate sacrifice of leaving her toddler behind to return to school. However, the little boy was not having any of it.
A video shared to TikTok by @simmy.dlamini1 – which has since garnered over 270,000 views – showed the young student mother packed and ready to go, suitcase in tow. Waving goodbye to her son, the toddler then airs his frustration through cries over the farewells, showing that he wants to be consoled by nobody else but his mama.
