A Breadwinner at 22: What A Big Sister Will Do For Her 6 Siblings | CNA Insider

What is the life of a 22-year-old? For Aqilah, it's taking on a job on the night-shift as her family's breadwinner, and playing "dad" to her six younger siblings. She doesn't see it as a sacrifice, though, to secure their future - with some outside help.

May Allah accept her good deeds! She seems like a kind hearted girl

[@karlchandran4631]

Affection, gentleness, warmth, concern, and care are words that are associated with kindness. While kindness has a connotation of meaning someone is naive or weak, that is not the case. Being kind often requires courage and strength. She's the embodiment of all these! I wish her nothing but the best!

I think it's pretty terrible. As a mom, I would NEVER rely on my children as a source of income. She could start planning a family of her own, have fun and enjoy her life, but she has to raise the family of another woman. I know it's easy to judge... But honestly it makes me sad. She didn't ask for this. Even if her mom was "helping", she shouldn't be helping in the first place because it's her job, as a primary care-giver, to look after her children's needs. This really angers me.

[@PinkHypatia]

On one level, this is noble and admirable, but on another level it’s unfortunate for Aquila. Being forced into the role of their family’s husband and father, provider and protector is a sacrifice that might cause her not to want children of her own if this continues for years. The story makes it appear that their mother does nothing to help, though I doubt that’s the case. I wonder why her father didn’t teach his wife how to manage the bills. There is too much left out of the story to make sense of it.

[@Peepeepoopoopeepo00]

The problem is the father, keep making babies like there's no tomorrow then leaving his kids and wive. I've heard a lot of similar stories from my friends. The Malay community (not all but most) need to change their thinking as a whole. This kind of problem will affect a person's life and their future. Why do a child need to work to support their siblings when their parents are still there? That is ridiculous. If you dont want to have a lot of kids just use protection.

[@marcial.1636]

That's why you dont comment unless you know the story of the family.

[@shaguftabilal1534]

Excuse me but he didnt leave them...

[@ingenuity168]

This daughter is enabling the mother. Whatever it is, the father is not shouldering all the responsibilities of a parent. He's making the daughter take over the parental responsibilities. Not fair, not right.

[@wemuk5170]

shagufta bilal Why did her mother lied then? Her mother absolutely & definitely said that he left the family & went abroad. Most people are more confused 🤔rather than judging the family. They are trying to understand ‘how come’ the father is, in effect, giving his family such a hard time? The daughter has to support the whole family! The mother might have an invisible illness (like lupus/anything that cannot be seen from mere appearance & in need of support herself) so, where is her husband? If he works overseas & sends money home, then, his daughter would not need to be the breadwinner. You follow? This story doesn’t make sense unless the father has something to hide. Why go overseas to work/train without sending any money 💰 home (even work trainees are paid), leaving 7 kids(7!) plus an elderly mother, for the young lady to support & care? She is no doubt amazing. 👏👏👏 Finally, [no one is assuming anything since the father’s departure was what the mother said] IF the father is supporting the family from an overseas job, then, CNA Insider would be exaggerating or misleading viewers by portraying her as the family’s breadwinner: she would just be someone who is mature minded who happened to be forced to help contribute financially to her family’s upkeep - due to her parents’ (or father’s) choice to have so many children.🧐

And there are a number of low-risk investment such as government bonds and perhaps even property to start with and start building a portfolio from there on. Start small if you don't have plenty as long as you start doing something about it. Never underestimate the power of compounding. Even a small interest on a fixed term deposit is a good way to start with. Furthermore, a small interest of 3-4% interest is enough to offset inflation.

God Bless Her kind soul and wishing her and her family the best.

My humble respect to her. At 22 already pickup such a heavy burden. Wishing you all the best in your life

God bless her, I wish the best for her and her family

I believe this was another case of neglect by the Father. It’s a common sight, working as a social worker, women are often left to suffer when the Father or Husband decided to go overseas with no money left behind. Aqilah is a strong woman with resilience. I’m certain that she will do great in the future once her siblings has grown up. Keep fighting the battle and stay strong! You got this gurlll!

Hey mum, it’s your responsibility to look after your children as a parent. Why is your daughter shouldering your responsibilities? Try watching TV instead of.....

My grandmother had 3 kids as she question her life. When her husband pass away she knows can take care of her kids. Without step father.

She is amazing

I hope her siblings will become successful when they grow up and ensure they repay her in some ways for all the sacrifices she made. Kudos to this young lady for stadning and taking burden of taking care of the family. At an age when most of her contempories would have been going out with friends and enjoying themselves, she stood up to take responsibilites really warmed my heart. Well done and I hope your sacrifice will pay dividened.
