@MalikaKenya how can I send a gift 🎁 to Mary? I was truly blessed from watching her work with such a loving and kind spirit.
You don't need money to make reed's mat, it's being lazy of African people yet they have everything natural
@@marshaalanavlogs2844 hello kindly reach me out on marymalika92@gmail.com or dm me on Instagram @Merry_Malika
Please, how do you reach out to this child?

I am a Kenyan and I feel a certain "ouch" for the little girl. Too much for being only 12.
I understand
She doesn’t seem to be in any distress or discomfort doing these things for herself and her family so it doesn’t appear to be that awful. ❤️ Some families just do things differently.
@@katiefountain2407 exactly. She is perfectly fine and happy. 🙂
Shows u that age is just a number ❣️
Yes I know it's common, I just hope she had time to enjoy being a kid
This little girl should be outside playing with friends,and enjoying her childhood.
Playing doing what? Smoking Vape and weed.
I grew up in the village. I am a hardworking woman today. Did no drugs and i respect my parents for giving me such upbringing.
Exactly what she said, playing running , having fun , playing games.
Its a difference between chores and running a household, this is alot for this young girl. I bet at night she dreams of a better life.
🥺🥺
Maybe she loves her life ♥️
She probably doesn't see it that way.
How ? What wise does she know ?
Help her find the helper because the mother is not there she is looking for food for them soo ?
This is not only in Kenya. I think this is or was the trend all over Africa.
I am Namibian and was raised this way too. At 12, I was already cooking and sharing the household chores with my sister.
Yes, to some it's abuse but to us Africans, who grew up this way, it teaches you to be responsible from a very young age.
It’s not abuse. It’s necessary. All cultures have done the same thing as they were developing. The western school system has summer holidays for 1 reason. Kids did not go to school during harvest season as they were needed to bring in the harvest for the family. Hence the modern, Summer holidays. Things will change but it takes time. No reason imo to denigrate something that may at this time be a necessity.
You will have responsibility as an adult whether you want it or not.
There's no win in taking someone's childhood away.
@@StarOnTheWater
responsible kids = responsible adults.
The majority of the kids from western cultures who were "allowed to be kids" never grew up. They act immature and irresponsible to this day, even though some of them are proper seniors. Parents started "letting kids be kids" by expecting less of them back in the 90's and those kids have all grown up to be full grown infants (some might go so far as to call them::degenerates). Western culture is proof that coddling kids is BAD for their development.
imo
Chores as a child are a good thing. However, there is a limit to how much adult responsibility should be put on a child. Mary is such a beautiful, responsible girl. I wish her well.
🙏🙏
This is what I did growing up as from the age of eight and now living with my family in uk God will see her through this she’s a responsible girl ❤
Amen 🙏🙏
In the beginning I was thinking she is so little with such a big responsibility then I started thinking one day we will see her in the abroad with husband and her own family, she is in training for adult life.
Ah very responsible may God visit her❤❤
@@soniadaniel6295 but sonia danniel🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣you said it
Amen!
She is so skilled and eloquent. I love the way she handles her chores with grace. It would be lovely to see the village organise some games and play to give these children a break from housework and a chance for them to unwind and have fun. They are not adults yet.
Why her brother don't do any work ..her brother nd mom waiting for karma soon😢..poor little girl
@@creativequeen96143 I’m more than sure the brother does the farming. Mary didn’t do any farming or take care of the animals, so obviously the brother does it. The mom was working on someone else’s farm, so she could earn money. You are a terrible person saying the mom and brother have karma coming, when they are providing for their family.
Most likely they have their chance to play or unwind.
No VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN AFRICA.
People who are forced to be poor turn out higher quality personalities and characters. Faced with minimum resources and comforts, they learn to appreciate the things that make their lives better. We are very spoiled in America. Those who have the least bit of motivation still have running water, beds with pillows, and food. With decent parenting, these children learn perseverance and frugality as steps to pull ahead, because we have the means. I like having the kitchen separate from the general area. It is better that way. Thank you for this video.
Mary’s mom must be so proud of her. She is an amazing child so strong. I pray for all these children for God to bless them and walk along side them, protect them and give them love joy and peace. They deserve so much, they are absolutely lovely.
Thank you dear and Amen🙏🙏
Amen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ameen!
Amen!
Amen 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿.
Mary is a gem to her family. Praying the Lords continuous blessings on her life and her family.
Amen 🙏🙏
I Hope her family is also a blessing to her.
Every child here in the West who complains about doing chores around the house needs to be shown this.
no thats child abuse take care of ur own house she wll have her own house
@@fiolele506 It is important to understand the cultural context of everything. Do I agree with this amount of work for a young child to do? No. Do I understand the economic situation that drives such? Yes.
It is hard to watch this but we must be mindful to consider the way of life of others isn't going to match our own standards of living and educate ourselves of others' hardships but also endeavour to make a change in our world by teaching our children to be appreciative of what they have in 'privileged' societies and where possible, be a helper to those who have more challenges than ourselves.
Yesssssssss
And they shouldn’t be paid to do chores it’s part of being family.
I show my kids this kind of stuff all the time😂
I think it's perfectly acceptable for children of her age to take on household responsibilities that way they can take care of themselves when they become adults. Please remember as a parent it's your job to prepare your child for the next stage of life which is adulthood, also to have them become compassionate, empathetic, responsible adults.
I'm praying that Mary will prosper in her life and one day be able to travel around the world enjoying her youthfulness with those she love without extreme labor. This is not currently extreme labor but NOBODY in their right mind wants to labor ALL their lives if they don't have to... Many blessings to Mary ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
As someone who can empathize with Mary, I second that prayer. Do you notice she doesn't smile much? Having to bear the weight and responsibility of a parent when she is still a child? I pray one day the weight will lift from her shoulders... and why does Mary sleep in the kitchen when the main house is there?
Amen
She is wise way beyond her age and smart and intelligent I'm quite sure that she does find time to study but some times in world countries like Jamaica children miss out on a lot because they have to help provide for the family like making jewelry and thir parents make clothes and potery to sale at out door fley market to make money and they use the skills that they learned to survive I'm quite sure that mary is not going to spend the rest of her life being a servant she going to grow up and make something out of her self like to to college she seem like she has big dreams the way she tacking care of the home stead and how she is taking care of her siblings I would not estimate that little diva she's letting everyone know that just because she is a child that doesn't mean that she doesn't rule her home I hope what ever she won't to do and be in life I hope that she is successful at what ever she chooses to do in life ❤
Perhaps she is not smiling because she is camera shy. It’s important for these types of videos to acquaint ourselves with other cultures. Mary is very well rounded and the household chores are not that difficult. She is being well prepared for adulthood. Too many children are to spoiled,entitled and soft. Teaching a person to fish is proverbial. If she were in any other environment/ home she was be classified as “mommies little helper!” Perhaps a look from the inside window is better than an outside view. Outside perspective is always difficult. Life is different in many area.
Mary as an adult living in the USA, I am truly encouraged by all your hard work you do by supporting your family with cleaning and cooking. Whenever I feel like is getting to hard and I become STRESSED with my adult life, I am going to go and look at this video with you Mary working at 12 years old and this will give me the strength and will to never give up. So thank you princess Mary for showing this adult woman and mother how to always keeping going forward. Mary you are truly a blessing to your family. I pray 🙏🏿🙏🏿 almighty God continue to bless you richly and your entire family always.
Amen... This is so sweet🙏
Do you watch Jim Nduruchi
M
💯🙏🏾💪🏽🥰
Amen! 🙏🏻
Her mom taught her very well. Her mother should be proud
Thank you
I'm so proud of this young lady.
This was our lives in a Ugandan village family.
We all use to work and help our mother when she was working on the farm.
When my older sister's were at school we as youngersc did what had to be done.
This video has brought back so much lovely memories.
The fish Mary is cooking is anchovies, it's so yummy.
I am the youngest and I use to eat the crispy part in the pan.👏👏
I live in uk with two children son 15 and a daughter 13, they have responsibilities but nothing too much because of domestic electricals.
We all learned how to cook by helping our mother around age 6 to 8.
My children started from age 11 and they complain and we never ever complained.
This is a wonderful part of our African culture and heritage of responsibility.
I am so glad you clarified that this is NOT child labor
Thank you do much for watching and sharing your experience glad it brought some old memories 🥰🙏
@@MalikaKenya nothing is better than good old memories.
Your content is wholesome.
Thank you.
And we eat the same food I miss posho and silverfish 😢
One day as an adult she sees this Video& can be very proud of herself. 💕
We gotta protect the younger ones
Very true🥰
Proud why?
She is going to be mad and realize how exploited she was!!! Proud! Please!!.
@@victoriasavaski975 Thank goodness someone said it! This is disgusting really.
@Chaotic Spider compared to the American 12 year Olds who only know youtube she is winning
What a hardworking girl! She is a good daughter and sister. What a beautiful family, I hope they are healthy and happy ❤
Thank you, they are
Which healthy they are
They sleep with the chickens. I got a strong feeling that the life expectancy is lower, than the Africans living in large cities.
I am from Jamaica and I wish my teenager's girl in high school will do some of these work at my home.
Now that l think about it, it's actually child labor, those are too many chores for a 12year old
This made me get up and do the housework I was procrastinating. Very hardworking and amazing children, they should be very proud of themselves ❤️
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this video. I understand that some people think that this isn’t right for children to do however some cultures are different and that is okay. We don’t have to agree with everything but it is kind to be respectful to their culture that they hold near and dear to their hearts. I pray Mary’s future is filled with happiness, success, and wonderful health. Blessings to you Malika for sharing this informative video. Lots of love from America 🇺🇸 ❤
Why her brother don't do any work ..her brother nd mom waiting for karma soon😢..poor little girl
As a Jamaican, now living in America, this brings back memories. I remember having to cook on wood fire, washing dishes like her, and sweeping the yard the same. My back usually hurts. I'll be showing my 7 year old daughter this video...dying to see her reaction. 💜💜🙏🏾
Update: She was amazed! She said, "mommy, i could not survive there, not even for a day!" Asked why is her hand in the fire, and how is she holding the hot pot without potholders. 😳😄
🙏🙏🙏
In the beginning she was sleeping on a mat with her baby sister but later they show her house and said what a beautiful house
@@marr161 true...and they say its her house?
The best 👌 documentary you did ,that's how most of us grew.❤❤❤❤.(our African lifestyle 👏)
I know you wasn't sleeping on hard cement floors with the chickens at night
This what our Kenyan queens go through, they start being responsible at such a young age and that's why we say educate a girl child and you will have educated the whole village, i hope this young beautiful hard working child makes it big in life.
She will make it big🙏🙏
I was raised living somewhat like that. This is not education, this is just survival. By 7 I knew how to cook. I'm glad I learned to do all of that because my now husband loves my cooking skills. However, I do not agree with the exploitation of a child. I hate it when families have 7 kids and a young kid has to be responsible for them. Mom and dad had those kids not her. This only subjugate women at a young age to accept abuse as a normal way of living. At the age of 4 I was sexually assaulted for years until I was 12. I was the youngest of two sisters and both of us felt like we couldn't say anything because of the whole patriarchal way we're raised to think it was our fault.
This is why men abuse women.
Right! The girl should be in school! Nowhere else!
Lol barbaric and uncivilized your comment is even worse no queen does this to a child! Do you slice off her genitals too ?
I am an Indian..... I want to say she is a responsible kind daughter of her family raised by nice and humble parents. May God bless her with bright future may she get everything she desires and deserves.
Amen
The good thing about Mary is that she has no distractions. This is real life. No television or cell phone to pull her attention away from what really matters. This is a great benefit of living a simple life that some children who have too much can't relate to. Great video, lovely Noble Daughter Mary.
True🙏🙏
Very true
I was raised in a traditional Italian family and working around the house was absolutely expected of us. By the time I was 4 I was already in the kitchen with my grandma. She’s such a beautiful young lady and I pray that it favors God to allow all of her dreams to come true.
Amen, thanks for sharing
If you're from the U.S MOST of us have helped a grandmother or our aunts, or moms in the kitchen. I wouldn't compare that to this girl taking on all responsibilities HERSELF and obviously raising her siblings while she leads the way. Let's just be proud of her and pray for her without the need to mention what was expected of us because it's not even in the same category of what this child does on a day to day basis. My grandfather was Italian btw so I get it.. but it ain't the same.
@@lylablueabdul5503 I’m American, my parents really lived this way in Brazil. I gratefully did not so I consider myself blessed. But imagine they own a cow and a pig, so they are probably richer than other folks in her village so imagine that?? My dads family was too poor to own a cow or a pig, but my mothers family did.
Dignity of labour
Sould the boy not help like Elizabeth did
Ohh Mary you are a diamond in the rough. I pray that you find someone to care for you the way you care for your family. May good things find you Mary, you are touching many hearts 💕
Thank you so much!, Mary will be blessed beyond expectations 🙏🙏
Amen
This is how I was raised and I thank God for it. I am a very responsible woman today. I came to Europe at the age of 16yrs old and was able to attend college and work. I tried to teach my children to be do things independently but sometimes misunderstood here in the UK as child abuse. I took my children to Africa and they spent nearly three years there. Today, they have become very independent, responsible and work and educate themselves at the same time. They have manners and know how to talk to elderly. It was worth it
Thank you very much for watching and sharing your experience with us.. ❤️❤️❤️
Kenyan government needs to do more for their people
😢
This is what I grew up doing. Mary will be a great lady in future
Amen🙏🙏
To be true, I don’t like it, was she born to suffer for the name of “ being great lady” in future?? For who, we all, male and female should enjoy the fruits of the land as it is written in the Holy Scriptures. Mary is just a child, shouldn’t be put in this burden of the family and set to prematurely being given the Adult Responsibility only for the sake of being a great lady. Poor Cultural norms that need to be changed instead of being embraced. This is the life of the 1890’s great grandmothers not for 21st century, then later on to be married to drunkard man as a 4th wife at the age of 13; who was chosen by elders in the clan, divorced at the age of 19 with 6 children to care for, and recycling the life style she has been through 😩. That is not something to be proud of. Stop advertising this as normal please. Make the videos on how the life can be improved not the ones embracing the poverty, bad cultures of progressive abuse to the children. Another thing, advise your society to build one big house with rooms, as the separate houses cause 90% of children to be sexually abused by bad adults around and told that if they speak to anyone then the abuser will kill the rest of the family. Connect those walls of two houses to one for protection of our family, let children go to school, let adults get married ( not children) and decide to have the family they can afford. Thought of the day is, If you’re children don’t achieve more than their parents in lifetime, then the parents are FAILURES.
What is ugali made from?
Improve the economic situation of the family and Mary will be able to live the life of a 12 year old. Poverty causes parents to be out of the home, leaving the older children to assume adults roles. This happens in North America too. Why isn’t the boy going for water and sweeping the yard?
Amen
I live in the US with my family and children, but due to the way I grew up in Africa, i train my children to do house choices, my 12 years old can do everything you think 18 years should be doing. Even my 7 years old can also do somethings in the home you wouldn't believe she could do.
I'm very excited to see Mary doing this with so much passion.
We parents should learn to teach our younger ones how to do these things for a better tomorrow.
True it is better teaching them while they are young
Every child should have chores I think.
They be more like here very reasonable and respectful.
Is this apply for girls only? What do the boys do?
Watching from fiji Islands
Mary doing all these chores makes it look all good. And no doubt, just to help her family shes doing a great job. However, shes too little to go through this tedious job. She has a long life to go and many things to conquer coming ahead. More power to you mary. May the Almighty ease everybody's struggles and grant them success. Amin
Thank you 🥰🙏
The baby on Mary's back ay thr end looks tall enough to be on foot.
She is lifting hot vessel with bare hands at such a small age . It made me cry
I hv a 9year old son who's so keen to learn every household chores... I'm going to show him this video just to encourage him. He washes dishes.... iron his school uniform... prepare his lunch box for school.. my boy is a blessing. I pray God see our responsible kids through to success.
Aaaaaaawww please do
I feel proud for her and I am not even her parent. This makes me want to visit for vacation, and send my 14yr old son to your village to learn this level of responsibility.
Most welcome
Bring with u money to pay these people and foe your stay. Dont be thinking to go be a burden on these poor people.
As a child of a single mother of 4, here in america, in the "low income" communities, this is common. I remember being 9 watching my 3 siblings while my mother went to work and to school. This isnt "abuse," this is real life and survival. As an adult, im a mother, wife and business owner, because i learned responsibility at a young age, not later in life when i already made the mistakes... People need a dose of reality without all the social media and clout.
Why her brother don't do any work ..her brother nd mom waiting for karma soon😢..poor little girl
As a African child, it's important to know how to do house chores as a woman, we are trained early as woman to do chores, IAM from Namibia, for me I began to do house chores when I was 8 years., So it's normal for Mary to do all this, God bless her and I wish her all success in life. It's our nature as Africans
Just because it's normal for Mary doesn't make it right or best for her, I trust she also gets to go out and play with other kids or do whatever 12 yr olds do for fun/recreation.
This is not normal for children in the developed world, which is why they don't want immigrants. Men from the developed world are heartbroken seeing children in this condition and believe something is mentally wrong with men who let their women and children live like this.
Both men bd women
@@TheJCMloveso a 12yr old in The US On gadgets watching pork and gaming is more normal than this???Mary is lucky to grow up as a normal human being...she won't be 20 and depressed for no reason or 20 and can't cook an egg because mummy does it
Trained? Are you a dog?
I don't agree with this. She's being used. Children should learn some responsibility but parents should do most of the work. I still have to unlearn being used as an adult. I pray for her that she'll grow out of this.
Thank you for watching and your honest opinion,... Lots of love dear🙏🙏❤️
Kids in US would do this, then it be better country! Problem their lazy today! This young lady learning what hard work about! Not spoiled like us American kids.
I just don’t agree with how your are viewing this. This is what life is like for them. They probably have a lot to say about how we never make our kids grow up. How lazy and selfish they everyone in developed countries are. You sound like you need therapy and healing.
@@jamielynngearheart9969Agreed 100%! I’m an American woman and mother of 3 children. I raised my children to help out and do chores, work, cook, clean. They are all healthy and happy. Just because you have a different perspective about life doesn’t mean that others are automatically wrong or that you are automatically right.
@@MalikaKenya I absolutely admire these children, especially Mary and how she serves her family. I believe this is an EXCELLENT way to raise and teach children. It’s okay for kids her age to learn how to cook, clean and be responsible. She can also have fun after she is done with chores. We did both in my family and I am very happy with my life!
You could never get a child in America to do even half of that. Just reminds me of how we take things for granted. Tables n chairs shoes bathroom n sinks , running water in the house. I so admire her for taking on such responsibilities. God bless her and her family.
🙏🙏🙏
Mmmm, our environment is different. Our government would not allow such. Someone would call child protective service on the mother. They would take her children until better provision is made.
Not exactly true. The vicious mothers have us do this and then some. The only difference is it is not normalized. As a child with excessive adult responsibilities along with regular responsibilities it is traumatizing. The moms that require this in America are usually just lazy not hard working like over there
@@lw1524 yep same i clean up my mothers mess every day that she is fully capable of cleaning herself
Stop that lying, I did all the cooking and cleaning in my household. I learned how to pay the bills. I would help my parents and budget the bills and they would give me the money to get money orders for the bills. I took care of my sisters. I hate when people say something negative about American children when you only see or hear rumors and lies from certain people ,radio and TV. My African friends in the states would tell you my life was hard when I was a child. They would resent what you said.
I'm from America so...
I descend of African slave brought here...
I went to school ,work and have my own small business...my apartment has running water ,stove and refrigerator...
It makes me grateful and I see the hard life this young girl has...
I pray God keeps her and her family and tht...she is able to go abroad and see a better life
🙏🙏🙏
I feel the same way I’m so used to a bed furniture, silverware, running water, shoes stuff I didn’t see in this video and I feel blessed to be where I am in America cause I don’t know if that would be it for me. But I pray god continue to bless them she is a hard worker for her age
I start cookinhlg from 9 years old. At 12 my mom could leave my newborn btother if she has to leave. But In meantime I was studying. I gratuated in my country with all A. And made my dream become true. I came to America. I had my first bed with matras at age 22 in America. I remember how I was happy. It was used matras from other household. So I just showed my kids this video so they can understand that what I tell them is not lie. People really lives like that.
There were nine of us children. Jimmy was in the Navy so that meant eight most of the time. Our parents did very little housework. Papa was often at sea and Mama worked a civilian job on base, so it was up to us to do the cooking, cleaning, washing, and getting ourselves to school or to get our home lessons done and corrected. Everyone except the babies had lots of chores to do. Nobody got in trouble or turned to drink, drugs, or bad relationships because there was no time for that. We all turned out self-supporting, responsible adults. Our life circumstances were quite different from a village in Africa, usually on-base housing or a rented home close to base, but the principles were the same.
Wow thanks for sharing
And your better.
Now kids have more rights and less responsibility and we wonder y the society all over the world is heading in weird directions😊
I'm a brazilian, I must say that this food looks delicious. This little girl is a pro, and certainly can enjoy little things in life and be very independent, if necessary. She is a fantastic human being, not spoiled or abused. Just living the life that God gave her. Bless her family.
She is amazing ❤️
Yeah, they literally ended the video, because it was time for Mary to go play. But people are still yelling that she is abused. 🙄 If people don’t live in a certain culture, they shouldn’t comment on it. The only time we should judge other cultures is if they are actually doing something abusive, like marrying little girls.
Nooo Brazil has Pele as legendary Football Player, n ronaldo da lima n Neymar
A simple thumbs up is not credit enough for showcasing what 12 year old Mary must be responsible for every day. God bless her and her family.
This is beautiful more kids in America need to learn like she does! I teach my kids responsibilities and I think it’s wonderful that she is helping her parents like this. May God bless her and her family
🙏🙏
Zehahahahaha American everywhere😂😂😂
My 15 yr old granddaughter has promised to "step up her game" with household chores after watching lovely Mary!!!🥰
Aaaaaaawww thats nice👏👏👏
Kids should pick up after themselves but to put all the responsibilities on one little girl is abuse.
Awww ❤
This is horrible. If parents can't feed their kids or afford basic necessities; they need to learn to keep it in their pants. I'm tired of seeing "poor people" who have 6 kids ranging from from 12 years old to a 5 months old and pregnant with another. Like WTF you see you're struggling to survive so why keep bringing kids into the world when you can't even handle what you have. These people are never going to get out of these situations if they keep getting handouts.
sometimes blame it on the men as the ladies cant deny them as it will be arguments..and the men or women not knowledgeable about birth controll.
@capableofgreatness8804 We are now in 2024, birth control options have been provided world wide by now. Ignorance is bliss
You Nailed it. NO SEX!!
Sex Ed is what's needed, since many people never have that.. And giving women the strength to say no.
Mary's such a beautiful girl. I hope life smiles back at her when she grows up.
Amen
Such kids when given an opportunity become great scientists!!!! They learnt coordination of nature very early. Am one such product
Yes, you are right,.. All this is not by choice from the child or parent, praying for a better future 🙏🙏
i’m from the caribbean and this is how my grandmother raised me , carry water early in the morning before school, walk to and from school, walk down the mountain to the river on saturday to wash our clothes then back up the mountain when it’s dried .everything this young lady does i’ve done it 😊😊, my kids in the usa will never what it feels like cooking on wood by the fireside
Same here in the village
This you mother never used to give you all these responsibility Well God will judge her child labor that is what it is yes I will call it out pure wickedness and careless neighbors.
@@leoniehendrickson2530 again you’re entitled to your opinion … we were raised with love and disciplined … the things i see my american friends do or was never taught … it’s mind bugging … some can’t even wash their dirty undies …
@@leoniehendrickson2530 child labor is a foreign language to us who are unfortunately born in underdeveloped counties.. We do this for survival not because we are forced to.
@@maggzharry1541 I agree and completely understand, and yet as a southerner that was raised with my dads side of the family having their dogs live outside on chains occasionally free for bad weather or to run around while grilling and playing, we ourselves get the same
Condemnation for not living status quo to other people’s ideologies and would be considered animal abusers even though those animals received so much love, treats, spoiling, training, and freedom compared to others in our eyes. Just saying, it is what it is. It is indeed child labor but there nothing wrong with that if they’re treated with respect and thanked for their work and not truly abused for not being able to keep up. As long as the love and decent care is given that’s what matters🖤
I'm a 51 year old mother and grandma. I have 9 children and 6 grandchildren, one on the way .To me it's sad that young people learning and being able to do household tasks being thought of as child labor or something negative. It's better to know how to run a home early than go out on their own and not be able to take care of things. God bless Mary and all the children like her .
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Don’t mind the comments. Lack of resilience in children of today has made them cower and develop mental health issues at the slightest inconvenience. I feel so sorry for the kids of today
No one is mad she is skilled. We are curious why she’s working alone if you’re saying all kids benefit from this knowledge bc I just see her working alone
@@2okaycolaThen you need to look harder. The younger ones did the odd thing, and we don't know what else they were doing while off camera.
So much responsibility goes on the first born in every family
This is a responsible and confident girl, I also relate to her story as I started doing my chores at the age of eight. Wish all the born frees can also learn to do chores without being pushed to do so die to the fact that some of them reach the age of 25 not knowing how to cook or hang a curtain
This is true..
Hello Malika, I am so proud of Mary, as a young girl , I did the same growing up, may God protect her in Jesus^s name Amen
Amen 🙏🙏
This is eye opening but also sad Asf. Just the conditions and my fear of safety issues at time. Especially seeing her cut some of those veggies. But she rocks and is super responsible! I hope she becomes a housewife or whomever she endeavors to be in her own time ! And continues helping patch the gaps for her family here and there in their own times of need while she grows up. What wholesome and realistic content.
Thank you very much for watching and sharing your honest opinion ❤️
I am Trinidadian, I had to do chores as a kid living with my grandparents. Also once I over here to the U.S since 12, my aunty showed me how to do many things. It may seem hard as a kid but it really molds you to be a strong woman one day. Now 32 with kids I am an amazing chef and homemaker.
MALIKA I was glued to the content, I did not want it to end. Great video. Mary will respect and appreciate what she has in life no matter how small it is. Mary got an A+. The children of this generation all they know is to play video games
Yeah Mary is a very hardworking girl I tell you.. 😁😁
I am pretty sure even Mary gets to play sometimes.
Mary, you are such an inspiration to me! I'm a 30 yr old housewife and I am still learning much from you. Love and blessings 🤗♥️
Thank you so much!
Mary is so strong and smart, I am showing this to my ungrateful American 12 year old daughter TOMORROW! And they have all of the technology and "fancy" tools to make you lazy, I mean make it easier to clean, like brooms, vacuums, mops, faucets to wash hands, toothbrushes, and still have to be told to brush, lol. Thank you Mary, you are so brave and strong. Sending you much love from my country America, & my state Central Florida :) I was here on January 26. 2023 and finished watching at 2:03 a.m.
Aaaaaaawww thanks very much for watching and sharing ❤️
Facts
@@MalikaKenya You're welcome & thank you for sharing with us :)
This is how I was raised in Africa... I learnt how to be responsible, clean and well mannered... It's actually not work at all... It's a way of living.. I loved it 💕❤️
Yeah being responsible is taught at a very young age here
As a parent raising your kids like this you wont regrett,job well done👏👏
Responsible girl
Bloody nonsense
As a young African American woman at 22 years old she got me motivated to get up! She’s powerful and inspiring. I love her god protect her and her family❤️
Amen 🙏🙏❤️
Yessssss
Why are the children sleeping in the kitchen with the chickens when they have a decent home?
Who sleeps in the house?
That’s a very very hard life! I don’t think most people in North America can possibly relate! God Bless Mary and her Family❤️🙏🏼
It's a good thing they don't, why would you want your children to live a hard life? Be responsible yes, but parents should always want better for their children, not to be working day in day out, sleeping on the floor with dirty chickens, if that happened in the west, it'd be abuse, but this is "culture"
What a wonderful little girl! Wish her and her siblings much happiness 😇😇
🙏🙏🙏
Really beautiful. I feel like there's so much similarities between India and Africa. People might think it's child labor but this is what our parents taught us at young age to be independent. I know she's professional when she's lifting hot pot with bare hands. That's how experts do it. I have seen my mother doing it and the kitchen remind me of my childhood. My maternal grandmother's kichen was like that 20 years ago made out of mud. Now everything's getting concreted still back in days those mud houses were really at good keeping the scorching heat out. Even in 40 degree Celsius it stays cool and comfortable. I don't see those beautiful mud hoses anymore.
Aaaawwww thank you for sharing ❤️🙏
Be nice to see a man doing all this
Was your grandmother’s kitchen separate from the house as well or was it made with the house?
@@ChangedUpNowWhatin Indian and Pakistani villages usually kitchen and bathroom is separate from rooms means there's a veranda between rooms and kitchen because we almost have 45-50 degrees temperature in summer so without air conditioner rooms remains cool that way and bathroom is at another corner because of hygiene purpose because seat bathroom 🚽 is not available in villages
in subcontinent it's common thing and I personally think it's not child labour and good thing to get independent at early age instead of being dependent on others for your food also when child learns to cook and others chores early are much successful in life than burger kids but it's a misfortune that this time of child born in our third world countries and burgers kids are from first world so no one can see and consider there success
My daughter needs to watch this , she’s 18 and don’t even fríe en egg🤦♀️ God bless them kids
Well maybe she will be motivated after watching
Oh my God you better start now it's now or never. It all depends on which part of the world you are staying but we as Africans that's the way to go. When you grow up and get married you need to look after your own family from cleaning, laundry cooking. A virtuous woman written in the Bible proverbs 31
@@takudzwamlambi679 amen sis , I agreed with , but the culture here in America it’s different these kids don’t like doing chores they think life it’s easy. I’m from New York
Having home responsibilites from a young age is definitely a huge great asset to having a successful life (though in place of comfort it is not a required neccessity yet still viable.)
Mary and Elizabeth are an inspiration. My children are 10 and 12, and I once heard someone say, "you are not raising children. You are raising ADULTS..." I try to bring up my kids on this mantra, that I want them to become admirable adults. I really enjoyed your video, I wish I could meet these two and give them hugs🤗, how truly precious they are...
Thank you dear for sharing 🥰🥺❤️
My mom had a lot of kids and being the oldest girl she definitely depended on me a lot. My brother is not so much. I have to say looking back I am grateful that I learned so many life skills before adulthood. There was a clear difference in competence between me and my brothers
Sometimes situations forces us in being responsible early
My brother is a LAZY USELESS DUMB CODEPENDENT piece of crap. Wish he was a HUNDREDTH of what this princess has shown.
However this beautiful little girl is worth many at once.
She's already a queen.
Hope she goes far with her intelligence and strength 💚
It aggravates me so badly that girls are expected to do more than boys.
The kitchen, firewood, smoke, her picking up the hot pot with her bare hands 😫😫, even the plates… are bringing me back to my childhood visiting my grandmother in the provinces of Haiti.
We are all the same!!!!
Thank you fir watching and sharing your experience with us
Oh sweet little Marry…sending you lots of happiness, love and light! You’re a brave little girl. May you grow up into bright beautiful woman! God bless you and your family! You’re a blessing
🙏🙏🙏🙏
This video made me remember the first meal I cooked at age 8. My mom and everyone who tasted it couldn’t believe I was the one who did it. Since then, I began cooking for the family and and it has been like that till date❤️. I’m so proud of my mom for the good training cos there are many people out there who attend cooking classes just to learn what I knew since early childhood ❤️😭
Thanks for sharing
Why is it just Mary carrying everyone? I see plenty of able bodied men watching her work
We all have different cultures and ways to carry on in our daily lives. We do respect other people's lives and culture. We grew up very poor and my siblings had to take care of the running of the house while our mom was out working as house maid. So there is nothing wrong. My heart goes out to these families who lead such simple lives and yet they are smilling and happy. Above all they continue to rememeber to pray and be thankful and grateful.❤
Thank you for sharing dear🙏🙏
😊😊
A way to go to the mother for raising a beautiful daughter who Smiles through hardship and works hard to diligently provide the service that her mother can't provide while she's hardworking to provide for a family!!! Mary you keep rocking it!!!
You are so kind
We all have different opinions some of us think its child labour and some of us do not so lets all just respect each others cultures for a better world and also in some AFRICAN countries this is not child labour so lets stop adding mean comments and lets PRAY for MARY'S family to live long and have a happy life. Whether we support this or not adding mean comments will not make a single thing better it will make it worse. I PRAY THAT MARY AND HER FAMILY LIVE A HAPP LIFE IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AND BELIEVE AMEN. LOVE Y'ALL❤
May God bless this child and provide her needs in full. She needs a sound education. This is an amazing video
She will be blessed, and she also goes to school.
I am so impressed with Mary and her siblings. It can’t even compare to a lot of children her age here in the US. She’s mature beyond her years
🥰🥰🥰
That brother who was close to her age sure didn't appear to do do any of the work. Seems like he should've been helping her at the very least. The younger sister helped some and she was younger than him. This isn't an easy life for them - I have a lot of respect and admiration for the villagers, especially Mary.
hearing that this kids are christians brought me so much joy. our purpose is to serve and she and im sure the entire family is doing just that. God bless you on In Jesus' perfect name!
🙏🙏🙏
Am also a Kenyan , compared to what we did and what she is doing this is nothing the mum must be proud 👍 well done
Thank you dear, she is, 🥰
Such well behaved children. Credit to the parents
Thank you
And western people will say “child abuse”.😂 people who come from Africa always they are so responsible and respectful towards their parents. 😩 I miss home so bad. I can’t wait to have my kids so that I can teach them this life❤️marry well done Lil sunshine your family is so proud of you 👏
Thank you 🥰🥰🙏
I LOVE African values and morals.
Wish I had HALF the family structure they have... because African families actually are a family.
I'm American and hated my whole life...hate most my family and can't wait to die.
I'm 42 but feel 92.
That's the difference in growing up loved, valued...than not.
@@j.khuster2024 just want to say Jesus loves you and the only way to feel peace and joy in your life is to forgive and love others. You forgive and love for yourself, bitterness and angry kills us inside. Jesus is love and he wants to ignite the fire and excitement for life again. Just ask him to take control. God bless you 🙏🏽
@@j.khuster2024 But we are gradually changing we are not like we were before now it burning to live even in Africa ,too much hate ,killing each other ,too much alcohol consumption and drugs, teenage pregnancy ,greedy politicians, stealing ,Africa is in a mess .
@@jabumjoka86 thank you for opening my eyes. 🙏
love from India she is making everything perfect responsibility has no age she proved it may God bless her❤
Thank you
The way I see this young lady manage her home is commendable. In many cultures a 12 year old has more life skills than westernised girls in their late 20's dare I say late 30's 🤭
Sweeping a dirt floor is a skill? She is doing manual labor. Can she even read?
Mary is a well brought up young girl. I can relate with her story. It's not child labor. We all loved doing such chores. You don't need to be told what to do once you wake up in the morning because you are already used to these chores.
Yeah this is the lifestyle in the village playing comes after one is done
I am reminded to count my blessings on a daily basis....Wow...she is far more responsible than I ever was/had to be.....just Wow....
🥰🥰
I feel for this little girl. Sadly, similar circumstances occur all over the world when mothers leave, parents divorce, parents die, children are abandoned. The world is harsh. Look at this girl's resilience, caring, and will to survive! She is magnificent! Should this happen? No! But look at her determination and strength of character! Good for you, little lady! Keep looking upward and do not allow anyone to limit your potential once you are grown.
Wow what an eye opener for our kids, this would never happen here in the States.I don’t believe it ‘s child labor because she is doing it for her family only, not for others.
Why her brother don't do any work ..her brother nd mom waiting for karma soon😢..poor little girl
Malika, Malika, Malika,,,,,,,,,,,,,What can I say, You story is sad, and your story is informative, Mary is acting like an adult when she should be out there playing enjoying her childhood, but I am proud of her very proud of her, she got to do what she got to do. God bless her.
Amen🙏
I'm African living in a modern home, my kids also do chores, go to school and play. I grew up in the village doing all these chores and also going to the farm and I can tell you that there is nothing wrong with it 😊
God bless her! Our spolied children in the U.S. could learn much from this precious girl ! Sending hugs and love to you Mary ! 🙏🏻❤️😘
Wow, thank you
Spoiled? You mean children whose parents allow them to be children? She may be responsible but I doubt she is truly happy doing all of this
@@SuperUhohspaghettio Yes. Spoiled.
😂😂😂😂
@Chelsea Turner no, I meant spoiled! I'm 55 yrs old when I was a young tween I was already helping my mom with chores while she worked 2 jobs most times. This "country" has become selfish, completely self consumed, and all kids think of is I want, I want , give me this give me that & are completely disrespectful, care nothing about life or the meaning of it! We were VERY fortunate to be born into what we have here, I really think most have forgotten this. This young girl is doing what is necessary to help their family survive- is it fair looking where we sit? Probably not to most but again, we've become a very selfish spoiled country hell most kids don't even have values today! It's like the more you give, the more they want. These children there are SO appreciative of what they do have ! So take it any way you choose but this is how I feel. God help this country 🙏🏻
My Mom had a large family of 9 and I became Mother's helper. ❤ Much respect to this sweet daughter.
No doubt that Mary is a very responsible and capable young girl. My question is why is she doing the majority of the housework when it seems she has a male sibling around her age that is also present?
The male also does Housework... And he is a special boy
@@MalikaKenya Okay well that makes sense. Thank you for responding.
Mary is doing well, we Africa children are trained well that is why we can leave and stay in any environment. Just dey way I was trained and how I will still train my children even if I leave outside Africa. Am proud to be a product of Africa ❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I grew up in Georgia and this was how I was raised. Started cooking at 11 when my mom had to work full time after my dad died. Did most of the cleaning too. I’m grateful because I can take care of my family while most women my age can’t boil an egg and refuse to learn.
Thank you for sharing 🙏❤️
Most women your age can’t cook even though you live in a Southern state? I’m feeling like you’re not being very truthful. Unless you live in the Country named Georgia.
I'm those other women and I have no regrets.
Well, perhaps some of the men can learn to cook and it will all even out.
@@kadzo6614 🤣🤣🤣🤣✌️✌️✌️
This young girl is amazing!! Here in the USA some children would never let alone they don’t even want to wash their own behind😂 I been to Ghana and I told people children over in Africa is built way different! Very respectful, and responsible. I wonder why she had to sleep outside of the main house in the kitchen at that, if they have a beautiful home.
Yeah children are trained well here in the village and early...
That's awesome she is such a great cook at her age. Her mother has instilled so many things that are important to her to make her independent if need be.
Can you do another video showing us what the young boy responsibilities are if he is part of the family that would be interesting. God bless.
Yes stay tuned in🥰🙏
I was thinking the same. Seeing him standing around doing nothing was a bit awkward tbh.
Iam a filipino and I did same what she’s doing,I’m even more younger than before coz when I was 9 years old I know how to cook simple food,clean the house and washing clothes also dishes,at this age I go market and my mother gave me the money and list of what I gonna buy,I’m proud I learned and trained at very young age coz it made me better responsible individual nowadays.
Thanks for sharing!!🥰
What she’s doing is amazing. Where I’m from kids are so spoiled and then when they hit their teens they get depressed because they don’t know how to function as an adult and they’re not even considered adults by law which is so stupid. Learning all of this from a young age is great, I’m all for it.
what..so you are clowning depressed kids because they cant "function" well im sorry not everyone grows up on the right path and plenty of kids like this get depressed too so what the hell are you talking about
What a humble and responsible
Girl. I have shown this to my children, to show them how many other children live, we are in the UK. May God bless their family. 💜
Thank you
I’m very glad to see such a beautiful little girl taking good care of her siblings while her mother in such of their daily bread 😅and also she is so respectful little angel of a girl, bless to those who brought you into this world and your parents should be proud of you as their child and you are a biggest bless to God and your parents even the community as large.
Amen🙏🙏🙏
