Widow displays unusual assignment given to little daughter

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a little girl who got enrolled at a new school faced disappointment when the teacher marked her sincere answer to a question about who pays their school fees incorrectly.

The little girl, who has known her mum to play both father and mother roles since her dad's passing, ticked "mother" as the answer. According to the post on a closed Facebook group, the teacher marked down the pupil, an action which left the child's mother in anguish due to the authenticity of her daughter's response.

The young widow has been shouldering the responsibilities of both parents since her husband's demise. With two daughters to care for, she made the difficult decision to change schools, hoping for better educational opportunities. Since her daughters have never experienced a father taking them to school or providing for their needs, they have always seen their mother as their sole caregiver.
