A disturbing confession by a 25-year-old mother has sparked outrage on social media after she revealed that she hates her infant daughter and has considered “discharging” her without her husband noticing.

In her viral post, the woman admitted that she never wanted a child so soon after marriage, having agreed with her husband to wait at least three years. She also confessed she had hoped her first child would be a boy. Instead, just a year into their marriage, she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl — an event she says ruined her plans to “enjoy life” freely.

Rather than celebrating motherhood, the woman described rejecting her daughter from birth, refusing to breastfeed her, and resenting the child’s constant crying and unusual sleeping positions. The post was accompanied by a photo of the baby lying awkwardly on a couch, which drew widespread sympathy for the helpless child.

Public reactions were swift and harsh. One commenter, Joyce Oluwademilade, wrote: “Ahhhh! I am not only pouring you spit, I pour you early morning urine. Shame on you.” Many others accused the mother of cruelty and lacking conscience.

Child rights advocates have condemned the confession, warning that neglect and rejection could have devastating effects on the baby’s health and development. Medical experts added that denying a child breast milk can lead to malnutrition, stunted growth, and even death.

Observers say the case highlights deeper issues of unprepared parenthood and the pressures faced by young couples who enter marriage without proper planning. While many online demanded intervention, others suggested the baby should be placed in the care of someone capable of giving her the love and protection she deserves.

The incident has reignited conversations on parenting responsibility, maternal mental health, and the urgent need for family and community support to prevent tragedies stemming from neglect.
