“Guys, I’m so grateful I don’t have kids,” expressed social media influencer and entrepreneur Mihlali Ndamase, sharing her joy in living a child-free lifestyle.
In a recent Instagram video, Ndamase showcased her relaxed morning routine, lying comfortably in bed.
“I thank God every day that I do not have children. Yoh, I can’t imagine right now. It’s a Saturday, and I’m still in my bed. It’s like half past ten going for eleven.
"Imagine being woken up by someone at seven because they want to watch Cocomelon and have cereal. I would bite that child! I thank the Lord that I don’t have a child. Oh my gosh!” she remarked.
As an older sister to Buima, whom she affectionately calls her "baby" and "Ms B", Ndamase is well aware of the responsibilities that come with parenting.
Ms B has appeared in Ndamase's vlogs, and the influencer has been fiercely protective of her younger sister, often shielding her from online trolls.
Ndamase's candid remarks have sparked a lively debate online, reflecting a growing trend among young women who are choosing to delay motherhood in favour of a carefree lifestyle.
Reactions to her video varied widely on social media:
@Bet38961207 commented, “It's a good thing not to have children when you are not ready! Many men have kids when they have no means to support them, and they end up disappearing from their kids' lives!”
@SegodiTlour added, “Financial pressures are real, and raising kids is expensive. No kids means more freedom to focus on other goals or just breathe easier with the cost of living soaring. I stand with her in this.”
@AugustBTC remarked, “She is acting like beauty can pause a biological clock. 30 isn't 20, and the cool auntie aesthetic has a very short shelf life. In five years, when the luxury trips feel empty, she’ll realise she traded a legacy for likes.”
@cozycrypto97 stated, “Her having kids would slow down her line of work.”
Recently, Ndamase travelled to Paris and Turkey, where she showcased her chic Parisian style. A notable fashionista, she launched Treasury Designs, a luxury boutique fashion store, in November 2025.
The award-winning content creator also attended the prestigious Istanbul Fashion Connection (IFCO) 2026, where she scouted the latest trends for Treasury Designs and met with top Turkish textile giants.
Ndamase was spotted at several fashion shows during the event, particularly in the Fashionist section, which focuses on occasion-wear and evening gowns - styles she is famous for.
