Tweeps applaud Clint Brink after trolls bash his daddy duties

Media personality Clint Brink was bashed on Twitter for boasting his fatherly duties in a post.

The new dad, who welcomed his baby Arielle Harmony with his wife Steffi Brink in April this year, was dragged by men on Twitter for sharing his routine with his baby girl.

He posted a picture of himself with Arielle, under a blanket, sleeping on his chest as he holds her.

He captioned the post: “Day starts at 3:30. I wake up, make my wife coffee , prep & pack her food for her day at work. She feeds Arielle round 4am & pumps milk before leaving the house by 4:30 to get to work 5:15.

“Baby wakes up at round 6am again.I fed & changed her, now for a nap before work. #DadLife

Some men were not impressed. They said Brink must see a sangoma to become a “real African man again”, that it was “too much work” and “womanly duties”.

Brink clapped back: “I notice that. It's cause men think nurturing is a woman's responsibility and unmanly when the truth is men can also nurture in their own way. Through leading by example & love.

“If you don't know how to meet a woman emotionally & mentally, your physical efforts mean little.”

Others applauded the 42-year-old dad for his role.

His post also drew fellow fathers to share their experience.
