Critiqued for Being Called a Stepchild, Zaskia Adya Mecca Explains Why She Writes 'Mother of 5 Children' in Instagram Bio

Kapanlagi.com - Zaskia Adya Mecca just recently received a new happiness. The wife of Hanung Bramantyo has given birth to her fifth child, a baby boy named Bhaj Kama. Zaskia is always grateful for the presence of her smart children.

Unfortunately, there are still some mischievous individuals in Zaskia's life. There are several netizens who criticize her when Zaskia does not upload photos of Bhumi, Hanung's child from her first marriage. They think that this hijab-wearing woman forgets her stepchild.

1. Impossible to Forget Bhumi

Through a complete photo together (including Bhumi) uploaded on Sunday (2/8/2020), Zaskia gave a long response to netizens' criticism regarding her children. Including her Instagram bio which reads 'mother of five'.

"Oh viewers who want to remind me to feel kind but actually mischievous, how could I forget that I have a child as big as this? Who has lived together for almost 11 years, their room is in front of mine, almost every day we meet, tell stories, share our lives for the past 11 years, etc. If they're not mentioned, it's because they're not with me at that time. If we don't take photos together, it's because we just don't take photos, if we don't go on vacation together, it's because we can't. Not all lives are always filled with drama like a soap opera. We are all fine."

2. Reasons for Writing Mother of 6 in Bio

Zaskia admitted that she wanted to respond to nosy comments from netizens, but she realized it was pointless. That's why she chose to explain extensively in the caption about her reasons for not writing mother of six in her bio.

"So in this situation, who is being the stepmother? Me or you who are being annoyed? Do you want to know why I wrote mom of 5 in my bio? It's because I respect Mas Bhumi's mother, whom I love like my own sister, whose presence for Bhumi is complete and always there. Sometimes I feel hesitant because I feel like I'm taking her position. So this is my way of acknowledging the presence of Bhumi's mother as well. Biologically, I have 5 children, but in terms of love and presence, I have 6 core children," Zaskia wrote.

Oh nosy netizens, have your curiosity been answered? Stay happy for Zaskia and her family!
