In a series of Instagram stories, Amber responded to a meme that suggested families should get back to meeting for family dinners and not just funerals, saying that she has always dreamt of having a big family, but the economy being challenging might prevent her from doing so.

" I This is one reason I love a big family& but this economy can't allow me but one thing for sure... I'll be a rich grandma I want my kids and grandkids to be able to visit me without the fear of money expectations or visiting empty-handed" she posted

Amber said it is time for African children to break that generational chain and the expectations of paying for their parent's bills.

"I'm a huge supporter of kids should not be paying bills for their parents and I think it's high time as Africans to break that chain!" she added.


The socialite added that although she likes being the breadwinner and providing for her family, she would never want her kids to go through the same thing.
