The doting mum, who moved to the United States of America (USA) with her two lovely daughters, was cornered by Norah, her elder daughter.
Which high school did Norah attend in Kenya?
She could barely speak as her daughter, who studied at Alliance Girls High School before moving abroad, lectured her.

Norah ensured her mum could not move from the corner of the house as she boldly and confidently spoke her mind.
“Have you ever been told by your teenager that their phone is on Do Not Disturb (DND) mode?” Jeridah captioned the viral and engaging post.
Jeridah stares at her daughter as she rants
She leaned on the white wall of their lovely house, staring at her daughter, who kept ranting about why she did not pick up her call.
Norah claimed she called her mother seven times but still could not reach her after all the attempts.
“So I called you seven times, but it didn’t occur to you that, ‘Maybe I should call her back. Maybe there’s an emergency.’ Like, it didn’t click to you. You’re very smart. You’re so smart, Mom. You have a very smart brain. Guys, my mom is so smart. I trust you, Mom, you know.
I feel like if I call you twice, you should realize that something is going wrong, you know. Your children are your number one priority. You live for your children, Mom. And when your children call you more than twice, it should be like, ‘What if the house was burning down?’ What if I couldn’t text you, ‘Hey, Mom, this and that,’ because I was in a situation where I couldn’t type? What if that was the situation?” she ranted.
Jeridah responds to her daughter's ranting
The young lady did not pause as she kept giving hypothetical scenarios of situations she could be in, yet her mum never bothered to pick up or call her back.
Norah said she almost cried after her mum seemingly ignored her calls. Her mum finally got a chance to speak.
“Was the issue sorted? I always know you’re a big girl. You can handle stuff. I’m sorry, okay?” she said, hugging her daughter, who added that she “crashed out” when her mum failed to answer her call.
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, counsellor Jane Murimi Mugo shared the reason Jeridah could have ignored her daughter's call.
"Sometimes parents are either busy or they want their children to be independent. Having missed seven calls, surely, Jeridah must have known what the issue was. Sometimes parents just want their kids to sort things by themselves and take responsibility. Parents have some instincts and so if it was a genuine emergency, she would have known and picked the call," she said.
Netizens react to Jeridah's interaction with Norah
Netizens were amused by the hilarious fuss caused by the upset young girl as they headed to the comment section:

"😂😂😂 Since they taught me how to put my phone on DND, my life has never been the same."

"She learnt how to navigate a stressful situation, this was a good teaching moment. Well done, Mama."
lilysim2008:
"My 20-year-old son, when I call, he doesn’t pick up even five times. But when he calls and I don’t pick up, he’ll call his sister and ask if I’m at home and with my phone. Remember, it’s just one missed call, like seriously!"
