New Zealand PM’s official video call cut short by 3-year old daughter who wanted to go to bed

<p>
The video clipping of New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern having to put aside the affairs of the State as her three-year-old daughter Neve called her has caught the attention of the netizens, making parents all over identify with her.</p>
<p>
The 41-year-old Kiwi leader while doing the Monday Facebook livestream informing the nation about important revisions to Covid-19 restrictions when she was interrupted by an unexpected voice calling out “mummy”. It was her daughter who was told by the premier that it was bedtime. Then started a lively exchange where the PM tried to have protracted negotiations which proved fruitless.</p>
<p>
Resuming her briefing she was asked as to what was taking her so long, making Ardern take leave stating that it was well past Neve’s bedtime.</p>
<p>
Ardern in 2018 was the second Prime Minister in the world to give birth while in office. The first was India’s neighbour Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto.</p>
