A child's sojourn with people other than their biological parents helps a child to appreciate people more.

@topic, hell no FULLSTOP AGAIN

NO ... No matter ao close d person may be to me

Nay!

I no go try am lie lie oooo...under 6years ke..that's not fair abeg.. Even if he or she is up to 18years sef, they can be molested..Instead of that, them go stay for boarding school. I have sworn not to try it.

Hell no! Not while i'm alive. Weneva i send my younger brother on an errand and he did not show up on time, i feel restless. So imagine if he was my son, would'nt deem it fit to let him outta my sight.

No matter how close,i won't allow it. You don't assume you know somebody's behaviour coz your kids spent their vacation there and enjoyed it. Let them stay longer,you'll know.
The irony is,the one's you think aint close enough are better by far.
Unfortunately,most kids won't tell you the ugly part of the story.

My mum wanted me to send one of my kids to live with her (she lives in Lagos, we're in the UK). I mean what's the point of it? If we don't send money to our mum she can't buy food so why does she want one of my kids I don't get it really. Anyway, it was a resounding NO from me. She quickly dropped the idea.

I will never allow my child to live with anyone, i grew up living with my elder sister and what i went through in her house is better not told here.

NEVER!

Definitely!

As long as the child would get the care and love they need from the person and still have frequent access to his/her parents.

It is not necessarily ideal, but it is very feasible.

Never,
@ 6 when am supposed to be there at the child's formative years,
Mbanu.

I am a very emmotional person. As far as I am still alive, I believe I cant allow my kid to live with another person, not even my parents whom I so much love and respect. I cant imagine myself comming from work and not see my child to hug.

Yes I can, as soon as I confirm myself a failure. How else can I not provide for my child or children including buying or paying for whatever will make their lives same as what obtains at home. God forbid that my child should be allowed to stay with anyone else be the person a relation or otherwise? At least not while I am alive and kicking.

Akshow: Hell no

my frnd's mom has 4 boys nd no gal of her own... Bt 2 gals are staying with her and she treats them just like her children... So @ op, it depends on the condition..

NNEEVVEERRR!!! Nt yl am stil breathin

Callotti: Most definitely. . . MY MOM AND DAD OR SIBLINGS!
No one else. I may drop dead today if my darling AGNOSTIC God decides to call moi. . . I want them to be able to develop sound emotional and psychological compasses/senses of wellbeing! TO REALIZE THAT NO ONE IS INDISPENSIBLE!!!
I lived with my grandma for a while while my parents were studying abroad.
THOSE WERE THE MOST PRODUCTIVE YEARS OF MY LIFE!
I learned soooooooooooo many things that have helped me today to be a strong, independent woman!
I LOVE MY PARENTS AND I LOVE MY GRANDMA!

I don't come from 'dysfunctional' roots. . . .so I have absolutely no fear!
My children have been taught how to communicate effectively and can NEVER be intimidated. . . just like moi!
No matter who they live with! I have taught them about OPTIONS!!!! All about developing the basic survival instincts!


It is only natural to 'fear' others. . .if your life and upbringing was marred by domestic violence and sex-ual exploitation!
I thank my AGNOSTIC GOD!

I nor get that kain 'born hia-born dia' kind of dysfunctional problem!
MOST NIGERIAN PARENTS ARE PSYCHOS THEMSELVES!

Survival instincts at 6 years old you do come across as a totally cold human being so I am not sure that it worked for you.

debrief08: Seeing what I went through before having babies one will expect me to be over protective and want my kids around me 24/7, Contrary, I learnt a lot mrom my mother in law.
Yes I will let my kids stay with my family and very close friends, My son spends a bulk of his hokidays with my Dad and same for the other grand kids its like a reunion. He lines up a lot of activities for them and they have loads of fun.
Maybe I am old school and don't believe my kids are mine alone. I think its good to let them have a life. Living permanently with someone I doubt but holidays, sleep overs etc they are welcome.
My boy is fiercely independent and doesn't like being fussed over, he is orgainised and neat, even scolds me when I dump things in his room anyhow.

Let kids be kids, I wasn't bubble wrapped and don't intend to bubble wrap my kids.
I have seen 5 year olds scream and cry when being seperated from their parents, My boy barely turns to say bye, he is usually excited about the fun he is about to have with and a change of environment.

somebody dey talk of permanent living, you dey mention "holiday" all these ajebotas for nairaland na wah

My children can only spend the night(s) outside my house only in their grandmother's house! Children of nowadays need close monitoring. My take on this is a very big NO

pple shd b ready to take responsibility nd train their kids by themselves.

As for me i cant allow my child to live anybody no matter how close, i was a product of that kind of lifestyle i lived the first 30 yrs of my live with my uncle and i still have the scar on me up till now u can never know the heart of man i pray that God will give us long life so that we will be able to take very good care of our children nobody i mean nobody can take care of your child like you

How can she single out a child from the rest,well to be on a safe side,because some people can be wicked,maybe she has gone to (yewo) the childs destiny as some people believe.Its no good idea,tell your friend to train her kid herself.

@uplawal e pele nibe yen ..... destiny you said eh?..... Now that is a serious matter o you believe in all that? but what do I know?..... It's human we are talking about here

While growing up I once lived with an uncle, not a good experience but I'm a better person and in a better position today, so thank God. Anyways, it was just an experience for me.

Under no circumstance, whatsoever would any of my kids live with any relatives. I pray for long life, financial wealth and sufficiency to be father enough for my families in Jesus name, amen.

Ok, this na my own take. I lived with my own blood sister for almost eleven years.
Even though we were blood related, it never stopped her from treating me like a slave.
At slightest provocation, my ghana must go will see the street that day, hurling all manner
of abuse at me. I saw ghen ghen 4 her hand. i was always abused by her Husband, and because i tuned
down all his advances, he lied to my sister that i disrespect him, therefore the abuse never stopped.
The main housemaid of thr house,that one, my own case better pass her own. Tufiakwa..plus God forbid, never will my
children live with anyone.
