LOL @Old school parents

Once mum told me and my hubby to submit our passports to her for safe keeping when we visited Nigeria
I laugh tire that day

When I was growing up I used to swear that I wouldn't be like my parents and will be very cool - No smacking and no telling off

For where . . . . . .

My drama puts patience Ozokwor to shame
I managed the no smacking but I can talk ehn . . . .

The kids eyes are on permanent roll
I can even sense the rolling on the phone

So did you submit the passports?

Lewis, are you sure you ain't talking about my mum lol...my mum is also like that. Whenever she comes around, she would always enquire about where I am going to and would not hesitate to call me if I am not back by 10pm except it's a work day, it got so bad at one point that I had to tell that only my hubby had the right to ask me such questions

Like you and Damiso said, the most difficult part of it all is finding the right balance between then and now but if I were to err at all, I would err using their methods than what is obtainable now. Children have a way of knowing their parent's weaknesses and taking advantage of it to the fullest.

I also get very worried about my daughter sometimes. One problem I currently have is getting her to eat. She is losing a lot of weight from not eating coupled with the different activities typical of her age that she engages in yet she remains picky with food. I have cajoled, begged, tricked, threatened but it all seems not to be working. Sometimes, I ask myself what my parents would do if they were in my shoes *sighs*

@damiso -I honestly don't mind more kids but I don't see myself going through that 9 month journey again...lol

It seems your daughter and my son are the same. Funny enough he was not fussy as a baby but as soon as he turned 3 he just changed. Like you sometimes I think I am spoiling him by giving him too much variety or allowing him have what he likes( eg chicken and a few other things)Some days he literarily will not eat anything all day because I am trying to 'teach him a lesson' by insisting he eats what I give him. Then I feel bad cos its like am starving him. The boy will rather starve than eat what he does not like. The thing makes me so mad.

Then I remember how I used to not eat breakfast on Saturday mornings cos I hated pap and Akara. And how I hated boiled potatoes and a lot of food my mum had on her 'annoying time table'. LOL

Its tricky but I pray God gives us the grace to get the balance just about right.

Hahahahaha she wasn't like this as a baby too oo

@modath - what's happening on our thread? Too many hidden posts lately. I hang out there most evenings even though I rarely post. Whatever it is, the vision must not die o

Kimoni:


Something is funny here Dami. In one vein, we are berating our parents for their high-handedness in bringing up kids calling them old-skool but when we see the repercussions on those who didn't have this strict upbringing, we start appreciating them for that same high-handedness that saw us become better persons. So which is it?

Cc: Stillfire [size=4pt](sure you know why I tagged you)[/size]

Lol, I haven't read prior responses but I think I have a clue why I was tagged. I berate our African parents because they don't just know when to let go of their adult child. Adult being the operative word. It has to take the grace of God to get it into their skulls that their child is now grown and you cannot treat them like kids any more.

You see...
Mine recently told me in an authoritative tone that 'you see all this 'slimming' thing you are doing, I don't like it, you'd better add weight'. The effrontery!!!!!!!!
As if it is up to her what my size looks like.

Lol...the opposite actually. I see you always appreciate your parents for giving you a "sheltered" upbringing. I see that comment from you very often So now I gat you, which is it? Sugarbelly's upbringing or Stillfire's?

I did not use to appreciate them, lol and I think my upbringing kinda killed my social skills, now add a dose of introversion and then you may have one of those socially awkward children on earth. I have gotten better over the years. Nevertheless I will take lack of social skills over being exposed to gang rape. So stillfire upbringing.

Good evening people, hope we are all good.

Body whiteness
Had to boil water to take my bathe, I love bathing cold water
Had to carry lip balm around

Lol, I can understand, I guess I'm lucky sha as my body doesn't experience that and my lip gloss stays on, I don't worry about carrying it around.

I like the atmosphere during this time, I find it very romantic and it induces nostalgic feelings a lot for me.
