Some men are just disgusting. . . rats full of utter rubbish. I hope she's making his azz pay child support. Useless man.
If you dont want a child, abstain from se x or use a freaking condom. sheesh.

You know, I really dont care if they dont know what to do with babies, they can learn like the first mothers. Can you imagine a man telling you that he cant help you take care of his 23-chromosomes?

LOL if only they think like that we wouldnt have negligent/irresponsible fathers i swear. sadly, some mens job as a "father" ends when the egg receives the sperm.

u know like how moms tend to be emotionally bonded to their newborns and tend to respond always when they cry, some nutty men even tell them to leave him/her to cry. u can imagine

u know sometimes the problem is that some men feel that their wives deviate attention from them and focuses too much on the baby that in some cases results not in jealousy but in 'competition of attention'

i was listening to a program one day,and this man called and was so choked up(with lack of words/embarrassment/emotions) the school just called him and told him that his daughter(his is divorced and have custody) have started her period and is very hysterical(poor girl) so he needs to come to the school. the dude was so embarrassed, he didnt know what to say to his little- now growing into a woman- princess. what will he say,how would he explain the whole process of menstruation to her without creating an awkward environment for himself and his girl etc. i felt so bad for him because this is the sort things better handled at least well by mothers and females, now the poor dude has to be a substitute professor for "the what is happening to your body" 101 grin

Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 2:15am On Oct 02, 2010
how u dey


i wouldnt want to be his experimental -professor -student -lesson grin. embarrassing for some mothers sef to talk about, talk-less of a dad. i guess he wasn't expecting it so sudden and at so unexpected place. at least, if he had known early maybe, -she is of a certain age so it might start anytime soon- kind of thing, he would have probably asked one of his sisters/aunts/mother or female friends to do the lecture. which is what most men do.

now he has to sit her down, explain,buy pads/drugs etc grin


a girl was discussing how when first started hers, she was living with her dad(divorced) when she first saw it, she immediately told her dad that she started her period and he should go and buy her pads. he told the dad not to tell anyone or families out of embarrassment.

i'm fine o. . .[size=5pt]i know you're fine cos i've been monitoring you and FL[/size]

k. . .i've prolly watched one too many single dad comedies, i tend to see such things from the point of bonding experiences, as in, it'll never happen again the important thing to do is be there for someone you love during a confusing time, it's not really about knowing the correct thing to do/say.

Hopefully, much later in life both of them'll be able to laugh about it.

Not all dads feel embarrased about these things. Mine was a very blunt dad. My mum travelled when I first saw my menses. Dad was home. I was feeling so embarrassed telling him but he made the situation so light. He asked if I'd read a book he bought for me few months ago, can't remember the title now but it's about growing into puberty and stuff. Funny thing, I never opened the book for once and I told him so. He said, ok, no problem. we must have been taught something like this in my biology classes at school, he was right but I still denied that we weren't taught, don't know why I did that.

He then went out and came back with a sanitary towel and handed it to me, asked if I could use it and I said yes.
Later that day, he sat me down and had a long talk with me about all the stuff. How a girl can become pregnant, relating with the opposite sex etc etc. We became much closer since then.

yea, it could open that channel for bonding and open even more ample opportunity to have the open mind to discuss the "sex talk" and boys.

some dads would be less embarrassed about it, if at least there has always been that father-daughter good relationship before. even though it would sort of awkward at first i.e describing the whole anatomy of what is happening etc, it wouldnt necessarily cause a huge embarrassment. for example, you can imagine  a very authoritarian dad u didnt really always have that one-one relationship with all of a sudden start discussing those kind of things with you. but the dude i described was pretty very embarrassed grin

anyways, its nice yours turned-out  good and helped established a long term result and that very special and important father-daughter bonding.

“Support should be given to integral sexual education and services for young people, with the support and guidance of their parents and in line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child…” “Educational efforts should begin within the family unit, in the community and in the schools at an appropriate age, but must also reach adults, in particular men, through non-formal education and a variety of community-based efforts. “
-ICPD Programme of Action, para. 7.37.


“Research has shown that sexuality education programmes targeted at young people are most
effective when they: give a clear, consistent message based on accurate information
focus on reducing sexual behaviours that lead to unintended pregnancy and infection are specific to age and culture are based on a theoretical framework proven to change health behaviours use teaching methods that involve students are skill-based and address social pressures motivate and train teachers to participate”
- Douglas Kirby, UNFPA State of World Population 2003


Several research studies have shown that young people typically go through the challenging process of growing up with little or no sexual and reproductive health information. Much of what they know is mainly received from peers who are often ignorant about these issues and provide either erroneous or inadequate information.

Access to sexuality education remains one of the vital approaches to mitigating negative health outcomes for young people.

Parenting is a serious business that requires a lot of skills. Good parenting calls for good parenting skills.  Good parental guide is prerequisite to bringing up a child properly. This however, requires that a parent has the right values which she can inculcate to the young one. Remember, you cannot give what you do not have. Every parent needs to be a friend and a role model to her growing child. The use of cane may not achieve much where ever those two are lacking.
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Alubus: 2:05pm On Nov 30, 2010
Children are great gift from God and God gives them to who ever he wills, but one thing that i believe is that, whosoever that has received this favour from God should know that it is a favour with responsibility, because we are the caretaker of these children and we must have to give account to the owner and i mean Godhimself. So we must trained them properly,and in the way of the Lord, May God help us parents in Jesus name.
