Man, there were some angry parents! Child protection services would have visited so many families , and taken the kids away.

Where are you from?

I always take my tea with a lot of sugar,
I remember mom was talking about my excessive intake of sugar this particular day while we were all having our breakfast of bread and tea
when my silly mouth just bursted out "THE ONLY SUGAR IN MY TEA" And I was just 8yr old
I dint know what made me say that, but bhoy dint I get thrashed. "OUCH"

mädchen:


Sorry to hear that. Did they ever give a reason for this action. Wonder if it is possible to ask them today?

@topic
Putting the fear of 'herself' in me. Won't correct you without being insultive and making you look silly. I remember a scenario like this, mum says Stilly get me my bag. You go to her room and you find a thousand handbags there, you begin to ask yourself which bag is it? You begin to fight with your mind whether you should ask her or not, because with asking her you would get something like 'are you crazy'? Didn't you see the handbag I use more often than the rest? This is somebody that has carried like 5 handbags in a week.   God help you, you bring the wrong one.

Now she wants us to be chatting like friends. . .err. . . awkward!
My dad's more reasonable and doesn't need anger management classes.

Ujujoan:

Dad: Who is that?

Me: My friend . . .

Dad: What? In my house? what do you know the word 'friend' means?

Me: *looking totally confused*

Dad: I asked you a question . . . what do you know about friendship?

Me: But dad, she's my friend in school . .

Dad: And so what? Your friendship should end is school oh, I don't want her in my house, do you hear me (shouting), I dont want her in my house! Infact tell her your daddy said he doesn't want her to be your friend! Do you hear me? When you grow up, you can start making friends . . Infact, tell her to go homw now!

Me: But dad I'm 15, can't I . .

Dad: My friend shut up! I said, NO FRIENDS and that's final!

Me:        

I dont know sha, but for some reason, having friends was a no-no for us when we where growing up. No wonder I always pick the wrong friends now!

You got thrashed for saying the only sugar in my tea

i remeber this one wella. we were for a long time, the only muslims on my street as a kid. one sallah we found that 90% of our neighbours ('born agains') were basically throwing the ram meat we gave away

Mom's mistake is that she relates everything that happens in our house to some supernatural stuffs/As the cause of witches . Even if a mosquito over-bite mom or any of us mom will immediately carry her bible and engage  in a verbal war with some unseen spirit and all we hear is "die die by fire die by fire shira baba buska buska shaba shaba " . This attitude changed my younger brother's attitude that they view any unfortunate occurrence or petty accident  as the handiwork of the devil, Like when my youngest brother came third in his class' promotional exam though he used to be the first  he came home saying " it's the handiwork of the devil that somehow in the exam hall he could not see anything .Dad's hot slap descended on his face before he finished and mom took him to her room laid her hands on his head and was buskaing shirababaing roboskotoing , Damn ! it really got me pissed ,

Me: But dad I'm 15, can't I . . (Dem no born me well to make this kain statement, But peradventure The goblins in our village are following me and I say something like this? Read following sequence below)

(At this point Mine would go like this)

Dad: Ok,  I didnt realise you are 15, Ok Go and stool down in my room. And get my the cane. Since you are 15, that mean you can start beating me in my house now abi?

After serious flogging If they ask me for my age I would say 5yrs

Dad's mistake is he never allow us to stay in the kitchen when mom's cooking . Mom believed that she's teaching us to cook but dad always object and he made mom stopped it , we thought it was a good thing not until i had to start cooking myself , I burnt foods and added too much salt to the food .I could not even make a pap and the garri(eba ) do have lots of lumps   [/b]

Ujujoan, I meant asking your parents today! I don't think they'd slap you today. I'm assuming everyone's grown

Ujujoan:

ROTFLMAO    

I guess that's the fun in being the last in a family of 9. My parents were tired of flogging by then!  

Exactly! By the time it was my turn, my father was tired.
My mum was another matter sha. International beater, that woman.

I think we should make another thread for ordeals of first born especially male first born.

At some time, I was so convinced they were not my parents, And I even formed pictures and scenarios in my head of how "my real parents gave me up for adoption"

I was wondering how my real parents can be this tough/wicked on me

Ujujoan:

I seriously doubt that!

Where are you from
