Shout out to women, I've read all these, from page one to last, and mothers are better than fathers. But there are actually some good men out there, just that they are very scarce. But all you men should learn and be good to your children, the truth is all these men didn't plan to be wicked to their family, but sometimes psychological disturbances, life stress, can make people become what they won't be proud of, for instance, all those that said their fathers were drunkards.
You need to be constantly evaluating yourself, and ask your wives, children what they think about you as a father. Sometimes, it could be heredity as well, my fathers aggression is hereditary, and he tell us every time and thus work on himself. Comparing children sometimes can be natural when we feel frustrated, especially when children are in their teen ages.
We should learn to accept our flaws, it is only then we can work on those flaws.
Sometimes, it could actually be their wives not making them happy, and thus they transfer it to the children.
And many times, abusive children become abusive parents, most of you commenting here would turn out to be just like your parents, in another way because you are dealing with children of another generation, you won't know you are like them because you will be in denial and look for what to blame instead.
Ask your children, or you can even talk to your child's teacher to help you with a secret parental survey if you think your child may not want to tell you the truth.
Don't ever think children are young, they understand everything going on and how you treat their mothers. I understood things since I was age two, how we do in my family. Don't beat your wife, don't curse on them, your children are watching you and would judge you on how you treat their mothers.
Self evaluation is key, learn to stay strong in difficult times, learn to control your emotions, pray to God, marry a good wife, discipline your emotions and wants, understand that children are gifts and you need to be the best for them

I am really sorry about the upbringing of most folks here; I read your story and I can't help but thank heavens for giving me the kind of parents I have.

My dad is more than Superman, like he figuratively carried the whole family on his shoulders while my mom did her job taking care of us.
The only thing I don't really like about my dad is that he adores my mother too much, like everything she says is right, no matter how we try to convince him we(my siblings and I) are right. My mom has all my dad's mumu button but it truly served us well o especially when it came to finance, my mom knows how to make good decisions.

Ever since my mom "found Christ" , I didn't found it funny. She's against all my friends, especially the females. I didn't know how to approach a girl till I turned 18-19 (with memorized lines). She killed my social status. She has embarrassed me many times around female friends because she thinks the devil sent them to destroy he son's destiny just like how Delilah was sent to destroy Samson's. Seriously, religion really turned (not brainwashed) her to something else but that was then.....but man got his status back immediately he got into the university.

None coz its not easy to be a parent. Sometimes they say or do things that make you angry but in the end you will realize that it was all for the best.
I used to have the same school of thought when I was younger, but I disagree. The older I got, the more I realized parents have no instructional manual to upbring a child, thus not immune to make mistakes or take wrong decisions. Sometimes they mean well, sometimes they are just toxic.
But hey, we can't do without them either way can we? cool

"Dad was a great man,
He stays behind just to shakes hand,
I heard him talk with the clergy man
That his boy, gonna be a great lad"
Deep inside, I scream amen
Even without the road map
I know i'd be a great man"


But am proud of dad and mum, they have their failings yet still manage to raise me and my siblings..

I think I have OCD or I'm a perfectionist, but in a different way. Are you a psychologist?
Nah, I'm just someone that reads alot of articles online and I read alot about OCD .
So what makes you think you have OCD?
Can you relate with any of the examples I gave?
Is it affecting your negatively or positively?

I love my parents so much from the depths of my heart!! But my dad is a chronic gambler which I hate so much about him. he has been doing this for like over 20yrs now. We have sat him down to talk to him on several occasions but he refused to stop, even when my mum threatened to leave. I send 70k for both of them every month(40k for dad and 30k for mum)since December but my dad squanders his own in less than 2 weeks and be disturbing my mum for money.
Now I just sent them for the month of March but this time around, it is 50k for mum and dad 20k. I will continue reducing his own share and even eventually stop giving him if he continues to gamble.
As for my mum, she's the best woman in the world!(No flatteries). She's peaceful, calm, respectful, beautiful and most of all, lover of God. She's both a good mother to all of us and a good wife to my dad. I have been trying to find fault in my mum but cannot. My mum's kind are very rare. I say this with all sense of honesty!!
Also him to keep gambling if you want him to live long

abeg give my mum some likes jare!! lol.

I think I'm OCD because I loose it all. Like I give up on cleaning, I give up on arranging when the circumstances cannot just permit me to be me. For instance, during this covid19, I clean and clean,wash but when I traveled home, with everyone lackadaisical attitude, I just have up, no matter how I clean, I feel I'm wasting my time and have to be forcing myself, writing it down to remind myself. I don't know how to be average, it's either I'm doing it perfectly or zero. It makes me to wish not to stay with anyone, since most people are average, and I can't just cope,so I'm zero
Emm, OCD means obsessive compulsive disorder, it means you like to keep everything in order or properly arranged even when there's no need to, what you just described is the opposite of OCD, I could be wrong but sounds more like AS- Amotivational syndrome which is a lack of care for social activities or task.
Someone with OCD is a perfectionist and would be obsessed with keeping everything clean and intact but someone with AS might be the opposite, he/she might not care enough or at all to keep everything intact kinda like you not caring about cleaning.

I could be wrong, I'm no verified physiologist just a man trying to help. smiley

I read this somewhere else on nairaland, I found it very funny and looks for ways to do it to my kids. Like sitting in the parlour and calling them from the room to get me the remote that is four feet away from me. The first time I did it, I laughed an evil laugh within me. grin
