My mum is EXTREMELY STINGY and she doesn't wanna hear you say I need a particular amount, no matter how little the money is. If I don't ask her for anything for a long time, she's damn cool with it. Another thing is, she 'para' unnecessarily. Two of my neighbour said to me 'your mum is wicked' and to be sincere, they were right ! My mum and I are always at loggerheads, because she claims too much control over me and me no deh gree !. I can't wait to quit living under her roof. May God help me !!! My dad is late, he tried his best when he was alive. He was the breadwinner of the family and we were the ones that received his retirement benefits after he died. R.I.P Pa'

mom is a goal getter but unfortunately end up in the hand of a man that don't have drive & vibes


Momsi carry husband for head hence she can't take her decision.
dad don't have dream, detest hearing anything investment.
he's full of misplace priorities.
most times he abandoned the house responsibility on his wife

not he doesn't provide for the house but not at the detriment of sacrificing 50% of his 100% income and once there is nothing, he locked up and leave everyone to their fate
hey! are we having same pops? aside my dad died a good christian sha

for the period I was with them, it was always painful to fall in his hand. he had friends but abandoned all his good and well to do friends but rather move with church friends who are nothing to write home about


he carry religion for head but never for once behave or act like a Christian



I urge ladies to include this in their search for a husband, he must have dream and vibes for investment. a rich man with no idea of investment is a future poor man

My dad is a quiet man, but whenever he talks to me he uses to much instances and comparisons like"i didn't drop my curtains before leaving" the instances would be if i was at work or anywhere, is this how i'll leave my office and other crazy instances..


My mom on the other hand can talk (she dwell on a particular topic for to long) (yoruba calls it atenu moro)and it pisses me off

The only reason this thread was created and rushed to FP is to subtly discourage Chloroquine as a drug to treat COVID-19.

Thing is my dad was an army officer. When he's ready to flog you, he'd send you to his room and follow you then lock the door and remove the keys. Talking 80's....so a few of you get the picture.

I like your spirit..we walk in the same faith. I do exactly this.

Dad: Complains too much and fearful.

You have the best parents in the world, they want you to struggle and succeed and be able to say i did it on my own just like your father did and then theirs would be a bonus which would be insignificant at their demise because you are already great. I wish my brother had that mentality now he can barely do anything on his own but is catching up by Gods grace.

Stay blessed in wisdom and grace.

Wait till u get married and observe how she relates with ur wife, that's a different ball game.
Sermwell:
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!!


abeg give my mum some likes jare!! lol.

My parents are easily, I mean very easily influenced by public opinion.

Stranger in a public bus: "ah they said chloroquine cures and prevents coronavirus, I and my family finished one card each last week."

Well my mom has called me over 3 times today alone, telling me to make sure I buy chloroquine and keep enough at home and take every day. I rebuked her and have told her that if she kills herself because of what one stupid stranger told her, I will not shed a tear and that she should throw away all the cards of chloroquine she has already bought.

-My parents do the child comparison thing a-f*kn-lot

Family friend: "ah, my son only did OND and then did two certification courses and now he works in an oil company"

The day my dad's friend told him that, my dad started enforcing me to look for certification courses I'll do so that I'll end up like his friend's son. For 2 years while I was in school, he always used it to hound me to the point I stopped picking his calls and visiting home after a while.

Another friend: "ah, when my son finished school, he did his service and got a job immediately after, if you see the car he's driving now ehn"

The day my dad was told this, I effectively packed my things and left the house because I couldn't take the heat from my parents anymore. I didn't serve quite alright, all I've ever wanted was start and run my own business but my parents told me to my face that I don't know what I want or what is good for myself that people's children are working and driving cars, I'm there saying rubbish.

Well business may have been slow this year due to my dad's health condition and me blowing through my savings cos it, but my business has taken me to 7 countries (sight seeing sha cheesy)

I'll also add that they can't handle the truth (sort of). One time babe in school broke up with me, I was sad. My mum kept asking me what the problem was and eventually I told her that I was sad because a girl I liked hurt me and she just said I was stupid, this and that, like that's what they sent me there to do. Or the time I was duped by those taxi cab 419ers, I never wanted to tell them but somehow I did and boom, I was told I was stupid and senseless and that how would I just give someone money like that. I was a fresher then and that was when I vowed never to tell them things, we just exchange pleasantries and that's all.

There are many others but these have caused us to fight more than anything else.

What's yours?


We share the same parents.....

I dunno why they act like that...
Its annoying and frustrating.....
They don't even a t like they care about your opinion.....
They prefer to dictate and their opinions remain supreme and unquestionable.

Didn't live with my parents (mother is dead, don't no daddy) but my grandparents, d old pple try for me Sha and are still trying. Grandpa gat no issues but can be annoying when it comes church and prayer matters like he forces me to pray and go to church, while grandma really dealt with me when I was small, she beat me seriously, she can shout and quarrel about one issue for one week, but now she has given up on me and left to do what I want.

Parents today compare kids with their peers which is very wrong.. it can be demoralizing and can even initiate suicide.

After I finished school and things were hard, nobody dem no compare me with.. most especially my mother to the extent that sometimes I sit and think of what kind of mother she really is.. oh my friends son now works with Chevron you dey here you never still find your bearing... One of my friends son got a well paying job, got married and drives big Moto you dey here still dey struggle. She even compared me with Yahoo boys claiming they are "hustlers". It got to a stage I was like because of this woman I fit force myself go rob bank one day. Had to vacate the house for them and go look for somewhere else to live. I thank God today, all those years na history now.

As for my dad, that one na chief complainant. Nothing you go do wey fit impress am. He must surely find fault in it. I began to pity his health at a point because no day he no go complain. Petty things he could over look, he must complain. If he tell you make you carry blue pen come, he will still complain why you brought dark blue and not faint blue.. he's a type that will complain why the air he's breathing in ikotun market is not fresh like the one he breathe the last time he went to bar beach. (I'm just trying to give a clearer illustration of his character ) .. that's was how bad he was. Complain complain complain.. I dont even know if he's changed now coz it's been years I visited them at home. We only talk on phone and meet at parties and I send money to them once in a while.


We share the same pain.....
They can't stop comparison......

If we compare them....I don't think they'll stand a chance

I thank Almighty God for parents. No matter what, they are parents divinely positioned to guide us on this terrestrial ball called earth. When I look at my parents today I have a rethink of the future how my own children will relate with me when I am old. All you out there pointing fingers you better enjoy the relationship with your parents now. A time will come you will wish you had a parent around to talk to and refer to.

Right now when I remember those things my parent did that pissed me off. I just laugh it out and thank God. I (we all) never contributed a dime to my (our) upbringing whilst under their care. I give them kudos and right now I pray for my parents everyday to have good health and live long. I always tell them the best is still to come.

God bless our parents.

Stay blessed everybody and enjoy your 2weeks COVID-19 holidays...…….
