please face front, what use is a parent that won't allow the use of their property even when it's most necessary....does training me to be hardworking involving having to warm all the cars in the morning and den trek 30mins to the bustop to look for bus? una go just dey talk nonsense. people wey they drive deir papa motor get two heads

I understand you, I have a stupid uncle like that, I hate home so much because that's how he treats his children, and would be angry because my dad is more liberal with his car for my elder sibling. I imagine what his child is going through. The man is a wicked person. But be a good child, don't wish them death

Humanoid01:
Lol.

My mum is a specialist in sending people on errands. She can literally call you all the way from your room or anywhere a bit far from her to help her get something she could just stand up and get. Damn! It pisses the crap out of me.

lol your own is even better.
Just make mistake and pass where my mother is, that's when she would remember one errand to send, you're not even done with that one she will keep sending you on more. Also, she might want to do something, or better still in the process of doing it once she sees you, she will tell you to do it.

mothers would always be mothers and no matter what, they are priceless.

Sometimes, your parents would want you to make that little effort to call them. After all, you want them to solve your problem but you still want them to call you and know what the problem is. The same goes for me, if you beep me and I decide to call back just have it that I won't solve your problem.

Guy u cant understand, its me dat wore the shoe den and u knew how it pinched me.


wat if i say i was d one doin the calling 98% of tym?

U cant just understand, person wey never see money buy garri #30, na hin u want to call u back?

someone who rely most of the tym on friends to leech on is the one u want to call u back?

Someone who doesn't even ...mtchii, woooo oga, u cant understand, only the experienced can attest.

ModestGal:

No regret, it was best for us at that time but I can't raise my child in such a way
1. We were poor and fighting can lead to spending on wounds
2. My parents had too much on their mind to sort because we were poor and adding fights would add to their worries
3. My university rusticates people that fight(both of them regardless who is wrong or right,even of they slap/beat you first), and thus if she had not trained me that way, I would have fought and maybe got expelled, because people like to really look for my trouble,froy secondary schools, because I am gentle, an introvert, fearless (which means I solely take decisions), I don't bow to anyone, I don't play too much, I look very innocent as well and weak. Normally, people like me would bow for the bosses in class, or follow stupid decisions, hate on people/lecturers everyone hates, I'm not, I do my things how I feel is right, and I was always having the A's so they prey on me very well. there was a day a girl(in university) even held my cloths and I just ran away from her. And also there were men/ladies that ask me out/want to be friends, and when I don't, they lie and start quarreling with me. If not for my mums training, I would have killed nothing less than two people. I just walk away from them and continue my life.
Naturally, people like to prey/bully on weak ones, and I was weak because I was poor.
I won't train my children that way because, they won't even be bullied as I won't make them look weak, they won't attend schools with stupid razz idiots, they won't live in the type of house I lived while in the university so no one will quarrel with them. I will train them not to fight but will always support them if they are right, and even if they slap people in the university and they get rusticated, I will enroll them in another university.

I salute you. I think we have some things in common.

I can now see where you are coming from. I pray your children WILL NOT pass through that experience. A day will surely come when you will ask yourself "NA ME BE DIS"?

Babatunde40:
They did not save money or have properties. Absolutely nothing to inherit.

You have inherited their genes what more do you want, They were successful and the success is, you were made.

Yea, i think u understand the perspective of my story now.

it was hard den, i mean hard....but God was on my side.

tho all this suffering ended in/with ND, HND was bae, i didn't lack money dat much in my HND days, but ND was hmmmmm

Sadly, my parents are no more; though exhibited fallible traits as humans while they lived, but they were the best I could always yearn for. Continue to rest on beloved parents.

My mum is not prudent with money.

Such is life. At least you have story to tell now.

Hmm! my uneducated bricklayer father is very abusive and nonchalant right from our childhood till date .Its so painful to grow up in such an abusive family where all my siblings struggled individually for life . Our mother is helpless born again evangelist . I still regret coming to this world through such marriage . Happy for those who have happy family .

Kellie069:



My parents has 6 houses and we are 3boys. But lemme shock you, none of us wanna inherit anything���. As them take build, we self go build

Damn
Lemme drop my details

Righteousness89:


Leave those guys my Brother!

I Believe GOD ALMIGHTY will Save those of them He will save .

Those of them who have Condemned themselves to Hell will get their Rewards in due time..

It beats my imagination to see young men and women who the devil has possessed like that to the extent of Speaking anyhow against Your Creator without FEAR.
Devil is a Bastard indeed!

Jesus is a bastard without a father, he was born from a LovePeddler called Mary that was anally raped by the goat that calls itself Jehovah.

My father is chronic drunkard.
Too be honest, I don't have a father .
I HAVE A FINANCIAL PROVIDER, can't call that animal a father.
The man is intelligent based on he's job as a doctor but as a human being or a social person, he's no different from an illterate that refuses to mingle with he's co workers but with drunkards and illterates.
If he wants to go left, he will go left no matter how much of a bad idea that is or how badly you advice him.
Tufia, I must be a better father to my children.
My mom has her own bad traits but she's good.
Childhood wasn't easy even tho I was born with a silver spoon.

tonididdy:
Don't know much of my dad because I didn't leave with him. His greatest sacrifice was enrolling for WAEC when my sponsors suddenly turned down assisting me.

Mom on the other hand I blame for giving me out to her family to live with but I have never told her this because that didn't determine my future today. Me and mom have a weird relationship, maybe because I did not grow up with her too but over the years we've being together but I won't lie, I don't get that motherly connection. Never benefited anything from her directly. I love her from a distance but once am around her, I am easily irritated few times.

Weird I know... Never ever give your kids out most esp in their tender age to live with friends or family.

A family must stay together in sickness or health. My kids will grow with me until they are ready to move out.

Crackhaus and others

ModestGal:


Sorry for the long story

Hmm we understand ....at times we just need to let out pent up emotions....when parents are overly too nice it doesn't really make their children want to be like them...instead it could even lead to resentment and a need to the kids to have the mentality of putting thereself first before anyone

Jokerman:
By the time most of you realize your parents are no more, then you'd wish for some things to come back

Don't get emotional here, nobody hates his/her parents, people here have amplified their strength and weakness of parents.

Truth is this our Africa parenting method of imposition, fright is obselete, yes parents want the best for their kids but alot of parents have derailed the destinies of their kids, suffocate their confidence, etc, (most of the issues here are common stuff a parent and child can seat and discuss like it's done in civilised societies)

Parents ought to have a rapole with their children, understand their strength and weakness, forge a future path based on what they both agree is a sustainable path which the child has a deal for, such bond never knows qualms

Even God himself abolished the old testament approach to establish father child relationship

......guy is not every case you must show misguided wisdom ...at times instead of appearing wise you appear dumb an ignorant.

Prechgold1180:

buikem2:
Many here will be a worse version of whatever they write when they become parents

Its just that the way those parents of 60s,70s,80s see things now is quite different from how we see em. They still believe in doing things the 60s, 70s, 80s way not putting in mind that the world has revolved.

Come and watch African magic Epic with my mother
She will be narrating and asking questions at the same time.

If this is the only problem, then there is no problem at all

Yes I'm trying all my best but its not easy without helpers . The worse is the woman that came to my life desperately pretending to love me when I returned from the UK but left with my only daughter when she find out what she came for wasn't present .Rewriting the story almost cost me my life because I get both physical and spiritual attacks . I'm a bitter man .

XhosaNostra:
My mom was very particular about everything & I mean EVERYTHING. According to her, there's a "correct" & "incorrect" way of doing normal, everyday stuff. You're hanging laundry outside on the washing line, you better do it "right" or she'll make you redo it, even if it takes several retakes. Chopping onions? Whoa! Hold it right there! There's a wrong & right way of doing that too, the bits have to be even in size. Your chopped onions have to look "pretty" & cookbook standard She was extremely OCD. This particular trait of hers used to annoy me quite a bit growing up because I had places to be & people to see, so I had no time or patience for doing things perfectly. But I had to do things her way no matter how much it frustrated me or I would have never heard the end of it...how I "ALWAYS" do things "Half-ass" because I'm hurrying to go play...like I'm "getting paid to play". LOL! That was my mom, a drama queen of note.

I like OCDs, they are usually extremely neat and pay attention to everything which I had an OCD to mentor me

Citygal:

It's NOT easy living with one, trust me. They will make you do the most unthinkable things. At my house, we even polished taps until they sparkled!

Now I'm a little OCD myself because I was raised by someone like that. Mine is not as extreme though, but I cannot live with mess (I also like things done a certain way), it affects me emotionally & mentally.
