Mustiboy:We are on the same page and the same wavelength. Even till now I greet total strangers as long as they are older than I. The kids these days are nothing to write home about. There are some that will meet you on a pathway and expect you to give way for them. I even had to warn the ones in my neighborhood that they are not to look at me if they have no intention of greeting. Eyes front! It's quite shameful how this present generation of parents are bringing up their children. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

. It is not about social media alone. Some people tend to understand and weaponized staying and doing alone at a very tender age. In fact any attend to force such people to interact with their siblings or relatives will only result in calamity. You should pray not to have someone like me as a child if staying indoor or not talking to siblings is a sin to you. See, my people were like that but when they beat me tire, preached and did all sort, no one told them to leave me before they did. . 2 Likes |

Mustiboy: Why are they all smiling as if its always calm and lovey dovey? Why are the kids not throwing temper tantrums? Abeg its fake joor. Atleast a parent should be angry that one of the kids is misbehaving, ehhe, Thats what makes it a real family. See how organised the whole settings are. 1 Like |

okoroemeka: At what age were they given phones? Children don't deserve to have everything. Most of these problems come from trying to pamper children. Kids will not always be kids. They need rules before they regret it or become deficient adults. Giving children a better life doesn't mean tolerating things because they look good while doing them. Or because you didn't have the chance to and want them to enjoy these things. Some things are best left to them to choose when they are on their own. While they can't pay their bills and put a roof over their heads, they need accountability. 1 Like |

The dining table was the only place we could sit down to eat. Other family members seated at the table will correct you if you talk while eating or make unnecessary munching sound with your mouth. We were all helping each other to train one another in good manners. And yes, we had a small aquarium right at the centre of the table. Thank you for the reminder. We should strive to reenact this model of family bonding in our respective families. 5 Likes |

Ishilove: Common politeness has been lost through parents feeling their children owe no one anything. That is true, but the end results are disastrous in the community project called Nigeria. Modern children today are altogether way too disrespectful, and it is their parents that encourage and enforce the disrespect. How many parents teach their children to greet or how to be polite nowadays? They feel they want them to have a better life, and to them that means they lose societal norms and become aberrant, sometimes downright rude. This lack of greeting/respect is noticeable in a particular socioeconomic background. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Farki: I believe every parent raises their child to be success-oriented. However, the approach is different. While some parents teach their children diligence, others teach their children to cut corners. It is important to know the difference. 7 Likes |

Seems most nairalanders grew up in a rich home. Who dash us TV back then? The family fun was best during rainy seasons. My Dad would give my mom extra money to buy custard rubber bucket full of fresh ground nut. She and my elder sister would hide everything about the ground nut from us. Late in the evening, when we returned from playing football and Dad was back from work. Sisters and mum would dish the food on the table, most of us would eat excess. Not knowing that something bigger is coming. Those that know would eat little and pretend to be OKay, whereas they are reserving space for the hot groundnut coming. After the food, the groundnut will be poured in a big tray on top the table. Those of us that already ate to the brim will start changing face. How do we deal with this groundnut when we already ate full. That's how we will be eating and telling tales, discussing till some of us who were little then will fall asleep on top groundnut. Once you sleep, you done belle full. The rull is that, nothing is reserved for anyone unless the leftover. Chai good old days. Rest in peace DAD. I'm grown now but I still miss you. God please, bless my mum with long life and good health. She's my everything now. Provide for me so I can always take good care of her. FAMILY IS EVERYTHING. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Nice thread OP and u are very correct but its a new world system already. The best u can do is accept it but still try to keep the old family values alive.. The system keeps us all too busy overlooking the things that matters most. Conspiracy theorists say its part of the designs to destroy the importance of the family unit...Let's not go there now. A 100 years from now the situation will be worse off. Imagine some people don't even need another to start a family. They do it themselves all thanks to technological advancements. Single women having kids, same sex couples having kids and all that. I think its just part of the price we pay as we evolve. Old traditions are fast dying away whether we like it or not. Accept the new but keep the old close to ur heart. 8 Likes |

Op you raised a valid point, growing up i spent Quality time with my family, we we're respectful to ourselves bonding as you called it was done at the dinning table, and at night, 6 O'clock we had our dinner and went to the library to read till 8 bed time. Today such is missing in the family, i look at my brothers children and see the difference in generations, my only form of rebellion is not studying my fathers preferred course in school. 2 Likes |

Parents should be involved with their kids from time to time. Take interest in what they do and ask them questions where necessary. We are gradually losing our future generations to the world standards. May God help us 4 Likes |

savcy: You see the bolded is so true, I cringe a whole lot when I see the way lots of kids born from 2000 behave to the extent that when I see a well behaved teenager nowadays I am always in awe and yes we still have them around, on closer observation I realized their parents took extra effort not to allow those children drift away with the current reality and I salute them. Those of us that have little children, now is the time to instill those values, once they are 5,6,7 ( children these days learn fast) the character is already formed, all the morals you will instill between the early ages matter a lot and most parents get it wrong here. You teach a child basic things when young, You really want to start teaching a 10year old to knock before entering or Greet elders? Good luck. It is well oo 4 Likes |

[quote author=Mustiboy post=101975282] Up till now, I'll greet you as long as you're older. All in all bruv, you made quite valid points. I however feel that greeting should not be offered firsthand from the young to the old. Anyone can offer first egbon. 1 Like 1 Share |
