Its so sad that a grown ass man wants to be taken care off by his old father. He should go and hustle of not he would remain redundant for life not being useful to himself or the family. If he can't fend for himself then let him be abeg.

Naira landers, kindly advise me on what to do.

l am over 60 years old, a widower. By the grace of God, l was blessed with three children of which two are graduates with good grades from reputable universities here in Nigeria, one is still undergraduate before the departure of my late wife some years back.

As a retired man with meager money, I decided to manage a little business which barely gives me much money. One of these my children, a professional, though not teacher, is currently residing with me doing teaching job in different places as part time, pending when he would get a much better job.

We are living in my personal house. l would single handedly pay electricity bills, lawnman, etc. My son would not want to help in any way, not even with pure water of #10 claiming that he is with his father.

Efforts to convince him to assist me is not yielding positive result, instead he would pick quarrels with me. His senior sister has married, while the junior brother is still in the school as dependant, what sort of counseling do you think he needs to change.

I am afraid even if this boy owns shop rite in future, he would not help either.

Sir,
Sit him down and define the terms of staying under your roof;

1. I suggest you let him stay with you to get his footing on means of livelihood, but
2. He must contribute either by taking care of his own needs apart from accommodation which you are offering free or
3. In addition to 2 above he should also provide you a benefit of him staying rent free by taking care of a certain expense in the house especially a shared bill such as electricity bill, TV subscription, refuse disposal, water etc


Never let him remain a full burden on you - he will not change (from experience). You need to force (wean him) from depending on you same way his mother (of blessed memory) had to cut him off suckling (wean him) her breasts against his wish.

All the best papa!

Graduate at 29 yet still depending on you when he ought to be giving angry

He just want to be irresponsible or couldn't think well.

Allowing him to stay in your house and enjoying free things is doing him more harm, he'll be comfortable with those jobs that earns him paltry amount.


EJECT HIM IMMEDIATELY, YOU'RE DOING HIM GOOD.

He should go out and face the World, that's how you will reap the fruits of your labour

I don't even know what to say but to start with. How was he raised?
I mean,was he having everything at his will when growing up?


' Bend the tree when it is young

Key questions. At 29.... graduate ... no good jobs ... economy bad... doesn't matter. A guy at that age should be looking to be on his own... even if for privacy sake. Can't afford it?.... nothing wrong in remaining at home.... but not contribute? ... period?

Does he have a gf?.... if no ...hmmm.... let me say no more.

My advice... complain to his friends ... if he has straight friends... let them know he doesn't contribute. They will know how to straighten him out.

Auntie oooohhhhh grin grin grin

I swear we re same thing, i swear.

If not that my parent and people around have bn saying i want to be irresponsible walahi i have said i dont want to give birth more than once, even at that sef it wont be more than two.

Aunty i love mysef abeg, i come this life alone and i have bn suffering since alone, and i dont want to continue the suffering cus if one child/children.

Anu money i gather is to take care of my sef and the two children(i can still manage to take care of two children) grin

Even if i become billionaire tomorrow, the real goal is to take care of mysef biko. Its my life and not the children life. My own is to take responsibility on them til dey become adult and can stand on their own firmly.
Then don't have kids if you care about yourself this much. This is narcissism. Caring about yourself only. Please your type are not meant to be parents please! We don't want to be reading how a child feels neglected by his selfish parents in 2042 abeg I take God beg you. Make money and chop alone, not everyone must be parents. Nor be by force. Eat alone and die alone in peace undecided

Why will I be pleading with my offspring because of bond? Unto sey I carried him for 9 months in my womb? I don't have it in me o!

Las las, is he Jesus Christ? Can any child hang on a tree and die for me like Christ did? Why will I come and be killing myself on top of their matter?

They will not get me into heaven when this life is over and one of my goals is to make heaven. Neither will I be asked to give an account of my child's life, I will be asked to give an account of my own life.
Madam go to the convent and become a reverend sister because you do lack attributes of motherhood. We don't want your daughter coming here in 20 years time to complain about you.

Most of you "I don't care" parents think you won't be judged based on how you raised your kids or how they turn out. If you train them shabbily and they end up becoming irresponsible and sinful. You think God won't question you abi as you were their guardian here. You think you will smile to heaven and your children will be cast into hell and you will be singing hymns in heaven? undecided deceive yourself very well. If you don't do your job well you are also going to hell with them undecided

I tired ooo, in my family for example, mother or father don't depend on my kids despite that everyone was leaving Large thought we send they money, but not computry to them, the parent would rather send money for u to solve any financial problem, thought it's good to eat from the seed u sow, but we should not too much depend on that, so that to avoid hatred for the children.

See wetin bad economy cause

You can't repay your father for raising you, you are still taking from him even at retirement

That's a crime


Use the method my mum used on us..

Note ; she is a retired Federal Government worker with my dad and they both earn good money from pension and house rent

Call all your children to have a serious conversation early in the morning...

Mandate each and everyone of them to take care of a certain bill or give you a certain amount every month so as to receive your true blessing while you're still alive

Start with little commitments for them

*filling of cooking gas
*service and fueling of Generators
*buying of pure water bags and water dispenser refill
*even your kid in school can afford to buy bread or live chcken every time he comes home if you mandate him to do so
*3k monthly subscription of internet or DSTV




.

This advise here are solely meant for parents who catered for their children and gave them a meaningful life. Any parents who doesn't catered and give their children a meaningful life deserves nothing and they will never have peace of mind In life.....

Sharap.

My experience in my own household is that all 5 of us left home, the very day we graduated.

In fact, in my case, I had already left home from when I had my IT.

When I completed NYSC, I came back to live with a a friend who accommodated 7 of us.

We all ended up leaving from his home to get our respective jobs, and those who went abroad, launched out from there.

Not a single person from my nuclear family went into fraud.

None or the boys with whom we all shared a home went into fraud and we all ended up well and independent, spread across Nigeria and indeed the world.
