Walahi e no easy. Sometimes, I just sit and close my eyes and wish things to just fall in place but hell no, things are getting hotter by the day. Thank ASUU are on strike, my younger brother and our last born are in 500L and 100L respectively, I don't know where the money ll come out to settle their school fees, accommodation and pocket money. The other one is about to finish his NCE, no money for his project. The other just got admitted into a college of education and I managed to settle him to start off with my house rent, now the landlord is on my neck. My wife ll be due in 3 months, I have not buy anything for the baby yet.
My dad died 17 years ago, my mom was retired compulsory without a single dim since 2017 and we are 7

Please squeeze 1million in my hand because it’s not easy cry…being a first child without a father is harrddd!

The good part is that it pushes you to do more, most first child turn out to be successful.

Hmmm, this what I try to explain to people when you bring in children you can not take care of. Your Dad does not have an estate yet continue giving birth to multitude. He is no more now, you guys are bearing the brunt. The funny part is that some of your siblings will have small change tomorrow and continue in that circle. Africans circulate poverty not wealth, atleast we are very good at that. Just do your best and leave the rest, because if you die, they will continue their life.

It can be annoying sometimes you know, I could remember her calling to ask if I need money to buy Christmas wears one xmas period like that, omo na so I weak cos she was on loud speaker that day. My friends couldn't stop laughing at me.
I asked her if she realized how old I am and that I'm capable of taking care of myself, she said she knows but that doesn't reduce the fact that I'm still her baby no matter how old I get, na so I kuku keep kwayet and let her do her wish.

I warned my mom when she gave birth to the fifth child to stop birthing as we many considering their source of income, she responded by saying by God grace they are capable of taking care of us. Sometimes, I don't pity her and most times she do annoyed me.
I always tell them that, the person who fertilize the egg is no more and they are living talk more of me, if I die today they ll become what God wants them. So no need of killing myself.
I only planned of getting 2 children but my wife is insist on 4 kids, I told her if she's not learning on what am passing through, then she is insensitive.

You have to sit your wife and educate her better on giving birth to children you won't be able to give them the best. Growing up I was so annoyed with my father for giving birth to many when he couldn't take good care of us. Thank God for today. I learnt early that my siblings are not entitled to give me anything except they wish to give me. And today I am better for it. Our parents failed in that regard, it is now left for us to correct their mistake else you will continue in their poverty line and your children will continue from there.

Let me shock you, when I became a youth and I visited my Mom. She asked me that who is washing my clothes. She asked if I could be bringing them for her to be washing for me, so it won't disturb my work. I swear I don't know where to start laughing from. In my mind this woman, still think I am a baby..funny mothers

When some parents choose not to birth the number of children they can comfortably cater for, they transfer their responsibilities to the eldest child. angry

You should talk to your wife and narrate your experiences, and the reasons you both should stop at two children. If she insists on four children, undergo vasectomy after the second child. Let's see where the remaining two will come from.
