Streetmovement:Ok now will everyone stop with the bolded please .It's nauseating. My cousin who I have not seen for years ,we went for a family reunion early this year ,he pierced his both ears ,has a tattoo all this right under his father's roof. I jokingly told my aunt that God should bring money so her son can buy diamond earrings and remove the one he has on. Who wan rotten go rotten ,good upbringing or not, presence of a father or not. You can only do much when they are still Young ,it will come to a stage ,you only have to hope the upbringing sticks and doesn't get corroded by influence of environment and internet. 3 Likes 1 Share |

My sister I can feel what you are passing through but with God everything is possible even though it's too late, you made a mistake by trying to train two boys only you, because women over pamper their children must time, Dog don't eat eggs but our people said that any Dog train by a woman eats egg, now they have become big boys and have passed the age you can beat them and if I advise you to call police or area boys for them if come out your life is in danger, All you need to do now is look for a good home counselor, a pastor that can use the Word of God to talk sense to them with prayers, always pray for your children. Returning them to their father's house you and I knew that they can't stay with them, may God help you and your children |

Mummy you missed it at a stage in their life. Now you have to work 10x harder to straighten them. You should have remarried when they were younger. They miss a father figure in their lives. They are beyond your control. Only military discipline can correct them now. Will you be courageous enough to subject them to that? Think about it. Please leave prayer and church out of this. That time has passed. |

I feel for you. Honestly you caused it! You brought them up the wrong way! Yrubas will say "akebaje" meaning "over protection". When they were moving with bad friends, did you check or caution them? There behaviour is as a result of err influence....bad friends! It is my prayer that God will touch the hearts of these kids. Just go to God in prayers......they will come back but I pray they are still in one piece. They will come back after experiencing different life lessons but I hope it won't be too late! Anobody: |

Sorry about your experiences. Keep them away from healthy girls, until they are "retrained". These ones too will later join mouth to be bashing girls better than they are, projecting their uselessness; delusional that they are perfect. Deliquent irritating misogynist mannerless destructive gender. Society be raising so called perfect, rounded ladies for dirty, ill-bred, abusive, entitled feeling entities there, and vice versa. Supply ko, NPD ni. Nonsense. |

Anobody: This is Exactly What happen to a lot of Single Mothers Bringing up kids.... especially BOYS BOYs without a Father Figure in their Life.....Go Crazy in when they Become Teenagers... REASON: Women are too soft raising Kids.... They think Sparing the Rod OR Overlooking their wrong-doing is the Best Way to show Kids Love..... It does Not Work! Once they Start Mixing up with Street Kids....You are done for.... At some point, They Can even Slap the Mother.... Tough Love is the Way to handle BOYs But unfortunately, When a Man is Discipling his kids...the Women Make it look as if he is a Beast.....Your present Situation is What he is trying to Avoid. (so that the kids don't turn Uncontrollable) To me. The Solution is to put them under the Father's Family ( They need a Father Figure) Look for a Man in that Family to Help you Strictly Guild them aright and Don't Question or Quarrel with them when the Kids Report to You that they are being Disciplined |

Anobody: Hello mama. First, give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done thus far. Then know this, this is typical teenage behavior. Typical especially as you seem to have strong-willed children which isn't bad at all. My sisters and I were very rebellious. Very. Our mom did her best raising us and still we put her through all kinds the moment we were old enough. Today ALL of us are doing very well and very very decent adults. In fact whenever I remember what we put our mom through, I pray my kids don't do half of it! My mom never gave up on us. Yes, she was tempted to bundle us and dump us with our dad or a family member but she kept pushing. Don't stop. Don't give up on them. Keep reprimanding. Set your rules but don't make it too stringent. Set ultimatums and make sure you follow through. Don't back down. Help them get admission to a good University with low cult activities. Get them busy. Help them find a hobby that can take most of their time like sports, dance, swimming, etc. Talk to them. Let them know how much you desire for them to turn out well. Talk was what finally got to us. Talk not shout. Midnight talks, watching a movie talk. Get to know their friends. Let them know what is going on with you too. Treat your kids like adults because they are fast becoming one especially as they seem to be financially independent because they work. And I love that you make them work, it's fantastic training you're giving them. They will be rude! Yes, they will. They will break your rules! They will embarrass you! But soon, they will turn around. Don't give up on them. Your job is almost done. Some of the rules my mom set immediately we reached 18 was -curfew at 10pm and my mama no go open door even if you knock tire. -sleepover at your friend's with at least 48h notice. -contribute to household bills like electricity, trash, water etc. -let us invite friends over. Our friends can also sleep over but their parents have to call mine. -use makeup and have boyfriends and yes they get to visit us instead of us going to visit them. -go to school or go to work. You can't stay home idle. Not even during holidays. -if you get arrested for misdemeanor, don't call her. My husband was also a rebellious kid, his turn-around was when his auntie got him arrested and he spent a full day behind bars and saw what criminals really look like. Parenting isn't easy. I'm sorry you're doing it alone but you can still raise amazing men. This is just a phase. It will pass. Sending you plenty hugs. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

The replies let’s me know Nigerians don’t know how to raise children; just how to abuse and bully them. You have two young men on your hands, treat them accordingly. They are no longer boys. What they do with their hair and ears are none of your business. They need to get a job or learn a trade, and once the younger one is 18 years old, you have to send them packing. Let them go figure out life on their own. 1 Like |

You don't have to be disappointed, just youthful exuberance. They need a stronger hand to mould them these period eventhough it's a bit late for that, ship them off to their dads' they will come to their senses,. However, since they fend for themselves, it'll be a bit hard for you to control them Anobody: |

Nwaajasa: Jesus cannot do for us, what we should do for ourselves. When we over spiritualise what we should handle our own, we will continue to have problems. Do you think she's not praying enough for the boys? She's only concerned now because of how they have become. I have handled a situation similar to this so I know. Those boys need serious attention and that woman alone cannot help them. |

One golden advice I have for u is PRAY It is common with all kids of this age, is is the make or mar age, some will come out great others will come put battered... Just talk, gist,.let them feel confident to tell u things, then try to mold them, they will respect and obey u if u know more about them, bit if u know little or nothing about their doings, they will not obey or respect u... U can technically borrow money (not that u need it) from them, pay them back, this will allow u control their spending... Feed them well, but technically let them pay something for the feeding since they are earning, this way, they will look forward to coming home to eat, talk n play with u as their mummy, instead of dashing olosho babe that will cook indomie and rotten pussycat for them. Lastly let them see how hard u want a better life for them, let them see how u want them to succeed even in their current state, children this age stagger a lot and most likely will fall in the right path if u tangle with them well... |

Won't they cause nuisance and be a burden in her brothers house, hmm. This is a very hard situation, as the boys have already consolidated their way of life. They could cause harm in her brother house, or relatives house. If she had known she would have caught the symptoms earlier. Looks like they are entitled, ignorant fellows, who need hard lessons in life to become straightened, or she could consult a professional. However, i believe there may be a door, that she can recognize in her chidden and she can use that door to talk to them so they listen. she must try to understand how she can talk sense through their think skin. They can not become suddenly better over night, it will be a gradual process of appealing to their conscience, in the manner that works for them. However they need something to occupy their minds, and they are not in school, so its important, that they should be learning something, what do they want to do with their future, have you asked them that, or at least ask them, so they can start thinking gradually. If they can think outside sex hormones, it will help them. They probably have low self esteem, and do not comply to authority, low self esteem from not completing school, and they do not comply with authority, because they have not found value in their life. So if you can work on their skill and what they can do for living, maybe they will listen to you more often. But you have to build up a profile of your children and understand their strength and weaknesses and study how you can influence them through their strengths. ikennaoma: |

They are going through a phase...They are not totally lost...You are a mother and in as much as you want the best for them, they still need to understand themselves...Believe me when I say that allowing nature to take its cause, their attitude can continue like this in 10 years time except God intervenes earlier...So just take care of your health, pray for them and speak to them in their calm state of mind. Life has a way of humbling such kids...It might take time but it is possible...#Believe |
