How Parents Fails As Leaders by lavylilly: 7:29pm On Jan 06, 2023 |
I almost failed as a “leader” today, this is an important lesson I learnt.Please read through. From as long as my little niece started coming over for holidays, she shares the bed with me, she absolutely won’t sleep elsewhere. This is generally not an issue, she used to have diapers on when younger and now, I carry her to pee at least 2ce during the night. I didn’t today. I woke up to pray and coming back to lay down, I slept on wetness. Well, maybe it’s my hand, yunno. Then I realized, it’s not my hand oo, it’s proper wetness �. Immediately I stood up and asked, it was more of a rhetorical, I didn’t think she was awake but then she answered. I asked “ my love, did you pee?”. Instantly, I heard “No”. I looked at her, she was suddenly naked�. She wasn’t naked a few minutes ago so obviously she knew she peed and the little lady lied. I was upset, “so why are you naked?”. No response. She knew and instead of telling me and saving my side of the bed, she decided to spread the love. I stood up and went to take a shower. I was honestly upset. I thought of giving her a piece of my mind but the anger was unjustified so coming out of the bathroom, I just sat down and guess what, this little lady had gone back to sleep. The audacity for me. No remorse, No sorry. 5 year olds are sus these days.� I thought, “rubbish girl” and I heard “rubbish Nike”. Wait, what did I do? I am the victim here then my mind answered, “did you wake her up?” Nope “Did you pee yourself”.. Twice actually.but you didn’t wake her up and expected otherwise. Joker. It dawned on me, the mistake was mine. Yes, she performed the act but the error was mine and in the same vein, this is what happens with leadership and managers too. When you fail to orientate your team, your junior colleagues, staff, etc, but you get upset when things go wrong, you’re to blame for their inefficiency. The responsibility to provide guidance, support, direction, training, etc falls directly on a manager, leader, superior in any situation and the absence of that is a major lack on the part of the leader. It’s like a football team without a coach but everyone is expecting the highest form of output. Joke. If you’re in any leadership/ managerial position, ensure you’ve done your due diligence to the highest form before you point fingers. It’s impractical not to have aided and supported the team but expect magical delivery. 70 Likes 10 Shares |

Re: How Parents Fails As Leaders by whippersnapper(m): 1:56pm On Jan 29, 2023 |
it's a generational thingy. there are families who have never produced a thief,or smoker. The try to inculcate that trait in their kids. imagine you coming from that family you wouldn't want to marry from a family who doesn't frown at abortion, fraud, prostitution. I know of a certain tribe that their male are either trafficking cocaine or marijuana in Malaysia or india. and their women eating feaces in Dubai NB: did not mention name 10 Likes 1 Share |

Why the blame? Even if you wake her for all I care If the parents did not compliment She will still remains the same This same scenarios similar to teacher While the teachers do all they can If the parents did not compliment All efforts will be a waste. 1 Like |

You're not a Nigerian. Nigerians don't accept responsibility. We blame everything and everyone else. And when there's nothing or no one left to blame, we blame the devil! 19 Likes 7 Shares |

This year 2023, make we try to embrace reality. Nigeria as an economy is not functioning good at all and the politicians are all very busy with stealing and embezzling the few resources available. The Common population is suffering so parents now decide to use their children as investments. The result is high number of olosho and thiefs that make up 99% of Nigeria population today! |

Nice write-up, OP. If we don't give our best, we should not expect the best. The family front has failed largely, hence the societal front is in shambles. Because, if families preach and teach love, whence comes the hate and evil we see everywhere? We just have to do better. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The rot in our society today can be traced to the basic building block which is the family and hate to say this, we will be having a full blown endemic of irresponsible family in the coming years, values have been eroded and nonsense is now the new norm. You don't know what you have if you're opportune to pass through the old school style of parenting. 6 Likes 1 Share |

My boy is 2 year old and we have taught him to wake us up whenever he wants to pee in the middle of the night, and he does that diligently. During the day he goes to the bathroom and pee for himself. Your niece being 5 year old should be able to wake up and pee by herself, or at least wake you up that she wants to pee. Truly, it might be failure of leadership. 4 Likes |

I can relate to this situation, I was upset with my baby of about 2 year's for collecting biscuits from someone despite we buying for him, I almost flogged him, but I asked myself have I thought him not to collect anything from stranger's before, though he apologised, but I cautioned myself and saw the need to always teach him first before expecting compliance. 4 Likes |
