Not verbally. We visited the optics hospital. Spent quarter a million on tests. Surgery was too expensive so it was abandoned. Never verbally.

Ruin your life, how? We need to stop living this life of entitlement.

Okay, since you’ve moved on, have you been able to put your ruined life back on track?

We are all aware that the majority of Nigerian parents are authoritarian, and their behavior or ways can sometimes annoy the kids.

They don't give a damn about how the kids feel because they want things done their way. However, if you don't agree with your parents' behavior or ways of doing things, once you've reached adulthood, keep your distance and live your own life while remaining respectful to them.
how? Are you not entitled as their child?

why always the dad?
mothers and women are always good.

Yet,it's women that gives birth to these kids that continues the cycle of hate towards men.

hate-filled orientation on the kids is usually a woman's yardstick for measuring a man's perceived fvck up,and the innocent kids would grow with it thinking it's a way of life.


You have a serious problem, so children are blind not to know what is happening in their home? When they become adults they still do not know or are not aware that they have an absentee and terrible father? Yet you sit in your two by two and conclude that women give them hate filled orientation as if grown up adults cannot think for themselves, everything must be the mothers fault, exactly what deadbeats and potential deadbeats spew as excuses for their uselessness.

Barely talk to my dad about anything. We used to be very close when I was a kid until the day he gave me a scar nobody can miss when they see me. He flogged me thinking I was lying only to find out later I was telling the truth. He never apologized. I love my mom but I limit what I share with her cos na man I be


This scar dey mess with my self esteem badly even till today. I've had women tell me without the scar, aesthetically, I would be perfect.

Excellent.
My dad in particular would give you update on the whole LGA. Who knack person wife and who do juju. I look forward to his updates which comes mostly after their Sunday meetings. grin
LMAO.

My mom would go on and on about this and that, who did this, and who didn't do that, giving every detail. If she wants to share a conversation she had with someone over the phone, she typically begins by recounting the entire phone call experience. ''I called her, and it rang, but she didn't pick up. Then I called again later, and she picked up and said hi and I said hello.''

Then when I am tired and want to hang up or say my airtime is running out, she will then say, 'Ah, but I haven't even told you what I asked you to call for. Recharge and call me back.

No matter the hurt parents cause I hope children will try to forgive them. They obviously haven’t been parents in their life before, neither do they have the manual of parenting. They decided to be parents when they thought they were ready but really no one can fully be ready to be a parent because you no know how you go do wey na trauma you go cause to your kids.

In the end parents are human that had a particular upbringing and most of them would continue with that same upbringing method in addition with their personalities, so🤷🏽‍♀️ sha in conclusion, y’all that are hurt forgive em and at least get to know how they’re fairing.

It's super good with both. Used to resent my dad as a teenager because he always expected too much from me like I'm different from everyone but growing up as a man changed all that... I began to understand him better. I can call my dad and talk for hours on everything like he's my paddy man and his experience is vast so I still learn from him a lot. My mom is my angel. I can give my right hand to make her smile. I love my parents and I'm lucky to still have both sound and healthy

My dad is a really good dad but he's old now and we don't talk about much anymore.

My Mom has been an amazing Mom but she currently has breast cancer and it's killing me that I can't help her. We don't have much and it's almost like I just have to stand and watch her leave..I sometimes refuse to pick her call because of the sadness in her voice, it leaves me in wrecks for days. Everyday I keep hoping for a miracle because she doesn't deserve that. She deserves a chance to fight it at least.
