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.
You have just vented your own personal anger towards men.

A lot of kids out there with daddy-issues,but it's worse on a girl child.

Mostly, the weaker-sex,emotion and victim games being played by most women,technically manipulates the kids to their own side and men the opposite.

Sometimes as a father, you need to put your big ego aside and be a father to your children by spending some time with them and doing the things they love, even if it means going down to their level.

This is why most African kids would be financially supporting their mothers and not their fathers when they grow older... It's not the mother's fault, but it's the man's fault for always not making time for his kids... Some kids are even afraid of their own fathers.

And by the time the fathers start thinking of making some time for their children, it'll be too late because the children would now be adults and having their own lives to live.
At this point,I agree with you totally.

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.


They are all functioning on the same OS. You see that recharge and call me back? My parents use all their data to watch fake news on FaceBook.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have a healthy relationship with my mum, I love her so much, even though she doesn't have much, but she sacrifices alot for me. She single handedly sees my through my university hence I owe her so much.

Though I am not going to lie , as good as my mum is to me, she can be so annoying at times with her toxic words.

For my dad, he doesn't care and I in the other hand don't care about him. Man is evil in all standard.

When you marry you will understand some things. He is not evil actually na marriage condition make am evil. I don't rapour with my dad but I value him more than mum irrespective of anything.

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.
Which scar is that? The cane affect part of your eyes or what?

Sorry for that bro.

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.

This is pathetic, may God heal her bro!

Really difficult trying to cope with people who keep giving you reasons to stay away from them with their actions and words.

Re: How's Your Relationship With Your Parent by NevetsIbot(m): 1:28am On Sep 23, 2023
My Father.. Had a very rocky relationship with him till I was about 19yrs when I started to bridge the gap between us on purpose.

He only provided. He wasn’t available for anything more than providing to the kids. He’s close to being a friend now that I’m all grown up. We talk about cars to money and some other male topics whenever we see. Understandably, he spent all his money on the family from his meager salary… every single dime.. He wouldn’t buy clothes for himself for years.

I watched him beg at our junction as a kid when his salary had not come and the family was hungry. Till date, he doesn’t know I witnessed that. I buy him gifts anytime I get the chance to. He deserves it.

You’d admire and love him this minute , but you’d feel like breaking his car window in the next minute. Lol

My mom…Woman is an angel to me. Supported my art from day one and always encouraged me. Is always ready to fly to Jupiter for me. Her car was always available to me even if I needed it for a months journey. Her resources were always at my disposal and would always brag about me anywhere.

She’s gets a portion of my monthly profits steady!

She is toxic too when she wants to be sha. And can be very annoying and stubborn too.

All in all.. My dad instilled the discipline, he was the left hand to beat a child and mum was the right hand to draw the child close after. Save for a few little changes, I’d love to grow under them all over again in another life.

Excellent.
When I was younger, I didn't understand a lot of their actions. Now I am older, it makes me appreciate how much they sacrificed to feed us and pay our fees. I seriously wonder how our parents did it.

I don't shy away from their calls anymore.
Even if I don't pick immediately, I must call back.

It makes them very happy. 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
