FamilyRe: How Do You Engage A Toddler by Abrilla(op): 2:42pm On Sep 15, 2014
She does all you listed but within a very short time she is tired
Am not home all day and am not sure her nanny will do all I can do for her
Next thing she is calling names of cartoons she wants to watch
Sincerely watching cartoons keeps her occupied than others

blank: In as much as i want my kids to be reading calculus by Age 5, i also want them to enjoy their childhood and have fun. This is the only time they can have fun and not really have consequences. As long as they are developing okay, i haven no issues at all.

She can't read books for 24hrs, in the same vein she can't watch cartoons and ride her book for most of the day. Why not have a balanced calendar like they have in schools for kids their age. At 2yrs, they cannot be focused on something for more than an hr so you need to break it up and give her varieties.

Start with singing and playing instruments for like 20mins. Then give her a book to scribble. Give her some colouring books and pencils for another 20mins. Then read a story to her and ask her questions to ensure that she understood. Teach her phonics then help her with some arts and craft. When she is getting tired, let her sleep. Then she wakes up and rides her bike outside. Point out different things for her to learn. Like show her birds, sand, stones (make sure u stress the colours) etc. Then she can come in and watch educational cartoons for a bit before you give her legos to play with.

People don't understand that she can learn a lot thru unstructured play where her imagination runs wild and creativity is born. Reading books alone will ensure you are an employee but creative play makes you an inventor.

She has all you listed but prefers cartoons

Elantracey: Please don't lay a finger on that child she's way to young , there are ways to engage a little child instead of resulting to the hard way .



You can start by buying educational cartoons , charts and materials like puzzles and others instead of watching cartoon then try to keep things that can easily be destroyed away from her.
FamilyHow Do You Engage A Toddler by Abrilla(op): 1:51pm On Sep 15, 2014
My husband feels my daughter of 2yrs plus should study her books rather than watching cartoons or riding her bike
She is just like every normal child who destroys one or two stuffs within her reach
Like my ipad screen
My laptop keyboard,2 buttons re off
We had a very hot disagreement yesterday,and now we are not talking
I don't believe in flogging a child of her age
I feel with time she will get the message

Efe don't you understand some Nigerians and marriage
They believe marriage comes with its own blessings so you don't have to be a lil comfortable to get married
When they get there they will cross the bridge
Its well with some mindset

FamilyRe: To Marry A Man 10years Older by Abrilla(f): 5:04pm On Sep 07, 2014
Travel more and you go see
beeevan: 10 years isn't that bad but I prefer someone closer to my age, 5 years difference is perfect for me.


This women age faster than men talk doesn't hold water anymore, it's been long I saw a woman that looks older than her husband, some men even looks so old that you wonder how that pretty young thing accepted to marry them,oh..the pocket I guess.
FamilyRe: 20years Older And Have Been Once Married by Abrilla(f): 4:54pm On Sep 07, 2014
Qizick you know very well that the pressure you talked about doesn't exist
You have seen some material gains,hence the interest
Probably he is comfortable so you prefer to stick your arse there
So no young guy around
If anyone was persuading you to become a boko haram member,would you have opened a thread or better still run away
Well do your home work properly sha
FamilyRe: Family Dilemma: Housewife Or Working-wife? by Abrilla(f): 9:42pm On Aug 12, 2014
The housewives I have seen are women who just put to bed or still taking care of kids under 5years old
Later in life they get something doing,it must not be a 7am-7pm kind of job
Some women just feel if a women its not in a coporate wear and rushing to work by 6am then she is lazy(topic for another day)
While growing up I don't think I ever saw a full time house wife who depends on her hubby for even tampons
So when people talk of this housewive thing,I just feel It should be temporary

HealthRe: Is Ebola Really In Nigeria??? by Abrilla(f):
Your questions can only be answered when it hits your door and only then will you provide us with pictures for good documentation
santinoj: It's is said that Mr Sawyer escaped from Liberia into Togo, then into Nigeria. Have you heard of any ebola case in Togo? Did he not come in contact with anyone while there or are Togolese people immuned to Ebola?

FamilyRe: Paid Live-in Nannies Vs Professional Daycare, Which Is Better For Babies? by Abrilla(f): 11:41pm On Aug 05, 2014
Does your nanny come to work with her food or takes breakfast and lunch at your place?
aisha2: Live in? No, resume at 6.30 close at 6.30 when we are back from work, we dont need a live in, we can care for our child by ourselves when we get home.

Hiring? By recommendations, terms of employment clear, stipends clear and fair.


No feeding and accomodation for me because you no go stay in my house, I have a Nanny Cam to ensure everything goes on well.

Friends and visitors during working hours? No, do that on your own time when you close.

Boyfriend? Her life, her choices, she is an employee not a slave, same way I wouldnt work somewhere that regulates when I can marry or have babies.


Age bracket? 18 years and above or 16 years if she is done with school. Nothing less than that

FamilyRe: Women: Stop Complaining! by Abrilla(f): 8:43am On Jul 02, 2014
I love you for this
If a woman feels she cant do all the house chores alone then get a domestic help and close out that angle
If your husband closes by 5:30 and you live in lagos ,maybe office is far from work
Then he gets home everyday by 9pm so he should do some chores? While the woman was home all day gossiping from one place to another
Make una small small oh

cococandy: Left for me o. If a guy is working and making all the money the family needs,then it is only fair that the wife faces the home keeping squarely. Making sure that the home is always cozy,warm,clean and beautiful. With delicious aromas emanating from the kitchen wink wink
The kids well fed and giggling before daddy comes back.


What I don't understand is the case of men who's wives work as much as they do making a fuss about house keeping.
Some their wives even work more than they do and make more than they do. Yet it is beneath them to prepare dinner and set the table before darling wife comes back from a very stressful day at work. She still has to rush into the kitchen to 'serve' him. But he was home all day doing phantom business while the woman is working her buttt off being husband and wife at the same time.
