Family / Re: I'm Worried About My Son's Behaviour. Is He Normal? by GoldPencil: 5:45am On Aug 21, 2019
tie your desired actions from him to his desired goals.(positive reinforcement) you've already tried negative reinforcement (beating). fewer forces greater in a human than self interest or greed. so dont shout too much. we all tried to carry first when promised a new video game. but you have to do it well. dont tell him or try to bribe or negotiate with the child, let him come to the conclusion on his own that if he does A, then b will happen. then self interest will kick in. kind of like how men think its game that made them get the girl whereas she is the one that wanted him since and deliberately positions herself to be captured.

leave him alone. go on your knees and thank your God.you have a genius IQ kid on your hands. I know because he sounds just like me at that age. it is your role at that age to pick up after him. let his mind run free and be unrestricted. will be very creative. I never had time for all those clean up behaviours. today I dont work nearly as hard as the regimented lifestyle type of kids to earn a living. I have my unrestricted, unencumbered mind to thank for this. Just help him, he will grow into those behaviours eventually (especially if he sees it's necessary to get what he wants like a girl or something). I see no problem here at all.
jess2019:
My son will be 9 in October but his behaviour bothers me so much. He acts like a day dreamer. He has turned me into a shouting and miserable mum as I had to beat him after I've exhausted other punishment options. To make this short, I'm going to summarise his behaviour.

He still cannot get himself ready for school in the morning. Either he doesnt cream his body or forgets to comb his hair or doesnt brush his teeth. He forgets to brush his teeth almost everyday. This made me to make a list of step by step sticker. I sticked this on their bathroom mirror and on his bedroom wall. Yet I have to keep reminding him everyday. For example, last week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday he forgot to brush his teeth and hair. I have to constantly be reminding him every morning. He is the only one that brushes teeth after getting ready. I trained them to brush teeth first before shower but he keeps forgetting.

I have to remind him to do his homework, and put it back in his school bag to return to school on Mondays. The book will still not make it to the school even after constant reminder. We've lost countless of lunch bags. One ended up on school roof. If you give him any form to submit back to his teacher. He will forget in his bag so I now give it to his sister to give to his teacher.

He removes his clothes, shoes, pants, belts etc and leave them on the floor, I bought two laundry baskets for him. One in his room, another in their bathroom, yet all his belongings end up on the floor that you can hardly find a space to put a foot. I dont expect him to be perfect but atleast to try so that his 70% clothes make it to the basket or shoes to their racks. He also has a book shelf and desk yet they also end up on the floor.

He plays so much that sometimes he leaves shops with items in his hands. So I have to always watch out for him. Living in a western country where black boys are stereotyped I fear for him. He can stare at the ceiling for hrs when getting ready for school or spend long time in the shower yet not using soap on his body. This usually makes us late unless I step in to help or keep shouting.

If you ask him to do any house chores, he will not do it instead waiting for us to forget so he can get away with it. When grounded not to watch TV, he will still do it once he knows am inside my room or busy with a baby.

Yesterday we revised all his lesson assignments (5 work books). I specifically asked him to put them in his lesson bag. I pointed at the bag. Now I drop him at the lesson only for him to say oh I think I came with old lesson books. I dont know how he ended up with old books in his bag. It could be he planned it as a way to avoid the lesson. If not I wonder how he will remember it himself as soon as I drop him and his sister as this is unlike him.

I've taken him to a doctor incase there is any diagnosis so I can give him all the help he needs but they said it's just his behaviour because according to the doctor he is smart academically. He is 18months ahead of his year level. So they ruled ADHD out.

bros if you have money to even reason this car, that means investing isn't even an issue again. you already know your grandchildren will never be poor before you go buy this one. So at that level no need of "investing wisely" again. Na either you go buy am or you buy yachts or you set fire to the money. grin Products like this are built for those who actually cannot finish their money even if they give it away sensibly.

login to Amazon again. when the verification thing comes up, go to the email you used to open the kdp account and check. you'll see a code made up of 6 numbers in your inbox or spam. copy and paste the code back where its required within 10 minutes of receiving the mail. if it doesn't work, sign out of the kdp account and repeat the process again.

listen to her. the game is the game. dont hate it. just play it well.
YelloweWest:

As I was reading, i said to myself this was exactly me a few years ago. Not anymore...

Dear here's what's happening: you described your husband as a loving man right?
1. He has friends or family that are advising him to go hard on you or else you will take him for a ride. Not that you've done anything wrong o, it's just a method of creating the idea in your head that your husband has options and if u mess up you're out

2. He is cheating.... and the guys he hangs around with advices him to cheat. I'm sorry to break this to u but like 95%Of Nigerian men your husband has gone outside, therefore he is playing the best way to defend is attack! It's a mind game. All our men do it.
At the point to which he is ignoring you, if u catch him red handed with another woman, you'll be the one to beg him to return to u... I've been married 15years, I know what I'm talking about.

Solution: the good old fashion way, ignore him. Yes it's old fashion but it works!
Never let his silent treatment get to you!
Never let him see you cry or sad. You've been begging and it's not working, time to change tactics! Even if u roll on the floor crying and begging, nothing will change.
Cook but don't serve him unless he asks. If he complains just say I thought u came back with food...
Focus on yourself and make money!!!
Hangout with your friends (girls night out)
Let him see you chatting and smiling... ( This one is a killer o. Pls be careful)
Lock your phone! Don't touch his and let him not touch yours too...
Play music all the time when he is home with an ear piece.
Register at a gym! Are you in ph? I for recommend where you'll have so much fun eh! Depression will never know u.
But NEVER cheat unless you've walked out of the marriage which I don't advise.
Do all these and he'll come around begging like a dog. Trust me!
There's a saying that the one sure way to get your man back is to give him an overdose of his mistress...

Hope this helps u the way it helped me cuz my husband used to give me silent treatment like this too.

Above all Talk to God about it... the prayer changes things.

goodgirl2409:
My husband has really changed. He is so unemotional and revengeful.
I will cook for him severally and he won’t eat. I will serve him food and he won’t eat. I will ask him what I have done and he won’t respond. Every time he gives me the silent treatment.

I feel so pained because I expected more from this marriage but barely 1 year after, he doesn’t seem to love me anymore. Sometimes 1 month will pass, no sex. He would go out and won’t bother to tell me where he is going.



He would come back very late and would just ignore me like I don’t exist.
Although he drops money for me to run the house and communicates strictly with me, it make no sense to me.
I am tired. Is this how marriage is? Is this how men are or am I just suffering?

I don’t have anyone to beg to talk to him,and I was told reporting him to any of his family members is not good. things are getting worse everyday. People who have married for many years and are succeeding please help me. What am I not doing right?

UPDATE.
I want to add that it is not sexual incompatibility.
When he is in his happy mood, I would even be tired of his endless gist. S-x will be very great. He is kind and caring. Such a wonderful man. In fact an angel. He would even wash my underwear’s and clothes.

But when his mood start which is his mood most of the time, he won’t talk to you, he won’t eat. I will finish cooking, he will go outside and buy another food and come and cook. He won’t come back on time. I will ask him what is it, he would not respond. He always feels everything I do to annoy him, i do it on purpose. I am a peace loving person. Everyone around that knows the story
always say that he has a problem.

And here it is ladies and gents. We are witnessing the birth of a new savage if things go properly. Welcome brother. Your first mistake was putting all your eggs in one basket. One girl is too close to 0 girls. So always have backup, because she definitely does. It's even easier for her than you. All she has to do is take her bath (or not) and walk outside.

2nd. Believe this mantra firmly "Depression is not real. It doesn't exist" Someone your age somewhere has it worse. dem no die. Focus on your body and your pocket and she'll be a silly memory in 4 months. Hit the gym (even cement gym) and learn an online business. You will thank me.
Shadbay:
I've been in extreme emotional pains for the past few months. I don't even know where to start to narrate my ordeal. I do not want this experience to damage me emotionally and psychologically, that's why I'm seeking help. Please pardon the length and blunders.

Earlier this year, just two weeks after my birthday, my ex-gf (gf of almost 7 years) broke up with me. I had just visited her and left two days prior to the breakup.
I went through the most challenging period of my life because I just suffered some job and graduate school rejections that period. The breakup worsened my situation and pushed me into a depression. I have never felt defeated in life till that point. She blocked me on all mediums of communication. It was too extreme. I went from 91kg to 85 kg in less than 3 weeks.

I visited her to understand the whole situation cos her behaviour was too extreme and I got a toxic dosage of embarrassments. She said she was done with me. She said a lot of hurtful things to me. The height of the embarrassments was calling her new boyfriend (barely 3 weeks after breaking up with me) right in front of me and telling him she doesn't know what I'm doing in her place. She even called some of her friends to inform them of my presence. They all sounded scared and concerned for her as if I was some kind of predator. They told her to leave her place at once and come to their place. All these calls were on speaker! This is someone I invested all these years and emotions for. I went through hell that period cos I was dealing with some other personal tribulations.

I can't imagine treating her or anybody else the way she treated me. I NEVER cheated on her, NOT ONCE or by chance! I have walked away from compromising situation countless times because I placed her so high. I had so much respect for her. She now went on to slander my name, accusing me of cheating!!! When I asked who was feeding her all those lies, she said her friends told her. How? Did I date you or your friends? It still boggles my mind to think she'll believe them and go about spreading those ugly rumours about me.

The straw that broke the camels back was when a friend of mine told me that she said she's grateful to God she didn't contract any infection/disease from me! I couldn't believe my ears. I broke down. This didn't just break my heart, it shattered my spirit. This is someone I imagined spending the rest of my life with. My whole family (even extended) accepted her as one of us.

I had to accept that things were beyond salvaging because any attempt from me to fix things kept doing the opposite. The minute it involved my sisters I had to accept defeat.

I never harmed her or attempt to lay a finger on her. I might not be perfect but I gave it my all. The situation is far worse than I described it here, it's even painful remembering them. I loved her to a fault.

I got a text from her about a month ago after I refused to answer her calls because I had just lost a loved one. She said she's getting married and hopes I find peace as she has found hers. I stared at those words speechless. The worst set of people one could ever encounter are those that hurt you, know that they hurt you and still turn around to play victim accusing you of hurting them. If there's anything I'm proud of is my level of self-control. I know few of my friends who made fun of me being extremely loyal to one girl, warning me severally that I'm wasting my time and good looks, that my youth is passing me by. At least I have a clean conscience that I never betrayed her trust. I never went about telling other people our business. Now I understand why they say good guys always finish last.


Women don't deserve loyalty, forget all their cliche that men are not faithful and honest. I went the faithful, loyal path what did I get in return? Venom! I feel repulsed when I hear women say "Men are dogs", "Men always cheat".

I just don't want this experience to turn me into something I'm not or make me an embittered soul. I'm traumatized beyond words. This was my first and only relationship and I gave it everything. I'm in my mid-twenties and I don't think I can ever love genuinely again. I need mature advice on how to come out of this ordeal a better person. I don't want to transfer any aggressions or micro-aggressions on anybody because of this experience. Please mature advice needed. Thank you.

*applause* first you fear 200k a month. then you make that regularly, then you make a million and nothing seems impossible again. in fact the road to million is the hardest part. followed by being able to maintain that millionaire path. It all starts with self belief, then skill acquisition, then skill implementation, then self promotion and finally ends with cashing out.
Jerie:


Bro, in April when I made 1.5 from a single transaction, my first time of collecting a bulk payment of 1M and above in my account. No office, no much money on me, little packaging, etc. I was happy and sad. Happy that I got my first payment of above 1M, sad that I wasted half a decade of my life serving for pittance. Bro, I suffered in my former office. Occupational hazards, no insurance.

However, I just took it that the years spent was for my education and most importantly appreciation of the value for money. If I got it easy and early, I may not have appreciated it and would have wasted it.

It's not about the money but the mental relief that I'm not useless, that I have what people are willing to pay millions for and that my sweat can pay me well.

My seniors are still in my former office earning 90 to 120k with 9 to 12years on the job. No HMO, no Pension. I can't tell them anything. They all complain but don't have the mind to leave. Some have borrowed money which they pay from their salaries.

Leaving is the hardest thing and you can't leave unless your mind first leaves that place.

things like this are always great to read. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure you now wonder daily how you were going about life like a blind robot for so long. Reprogramming of the mind usually leads to opening of eye, but people will insult you if you say this. So you just enjoy in silence. congrats.
Jerie:
When this thread was opened, I read through it, didn't have a dime. I had been working in a place in Lagos for 5 years, earning 60k per month and never made a single million for myself. After reading, I decided to leave my job in December 2018 and launch out on my own. If I perish, so be it. I called up those who knew me and told them I was on my own.

The turnaround was phenomenal. I made my former annual salary in 2 months. Between January and July 1, I made over 4.5M. Fixed up lots of things with 1.5 and put 2.5 in various investments. Presently out of cash but I'm not broke. More business would definitely come.

if you want a girl, all you have to do is be the highest value/status male on her radar currently and pay her no mind. Humans are naturally greedy and want what they cant have, because scarcity creates value. a Lamborghini is not begging to be sold, rather people beg to buy it. So demonstrate high value by not bothering with asking out. get money, Bleep your targets friend and remain detached. your target will chase you instead. then you'll get bored. it's not abt looks, though that's important. learn life chess
