Op, are you the husband?

but why do they do that? Then, I see football matches a lot, everynight I come back, na serious beating, it got to a stage have adapted to the saying na beating, my mum na single mother, which makes it more difficult. I got back from a match, she started beating me, I was unfazed throughout the beating, while beating I told her there is a match tomorrow, that I'm seeing it regardless the beating! My mum broke down in tears to say sorry! You know what at the end? She killed football watching in me, I later find it hard watching 45mins of half time. I revolted to gain my freedom! I will not treat my kids that way

My dear I don't know o. But the important thing is to do it differently with your kids. There's no manual for parenting, so mistakes are allowed. However when we refuse to respect others, even our kids, wahala dey.

one mistake most Nigerian parents make is that they so paint religion in such a way that God seems like one wicked maths teacher from Ghana...it's NOT so...God is a father and not some mopol... wonder why the whole ten commandments were summed up into L.O.V.E...

the same way two days ago i was skyping my dad and he was like your hair is too much, what kinda style is that... I told him that there are better things to criticise... have you asked me if I'm filled in the Holy Ghost or if I have evangelised to someone?? the priorities are placed wrongly these days...hopefully our kids can enjoy serving God and not being coerced into stuff

Oh lord!!!! I have died of laughter .
One thing I've also noticed is that such parents have really wonderful kids that they'd have enjoyed if only they were not so extremely strict with superficial things.
The so act like wicked maths teachers from Ghana to the extent that you're not sure of yourself around them. You don't know what to say and what not to say, sitting together in the living room rarely happens, and when it does its like a funeral. SMH.
