EFULEFU1:
For the past month, my six year old child who is primary one has been taking many things from me, saying they have been asked by his school to give their class teacher gifts.

It has been from canned drinks, to biscuits , chocolates etc only for me to discover today that, he was lying to me. He was enjoying the goodies himself.

How should I handle this?

The child is a cunning liar, all children lie at times but the cunningness of your child can be harmful. You should have a serious talk with him, tell him it's wrong and why. Don't be harsh when it comes to punishment (if you decide punishment is warranted) remember hes only 6 and is still learning.

As far as punishment goes, I would take away his privliledges for a week (video games, TV, toys, no sweets). Whatever you decide please don't take away his meals or beat him, just make sure he understands there are consequences for lying..

Satan66:
The child is street smart but he's a liar, there's nothing good about being a liar.
My best advice for you is to tell the child you found he's lying and as punishment you won't give him food to school for the next 2 weeks ( or money for school food) just to serve as a lesson.
Do not flog the child!
This won't do anything, might even make the child fear you.

I agree with everything you said except the punishment. It is wrong and cruel to starve a child for punishment. It would be better to take away the child's privileges such as video games or television.

0KNM:
That’s how worthless your attention is to me

Yet you thanked me for the Chevy because without my attention you couldn't afford to purchase the cheap car. Well you are welcome, I'm always happy to help the less fortunate.

0KNM:
I just bought a Chevrolet with your attention. I really do appreciate. Thank you

Chevy? Cheap car.

0KNM:
He’s working on his waist

He looks like that khia of nairaland

I gave you some more attention.

AhlexOfficial:
This bus conductor was spotted wearing female-exclusive waist beads somewhere in Lagos State yesterday.

However, some commenters claimed that the waist beads is probably meant for protection while some said its a fighting charm often used by some guys.

That bus conductor is OKNM, it is a she.male member of Nairaland. It trys so hard to be like a woman.
It is trying to be sexy for you by showing you it's tantalizing waist. Men of Nairaland that she.male craves your love and attention. Go to it's mentions and give it a nice hello and a flip of the finger.

grandstar:
She did not call someone the N word but pronounced it when I seemed hesitant to say it. She's homie!

Homie my ass.

BlackSaints:
Not true what? the lady is not a gold digger or what?

The story.

habsydiamond:
it's a strategy just to make the guy think she's different from the other guys out there... Women have strategies u should know better since u are one.

Yes, I am a woman that's why I know that she wasn't interested in him, if she was she wouldn't have cancelled in the first place. It has nothing to do about him thinking she is cheap for going out with him, what kind of guy thinks that? He just threw her a sucker punch that her ego didn't expect when he didn't continue his pursuit of her. It's all about her EGO not LOVE.

habsydiamond:
she likes the guy but doesn't want to guy to see her as being cheap.

If she was really interested she wouldn't have cancelled the date.

grandstar:
Please leave my sista for us o! I'll soon be an uncle again.

Who do she call a nigger?

habsydiamond:
but she's in love with him. She will have to live with that for the rest of her life.

Where do you come up with this stuff? Where in that story did she say she was in love with him? How could she be in love with someone she just met and hadn't even dated? Re-read the story.

habsydiamond:
there are things that comes with age. When a lady keeps rejecting it will get to a certain stage where she won't have any choice because of age to stick with different thinking one would end up marrying her which will end up in disappointment

He is one person that she rejected one time, he wasn't entitled to have her. Nigeria way of life is different than the U.S. women aren't desperate and in a hurry to get married so she could be provided for by a husband. She will get married when and if she's ready.

Ernesthugo:
u can buy a brand new home in a second and move in a week.

Yeah, but the story said built a home within a week.

habsydiamond:
true talk..... She go dey there with no hubby... Last last na olosho she go dey do.. it's even common over there. She will only end up as a single mama...

Are you saying she's whor.ing because she has her own place? If that is what you are saying that's ridiculous. We have jobs so we can afford to take care of ourselves and pay for our own place. We don't need a husband to survive.

Kennyswagz1:
Is your husband a Nigerian

No.

grandstar:
You've never met her. She's family!

That's even more reason to knock her ass out, she should know better.

BlackSaints:
Khiaa come and explain.

It's not true.

habsydiamond:
true talk..... She go dey there with no hubby... Last last name olosho she go dey do.. wetin woman with 4 pikin dey find with husband.

Who said anything about her having children?

grandstar:
My sista-in-law is Slovak and she uses the word N word. She's family.

And African Americans believe they own that word and have a right to call other blacks that.

You should knock your sister in-law out the next time she uses that word.

Mogambo123:
I believe her , just that she's too dumb to know the guy is not into legit business.

Well she cancelled the supposed date so she wasn't too dumb after all.

Damn!! Stop the tribalism. I swear you guys are just as bad as white people with their racism.

Tloc:
Building a home in that context probably meant started living with his new partner.

Actually it sounds like a Nigerian wrote the story hence saying "built a house within a week" instead of "bought a house within a week".

Emilokoiyawon:
If you ask me the Nigerian niga dodge a bullet...u wife dis 1 na hbp till u die

How did he dodge a bullet? She simply had second thoughts about going out with him? At least she called and cancelled instead of standing him up. She didn't owe him anything.

AgonyOfHell:
Why calling a Nigerian a Nigga?

If that idiot was a white girl, she would have been arrested

Anyway, it's just another Twitter story that never happened

So many Nigerian men call each other Nigger Nigger Nigger constantly on this forum and I always check them.

bobokeshington:
Her Loss....


Naija girls should learn o...

That story's not real.

habsydiamond:
Hard to get will only leave u in ur mama house for eternity. Soft to get is better mehn

Remember, she's American so the situation has nothing to do with her being in her parents house. More than likely she was already in her own place.

1. The NIGERIAN man was already in the process of starting his business when he asked her out.
2. There is no way he built a house in a week.

3. He already had a lady and was only trying to hit her on the side.

4. If this story is true, things didn't work out like he planned with the new chick so he continued on with his life.

BlackSaints this is what I think.

Bojack:
kudos to my naija bloda

I thought you guys like the chase.

Duchessree:
But why will you play hard to get when you really like him??

Isn't that the code NIGERIAN women live by?

ikorodureporta:
so someone who is close to 40 shl marry his age mate??

The point is to marry women and let the little girls grow into women. If you are 40 there is nothing wrong with you marrying someone between 30 and 40. A woman can still procreate during those years.

ericsmith:
whose side are you on ...

I'm not on any side, I think the psychologist lack professionalism and most of his points are ridiculous and immature especially #19.
