Mental issues, yes but not poverty. A thousand eyes cannot equal a mother's pair of eyes. Some parents will give their child to stay with not because they are poor but may want the child to grow in a different environment. My girl's parents are not in anyway poor. That is why returning her this Xmas is not an issue to me but she has to complete this term. Nothing can be fairer than that.

glossy6:
We can officially close the thread now. It has been an interesting one although some posts were misunderstood.

No child deserves to be taken away from the parents in all fairness.

something else we are not taking into consideration regarding this discussion is cultural and geographical differences.

Labour is not cheap and readily available in the west, so those who live here do everything ourselves. The hubby's are more hands on and we find ways to make life easier for us, however in Nigeria there are more hands available, be it relatives and house helps and so they get to do most of the housework

I have a 12 year old too and she cannot carry a bucket of water talk less of wash a car and that is because there is no need to. So if she comes to your house, she will cry 24/7
But I see where you are coming from because your daughter is able to do it, so you will expect any 12 year old to do it and you genuinely mean no harm.

I will be honest here and say that Nigeria life doesn't make it easy. i wash my car probably 8 times a year here why the cars in Nigeria have to be cleaned everyday, and everything in Nigeria takes that much more effort to do
I havent got a problem with having house-helps, but not kids and for them to be treated fairly and well as they are human beings too.

tearoses:
I honestly didnt know and I didnt connect the FCCG's as public schools
I had visions of the school that baby posted up there
Fair enough

tearoses:
@glossy quick question
I didn't realise that there are public boarding schools. I thought that they were all day schools.
Are these in Lagos?
Do you pay for boarding or is it free?
Thanks

modath:
It is when we get rregional autonomy that we will face the Ogun people who have been marginalizing the rest of us politically since time immemorial......
From Papa Awo to OBJ to Shonekan to PYO, the ogun folks have stopped the rest of us from developing, the lack of equity & justice is mind numbing, we will secede..

MumFiyin:
Morning All, its my birthday 2day.... Yippee..... This time last yr I got the most fantastic bday pressie from God and i didn't know.

Went to see a Dr cos i had some rashes all over my body and he told me it was an allergic reaction and prescribed Antihistamines for it.... Hmmmmm.

The alagbos in my hse asked me to rub bitter leaf water on my body and my cuzins recommended that i drank it to wash out whatever it is i was reacting to. I was desperate to get over the episode cos of the itchiness so I considered drinking the bitter leaf water.

Just before i drank it, I decided to do a PT( i wasn't TTC'n but didn't mind getting preg) Lo and behold i got a BFP and dat was d cause of the reaction. Thank God i didn't drink the bitter leaf water .

I pray to God for anoda fantastic pressie dis yr and pray that God answers all TTC with their BFPs and May all pushing mama's have a safe delivery.

Some1 pls gimme a bday mate.

Wishing ya'all a fab day

onila:
no one jokes abt their family

I am not that silly

whenever I am in the family section, I am serious

ValerianSteel:
Killers.

What's this craze of Nigerians killing anything they see?

How does this precious animal pose a threat to those that killed it?

They killed it plus destroyed the future of its eggs.

There's a serious threat against animals in this country,every unidentifiable creeping,crawling,flying creature is up for kill,it's a very barbaric act that needs to be stopped.The other day it was snake,a few months back,a rare species of ocelot was murdered,today,this is killed and it's yet to be laid eggs destroyed as well.

We need a serious Animal Protection/Conservation Authority to handle this growing menace.Nigerians are endangering many animals on daily basis with how they kill them.

It's God at the end of the day. However, Iv done extensive research before I settled on the school she will be going to in jan.

CCTV covered & recording available upon request of the parents , activity log books, ratio of nanny to children, qualification of the nanny, etc

But it's all still God at the end of the day

tpiadotcom:
in some families, success= curse and that is probably why the successful sister is staying away.

for all one knows, she might not even be as well off as her foes are imagining.

favoredgal:
Don't get me wrong I'm not passing any judgement o! I'm extremely fortunate to have my mom, my dad and my husbands family close to me

If I didn't however, she will be in crèche already and I will pay for 'after school' all near my office, that way we go and come back together. She is starting school in jan when baby no 2 comes and that's my plan by God's grace

Before I conceived her it was a roller coaster ride of tears, fears and prayers. Can't take any chances

zaynie:
Yes you can, but you have to take every single powder. Why dont you break it into tiny sizes and swallow. Or better still take it at night, you are less likely to vomit then. You can also ditch pregnacare and use all the components separately eg folic acid, bcomplex, vit c etc. You can also wrap the pregnacare in eba/ any swallow. You can take it with juice too or even ogi.
Pele. This phase will soon pass. Hold on

glossy6:
Points has been made and lessons learnt on this issue. Inasmuch as I don't want to prolong issues on this thread, I want more clarification on this "professional nanny" of a thing.

Please what make them professional? Do they undergo training as done in the US? How can we engage them? Pls don't tell me OLX.

I need to know and maybe one or two people here. Genuine info & not usual NL bashing.

Rukemi291:
See, I kept laughing at her ignorance. Maybe she wants me to start paying for malpractice too. I did my research before putting her there.

She spoke about 'closing early and be useful'.... Chai... If 3.30 is close early, then.... I reserve my comment. You can tell the IQ of a person from their posts.

And d poster that spoke about her dropping my son at school. My boy rather goes to school very early so that she's in school too before 7.30.

I ignored unreasonable comments like hers, acidosis' and of course madam of senseless posters'.

I have picked the very useful ones and moved on.

You are an FCA, wow. I doubt the likes of her know what that means... you are an achiever.

Thanks Ojugunrege. You were once in my shoes.

ApexTitan:
I'm amazed some of the guys here do not know by now why women will want to date someone they feel no physical attraction for.

damiso:
LOL

Saw your mention about TV license and you are right.

We do pay the TV license. But as Saga said you have to pay it when you have lil kids especially not with my own over sabi children.

That is when my daughter will be saying ' mummy why are you hiding' why are you not answering the door'

Why are you all paraing its not that much now its less than £15 a month naa?

damiso:
