FamilyRe: Bullying: I Taught My Son To Fight Back by Pinkzebra: 4:16pm On Dec 05, 2021
westfield:
I dont see this one as bullying asking if you have washing machine or dish washer........all you have to tell your child is he should make sure it doesnt get into his head so he doesn't start stealing because of Inferiority complex
That's is emotional intimidation and yes,.it counts for bullying. Making mockery and jest of people to the extent they feel weakened counts for bullying

FamilyRe: Bullying: I Taught My Son To Fight Back by Pinkzebra: 9:36pm On Dec 04, 2021
I am teaching my toddler , my son that's is okay if we don't have some things . For instance we don't have a car but most of his class mates families have and he would.look on so long to their cars while we wait for bike . I told him we are fine and no different from them as owing cars doesn't mean they were better off. I said when it is time that we can afford to own a car which is soon we would and if we don't , it doesn't mean we are poor . After all you attend the same school and we pay same fee.
I teach him to be proud of what he owns especially what he worked for . I teach him working hard is good as that is a good path to success .
I don't know where all of this is coming from, but if you ask him what he wants to do , he will say to buy and build big cars . Here what I do , I buy him several toy cars and he builds cars out of anything, name it pegs, slipper, books , his food anything! Rather than feel bad about us not owing a car, he has turn it to his passion .
If anyone has toy cars not used anymore and is willing to gift , I'm all open . My kid keeps getting fascinated with cars and now when we take our bikes , he smiles and sometimes he suggest we walk home .

Parents should build confidence in their kids and encourage to speak up when they do , don't shun them listen to understand.
I feel if parents get more involved with their kids , guiding them all the way , kids will turn out to be good responsible adults .
The best way to fight back is to build confidence not go physically or abusing back .
I am open for toy car gifting ooo ; cheesy
FamilyRe: Could He Have Ulterior Motives By Disagreeing To This? Should I Opt Out? by Pinkzebra:
He doesn't have an ulterior motive, but he is scared . As an African man, knowing he can't impregnate a woman and doing that willinging will wreck his ego. Since you brought the game of having one child , then cut off your fallopian tube . Is not risky , at least you get your period and get to enjoy sex without fear of pregnancy . So bear the burnt and leave him out or better still keep trying until you get a man who will dance to your tune .


On a lighter note : may my son not meet a woman like you, iseeeee!

FamilyRe: What Are Your Plans For 2022 by Pinkzebra: 12:56pm On Nov 24, 2021
Personal Development: trainings , workshop, start a blog on my career, go for my second degree, write more , spend more money on my kids and save less.
This year I save 95% of my salary in a safe lock and I feel deprived and couldn't help people enough when I wanted to it was a cooperative kind of thing where you must save every month. I couldn't register for courses when they pop up
So 2022 I am saving 5% and spending 95% how I want . This life na once we dey live am. My future is my present for that is the one I own.
No resolutions, after all I don't remember them again.
As for things being expensive, it has always been so since my childhood . I have never heard that things are now cheaper . We will survive

FamilyRe: Would You Abort A Kid With Down Syndrome? Why And Why Not. by Pinkzebra: 2:37pm On Nov 23, 2021
We all sound as though here in Nigeria people do all necessary test when pregnant. How many parents even do these test or can afford to ? Those who have children with disability.often times didn't find out until after birth .
I'm sure if most if these parents were given the choice at about say trimester , they will abort it.
Having said that , I do not judge a parent who choose to abort neither do I praise the one who decide to have them . Our capacity and tolerance level differs and our ability to fight off social stigmatization differs too.
But I do believe that people with down syndrome are humans and shouldn't be treated less of a person . But this is Nigerian , we are the most religious and get we are hypocrite. We criticize whatever we don't understand and we We do not understand humanity and that the world � is for all
HealthRe: Please Help Me Get Rid Of This Disorder On The Side Of My Face by Pinkzebra: 11:12am On Nov 23, 2021
InTheCloudySky:
What side effects? I'm sure you've never heard of it before or seen one in your life to be running your mouth like a loose parrot. Retin-A/Tretinoin can treat many skin conditions and hyperpigmentation is one of them. Other than a little peeling of the skin (it speeds up collagen production of the skin, which means the foremost layer of the skin is gradually peeled off while new skin resurfaces) and accompanying dryness, it has no major side effects. I've used it for years and still do (not for hyperpigmentation or any skin condition), as it's golden for having and maintaining beautiful skin. It can be used for these purposes alone. I have NEVER had any side effects apart from those two. Personally, I don't even consider them side effects because they're no issue for me. Some people may get excessive peeling and other side effects like redness if they're slapping it on their skin, thinking they need to use a lot, which can be counterproductive. With the lowest dose and even the highest, it can take at least six weeks to start seeing a difference in the skin, as it's not an overnight miracle. It takes its time to regenerate the skin but it's so worth it once the patience is exercised. A lot of people actually give up during this time because they think it's not doing anything for them, when it is and can do wonders for their skin. If I throw away all my skincare products (which I won't do, ha!) and have just Retin-A/Tretinoin and my favorite SPF moisturizer, I'm good. It's that amazing.

Learn not to run your mouth when you're ignorant about a subject.
Please where can I get this Retin A/Tretinoin? I have good SPF moisturizer though

AllahIsShit:
It's too late for him. If he were in Basic 1 or 2, perhaps there would be some hope of turning things around, but if at basic 5 things are this bad, there's very little anyone can do for him.
There is a lot that can be done for him . How can a year 5 pupil write like that ? That's pathetic!
Year one in the school where I teach write better grammatically and calligraphically.
I don't understand the OP's reason for 'showing off' this he should rather be ashamed for his wife that her pupil , a year 5 pupil write this horribly .
I cry for the future of that kid if there is no early intervention

HealthRe: Health Challenges In My Marriage: I Am Worried by Pinkzebra: 10:57am On Nov 21, 2021
Pregift:
My husband has been sick for a month now. The problem started when he lost almost a million naira in a business deal. All of a sudden he lost so much weight, so I attributed it to the depression that he passed through as a result of the loss. After like 2weeks he recovered the money and since then I noticed that he became sick, he has being coughing for more than 3weeks now, he suffers fatigue, chills, severe chest pain and general body pains. We have gone for test and the result said it's pneumonia. He has taken Drugs but it's till like that. He till coughs and feels fatigue everytime. The issue now is that am worried and my mind is telling me that he might have covid 19. Please am scared. What should I do at this point.
If he won't go to clinic shout it and escalate it to his family.and friends. You people should drag him to a teaching hospital or if you are capable a private hospital that is capable.
Sorry to sound negative this is exactly what killed my neighbor last week . Their story is similar . The sickness started with bad investment then non stop cough and he refused to go to hospital. Unfortunately the day the wife escalated it and we neighbor rushed him to hospital was the day he gave up. Please don't waste time don't sit on it . You won't lost your hubby in Jesus name . But please act fasttttt
FamilyRe: How To Counsel A 5 Year Old Girl by Pinkzebra: 2:42pm On Oct 18, 2021
OlabodeTECH:
Hey guys!

I truly wish I could be anonymous with this funny but troubling challenge.... lol

My family recently moved to another part of the country and the kids changed school. We've all settled down but my daughter is yet to.

She's having a hard time making friends in her new school. She just started Primary class and daily complaint from her is that her peers call her 'a Baby' because she isn't chubby like them.

The other kids appear to be what Yorubas call "Agric"

Please note my daughter isn't skinny. She eats well and has a good stature/height for her age.

She is very confident, smart and outspoken but I feel scared she may start experiencing inferiority complexity at this tender age. No evidence of bullying though based on my discussions with her.

What can I do?
Talk to your daughter about how we all look different and that doesn't make us less of a person .
Secondly , talk to the teacher . Politely asks her to talk to other kids to stop calling your daughter a 'baby' . Ask the teacher to encourage other kids to be nice and welcoming to your daughter .
Your daughter might just be reacting to the fact that is a new school in a new environment. I think she will come along . But don't shun her anytime she complains . Listen and affirm her concerns and counter them by giving hope. If these persist more than these term after doing all the above , I think you should be alarmed because it means your kid isn't learning . No child learn in an unconducive environment.

FamilyRe: My Wife Left Me Because I Lost My Job. by Pinkzebra: 10:19am On Sep 16, 2021
Olivertwist1985:
My wife which we have been married for the past thirteen (13) years and have five(5) children, four boys and girl for me ,just left my house on Sunday to her parent house without informed me.

She left because we have little disagreement about monthly food allowance which I used to give her every month but I failed to give her this month when she requested for

She left with the girl which is six months old and a boy two years and left three boys for me.

Please I need your advice, should I go and beg her or I should forget about her and continue with my life. According to my family members, they said I should forget about her because of the manner she left.
You are not telling the whole truth. How can a woman who has lived with you for thirteen years leave just because you didn't drop allowance for one month ?
Don't mind those family telling you not to go. They will mock you later when the suffering of taking care of three boys alone start telling on you. Go to your wife and her family go and have a discussion and bring your wife home . Women are not wired to be patient for long when there isn't money . Please find another hustle , God will bless you. Doesn't she have what she do ?

I need your help guys my girlfriend mom ask me to borrow her money that she will pay me back in 3weeks I don't no what to do as am confused should I borrow her or not as she told her daughter to ask me to borrow her what is your suggestion tho it's for the first time...
.
.
.
I have been helping my girlfriend with money tho she works but she spends her money on her family leaving me to be giving her money every time she is broke now the mom is asking me for money what do I do
This is so appalling. Poverty is bad in all ramification. It kills what people would have preserve as pride. Those days poor people have pride but today people don't care . How can a mother ask her daughter's boyfriend to borrow her money ? *Shameful*
Whether you give her or not , your relationship can ber be the same again. What kind of trap have they set for you bikonu?
If you don't give her , they will say you are stingy, if you give her, and collects it back , they will say you and stingy wicked and do not deserve to be with their daughter . If you say take and don't pay back they will say hhaahan we have seen a maga and bring more problems for you to solve .
Seriously this is hard my brother . Just run

a single mom or divorcee? I'm sure d red flags were there but most times we choose to ignore
People say this everytime . The red flags are not always there. People change, circumstance happen status changed, emergencies decisions are taken, all if this don't always happen in courtship. There are those who were best dates buddies and check ✔️ into one another boxes , but couldn't hold up in marriage , not because the red flags were seen but ignored , but the fact that change is constant .

got into bad company, misapproprited money meant for my schooling on irrelevances, about to throw away my life cause of those mistakes
Have been in worse, but you know what I did? I surrendered all to jesus ( if you are not a christian this might not be for you) and I was able to tell my family what I have done and then I have peace. I'm in a better place now , and I'm full of hope. Is one if those things that comes with being a youth . But some mistake are irredeemable. They have everlasting impact . But that doesn't mean we can't start all over again. Go to your family tell them what you have done then You will have true peace and your burden will be lifted.
Start by telling someone you are close to in the family, that person will escalate it. In my own case , I told my elder sister first , and trust me she did a good job escalating . And the day I found out my dad was aware of what I had done , that is the day my peace that passesth all understanding started still date . My dad and I are paddies now . So op speak to someone and you will be fine .
FamilyRe: What Is The Best Long-lasting Contraceptive Method Suitable For Me? by Pinkzebra: 6:16pm On Sep 06, 2021
Bluntsisi:
Pardon my wrong grammar.
I need you guys to give me some better suggestions on the way forward.

I can't just control myself whenever my husband is around.
In fact, I can't practice natural family planning methods, because I can't resist the urge whenever it comes up either in me or in him.
(Even if I'm not in the mood, once he is in the mood, no matter the time I am in my cycle, I will get in the mood immediately - and that's how it is for him too. No matter how tired he is, once I'm in the mood, he gets strength from no where, and that's how we will continue firing non-stop until our bones are both dead).

The main issue now is that, I don't like condoms, or daily contraceptives, or all these morning-after pills, and I don't want to sterilize myself because I might still want a last baby after 6 or 7 years from now.
The worst of it all is that these urges are always spontaneously unplanned.
We usually don't just know how they start.
From normal daily gistings to more normal gistings, and the next thing, serious urges from no where would just overcome us.

I don't want to have more kids.
I have had enough already.
I am really very grateful that my husband takes good care of me during all my pregnancies.
But I have had enough kids for now.
I want to be enjoying him non-stop without having to remind him that the timing is not right.,, after which I would still rush back to him to calm my own burning nerves.

Pardon me for my ranting.
I really need help.
You just describe my hubby and I with your story .I get worried , too . But will be seeing a family doctor soon for family planning .

[quote author=Fafesot post=105487943]Abeg, make una help me oo.
I had little malaria, which I've addressed with drugs. It's now 90% gone.
But, I noticed at a time when the sickness was still intense; I couldn't sense the taste and smell of anything. After sometimes, I regained my sense of taste,about 60%. But I still can't smell anything. This is getting crazy, to the extent I can't perceive the odour of faeces
Pls help me; it's urgent.











I went through same thing. It started with malaria.
You will be fine . Mine is 80percent back. Don't panic. If you are still on your malaria drugs please continue. And eat enough ginger. The peppery taste helps.
A lot of people are loosing their sense if smell and taste these days . I think is covid-19, but if you are young and healthy , it passes away.
Don't panic, dear

I never said they were too good for public schools. Don't read meanings into what I didn't say. I thanked the poster who suggested that and told him we haven't really thought of that. That I will suggest it to the family and hope they take it.

For your nephews, for them to realistically not stay home this September, encourage their parents to get them registered at the nearest public primary school and when their finances improve, they switch them back to a private school.
We haven't really consider this option, I will suggest it. But I don't know if the parents will allow the kids do that . I was even thinking we could take them to a far cheaper school . The kids have never been to public school so don't know how this will affect their well being . Thank you
