You are unfair to your daughter.
She will never forget it.
Thank God say no be boy, he for beat you when he grows up.

He has taken his decision to make sure no one expects qn expensive souvenirs from him. Live with it.

Or is it your decision?

Sebastine1994:
Please schools should stop celebrating birthdays in school, please, biko. I use God beg you.

I sent my child to school to learn and not to celebrate birthdays, I came back from work one day and saw this play station 4 in a carton, I asked them who own. they said my daughter classmates celebrated her birthday and shared these gift to them.

I quickly ask them to reparkage the gift and take it back to the school, before I return from work the next day.

MY REASON IS THIS: all fingers are not equal, when it is my daughter's birthday they would be expecting a gift of equal amount.

The parent may be rich and I am not, they give my child what I can't afford for her which is a recipe for greed. she should be contented with what I can afford,

These her young mind should be moulded early to adapt to reality.

These private schools are encouraging these evil act, it may affect the child tommorow.

please push to front page to expose the dangers of school birthday.

Did they put a gun to your head that you must reciprocate

Either you returned the gift or not when it's your daughter's birthday, they will expect you to do something

It's left for you to know how to handle the situation!

Stop making life difficult for your daughter because you are poor! Shuuuuuoo

thebosstrevor1:


Indeed, videos, games and computers kill children creativity.

Even the inventors children, do not allow their children to use all the stuff you mentioned.

If the man is tempted to do similar. Na him get problem no b person wey share the game...

So if u go church and they ask person wey fit donate 1m to come out ...if u can't afford it at the time, will you go out because some people did....oga nothing wrong in the child getting such gift from school....

what if a rich man from the school volunteer to send the whole class on an expedition...u will ban you son from going, for the selfish reason that u can't do same?

kingxsamz:


Please explain what you typed here.

What is wrong with the gift ??.. gifts that was share to all children... I once also received the big bold 5 then as birthday gift from a senators daughter, when I was in SSS3... In the university I received countless of birthday gifts including books , that ordinarily my parents and I would have find it difficult to afford it, that is nothing to lure me out of the training I got from my parents right from as a kid.

[b]Give them the training, and leave them to God, cos of u think u are a master , when it get to the level that u would be there to monitor them , then they would misbehave. The training is not by returning birthday gift, they didn't beg for it, it's a birthday gift ....nothing is bad with that gift at all, there many people waiting for such gift, if u don't want your child to be engage with the game, is a different thing, u can gift it out to another person , not returning it to make it look like as if it's a sacrifice by the celebrant.

Most Nigerians are as corrupt as their leaders

WoundedLamb:


You sent your child to a big man's school and at the same time, you are trying to isolate him/from from the lifestyle. You'll only end ridiculing the poor child. You are ruining your child's self esteem by making him/her an island in his school.Your insecurities/fear of being embarrassed when it's your child's turn is be-clouding your sense of judgment.

Do you really think it's every single kid that celebrates birthdays like that in the school? Do you think that your child would be the only one who wouldn't share something or even celebrate their birthdays in school? The fact that your kid doesn't come home every other week with such expensive gifts should have made you know that it wasn't a regular thing and that many kids don't celebrate their birthdays in school and your child wouldn't be an exception. I sincerely do not see how your action benefitted anyone. If it's that you don't want your kid to be embarrassed when he dosen't have anything to share during his birthday, well, you have just doubled the embarrassment by asking him to return the gift. You were once a kid like that, just imagine the how he'd feel returning the item. His classmates will make fun of him, he will be isolated in the next celebrations cause his father is afraid of not living up to the big man's standards and you've even attracted more attention to him cause his own birthday won't go unnoticed anymore seeing the drama y'all are putting. You put your child in a big school so he'd be able to reason beyond poverty and normalize some things that poor people see as heavenly yet you still want him to keep living the poor life even when it will cost him nothing enjoy what his fellow kids are enjoying. You're simply going to damage the kid's self esteem beyond repair. You're already sounding it to him that he is different/inferior so don't be surprised when he can't compete with the kids in other aspects of life too or when he grows up to be timid.

Honestly, you were extremely selfish in that decision, sir.

Martinez39s:
So the problem is the gift? If the child had given daughter books worth 150k, would you want it returned? Beside, why couldn't the game be sold to get money to buy textbooks if that's what matters? I seriously don't get you.

Lastly, can you explain what good morals the father taught his daughter by asking her to return the gift?

themaestro08:


Do you have any evidence to support your claim?
