is it weed or ?...

Well it may seems Normal to u. But what u just did is the hight of poor reasoning I ever hear.

Please Madam, better note it now... Your destiny helper is a human being not a spirit, so taking ur children away from rich people is not sensible because you are destroying the friendship they are ment to build in other to help each other tomorrow.

Remember the Impact of what u are doing now remains in there friends memory, so if they are to help ur child, they would still say her mother wouldn't want it.

Now you can not buy the PS 4 and you can't allow her enjoy from the rich.. Biko will you be poor and be witch?

Poverty Ntooorrr

The right to refuse.
The right to say no.
The choice of acceptance or rejection.

Most Nigerians are in the habit of making dumb decisions only to regret later! Lol...as in wtf nah? Ps4 wey Yuu for sell, keep 70% when ur pikin time reach use m run dem street.or allow ur pikin enjoy life ffs. Men Yuu myopic sha! Hustle oh !!!

The poor always feel oppressed and intimidated, that was a harmless gift... Change your mindset, poor and proud na sin

SMH

when the kid gets to primary and secondary and even maybe university , we'll see how well you have suceeded as a parent

hahahahahah

Kay25:
you can allow it for your own children the rich mental person as far as I am concerned they have done the best thing in choice making just make your own child to keep accepting till he will accept invitation to join the bad wagon when you can't afford the things he or she would ask from you

Na just me abi other people don code say this whole thread na just scope? This na just traffic seeking lie lie thread ooo..

If this na true , thunder go fire the op, walahi , it's disgusting to play with people's feelings will cooked-up stories

OP be Calming Down...And if they had gifted your daughter a brand new house here you for burn am down coz of Ego...Something you clearly can't afford for the now...I'm going Jor,Your reasoning Sucks.

peeleee

xender of life

Aka2003:
Irrespective of status and need, if anybody gives my child an inappropriate gift ( I determine what is appropriate for my child) I will send it back to that person immediately. It has nothing to do with affordability of the gift. In this case I agree with the OP that the gift was inappropriate and should be sent back

Its your child and you have every right to decide what may be best for her but, in my own opinion your move may create regret or dislike from your child.

E.g,

Your hold grows older and visits a friend, friend has Ps5 ,your child would just keep feeling left out.

A question;

If your child was gifted a scholarship or someone offered to sponsor her tertiary education , would you reject because of "fingers are not equal?"

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.

op, don't mind all those shallow minded people telling you that you did wrong.




They can say all they want, but you did the right thing!




They don't know the implications of receiving such gifts at a tender age.


Free thier opinions joor

You did well. The bible says contentment is great gain. A girl child in Nigeria must be taught to be content and turn a blind eye to expensive gifts. The earlier you start, the better. I ain't raising no oloshos in my home.

Randy100:
Hustle people so that you don't return your child birthday gift back to school.

I'm just speechless

She's your child so you train her the way you want buh sometimes try to put yourself in her little shoes.

No matter what, do not ruin that girl's childhood. Take her out of the school if you ain't comfortable..

I dont think you should have rejected the gift, but it's your choice.

is it compulsory for every child or student to celebrate their birthday in d sch or to share gifts during celebration? D decision u took will make ur kid/s scared of you and hide tinzs from you in the future if u r not careful

Mad o and fit be say those kids din talk among themselves Na even why the girl must have told her parents she wants ps4 be shared to his/her classmates. Make this lady take m easy, if them dash ur pikin car or house? You no go collect m? Besides ps4 In USA kids of your age have them at home so think about it that those kids must have talked about it.

You took a very selfish and silly decision by returning the ps4 you didn't consider your child's feelings there's nothing wrong with having a PS4.

Y are pple always tinkin lyk mofos lyk dis it is just a gift dnt creat enemy 4 ur little daughter ogbeni

Well, returning the gift, I don't think was ideal. Parking and keeping it in your house and not letting your daughter use so she would not deviate from her studies while waiting for God's directives would be more ideal. the gift itself was as well, not I deal a dozen of exercise book would be more ideal.
ideal ideal not ideal ideal not ideal not ideal ideal.

First of all a ps4 for birthday gift damn that's some rich parents.


... @Sebastine1994 your act was full of grudge. You could have simply kept the gift and made your kids earn it.
The wrong thing to say is "all fingers are not equal", I don't understand how that equates to anything. Let your kids know these flashy pricey things won't always come easy.


You are just growing enemies for your kids and yourself. It's uncalled for

It takes one stupid boy to erase every upbringing given to a girl child.
I have seen girls from rich background just love to hustle on the streets.
But for now as kids, they should enjoy their childhood abeg.

Implications you say? I would love to know.
But if the parent bought the gift for the child themselves, NO implications right?


(Dude just make the child understand that's an expensive and no ordinary easy gift, make them earn it, keep it and see them work hard to earn it.)

I keep saying that we still have wonderful people in Nigeria. Thumbs up Madam!

There's almost no hope for this our society. Monetary value is the first thing most commenters here are likely to base their decision to keep or not keep such gift. What a shame.

Gifts are what they are but they MUST BE APPROPRIATE. Most especially for kids who are still in primary school. A playstation is never an appropriate gift for children at that age. Then the expensive monetary value of it doesn't teach them financial discipline and responsibility.

Nigerians have a problem with living within their means and contentment. That's why anything and everything that brings money is OKAY.

For those shouting 'poverty mentality', If you decide to collect expensive gifts without discretion, that doesn't make you any richer. It only means that you have something in your possession that you may 'want' but don't 'need'. And probably can't maintain.

Parents gifting primary school kids playstation 4, that's like telling them they'll stumble upon wealth in High school.

NaijaCr7:
Poverty mentality mixed with inferiority complex

It's a gift and am sure it would have been what the child (celebrant) wished for.. I am sure no inscription on the box reads you must Payback with similar gesture.

Why don't u stop breathing because you think u can't pay God what it worth.

You go your friend party he serve you rice and chicken shey that one mean say u no go invite am come yours cos na rice Nd fish u fit afford.

And for those Mofos saying PS4 is counter productive, you need to do more research. Gaming helps develop mental reasoning and decision making, the only bad side is addiction, and we all know addiction to any thing is likely dangerous.

Modified.
L[b]et's assume the father of the celebrant gets to know about such act from the child's father, in the future when such child need his connection to get something am sure he might be skeptical offering a hand....when you can afford a school where your child can mix with the influential what you teach them is power of humility, sharing and contentment. You don't create enemies for them because of perceived competition

nigerians are very hypocritical in nature, if it was a job offer the parent of that child offered him now he will jump out of the window just to grab it.such gifts are not shared in goverment schools, which means you can afford the school fees.so do well to remove your child and take her to a goverment school where your lots are.but for the game box pls dm me my child needs it.
