If I attend 4square and my daughter decides to attend Methodist and so what?as long as the virtues of Christ is shown in her,I don't give a damn.it's when she decides to attend all these questionable churches like ekankar,gurumaraji,all those churches where they wash head in the stream or pastor will be conducting deliverance for you and ask you to bring 30k,3 strands of your pubic hair,toe nails and red candle and all those kinds of nonsense etc that I Will raise brows |
Dirkcoyt:it's that negative perception of thinking they own you.that's the genesis,like a property.I think the root cause is from culture |

Dirkcoyt:I remember a colleague of mine who the mother was always policing about.the mother will.come to her school unannounced ,troll her and even be going through her hand bag and when she asked her mom why she was always policing her,the mother said because she married as a virgin and she too must be a virgin and this is a girl that saw herself in her parents wedding picture as the little bride in her parents wedding pictures whilst the mom was visibly pregnant with her kid brother.The babe got wind of the picture when her mom asked her to bring her phone in her wardrobe,that was when she accidentally saw the picture well hidden and tucked under her mom's clothes.she just laughed over it.when she was telling me I found it hilarious. Yet the mom will be claiming I married as a virgin but she doesn't argue with her.it was then I realise they also lie too and create a picture of being morally perfect just to act as a moral police to their kids |
Imustreturn:there's an extent you push your child's endurance and tolerance level and when it gets to exhaustion point,most times the children go south forever and to make them come back home is hard Unfortunately round table or friendly discussions don't do much except one on one brave,properly planned and intelligent confrontation. I remember during our bouts of confrontation my dad will quote the bible which most parents use as a manipulation tool saying in ephesians children honor your father and mother so that you will live long I replied him with the same bible in the same Ephesians that said parents provoke not your children to wrath Emotional abuse is provoking to wrath Manipulation and threats is provoking to wrath.You see the bible you're quoting doesn't ad read a particular group of people,it's all encompassing.as it is directed at children,so it is directed at parents.him hand drop. The thing is when you're READY for confrontation be strategic.know that they will.come from different angles and be prepared for all angles.don't just fight to win arguments,disagree with the aim of agreeing,MUTUAL respect and reconciliation. If they try smiling with you in trying to weaken your guards still carry a straight face.these parents are wiser than you think.if not they're capable of controlling and manipulating you,intruding in your marriage and almost wrecking it The point is every relationship where boundaries aren't set,disrespect is inevitable |
AprilSmallWoman:I left the church and they didn't see any evidence of waywardness or irresponsibility The thing is live a decent life,act responsible and respect yourself whilst protecting yourself from their assaults.if THEY don't see anything to use against you as to force you to.church or make them have their way,they will let you be |
jacyhelen:lol *ignoring will quell the hatred.hatred only needs attention for it to be fuelled,if attention is not given,the hatred will die a natural death* |
iceadonis:my own grouse and reason for annoyance is why do churches rival with themselves yet they claim to be worshipping God.they will say haaa don't go to Anglican,there are witches there,Methodist is a church for wizards and other stupid things like that |
Alexas58:mshrew THERE are many ways to enter mile 2 .meaning there are many ways to achieve your aim with African parents even if he's the lion of the tribe of sambisia forest |
luvablesam:my dear I don't know how to accept dms o.I have been having challenge with it o.How are you anyway? |
emerged01:I'm under my own roof and make my own decisions There are somethings that put me off about African parenting.You use your power and authority or financial influence over that child to make him do your bidding e.g threatening him with school fees and pocket money to make him attend a certain church or live a certain life. Have you asked yourself one day when you don't have that power of influence over that child,what happens to all the lifestyle you were forcing him to live? You should be asking yourself is my son or daughter acting OR she is actually turning out the way I wanted What happened to all the rappers now.many of them where forced to be in the choir as kids and teenagers by their parents,but that wasn't what they wanted.now their parents don't have that power over them again,what happens? Are you training your child to be a good actor to satisfy you ? What happens when he leaves your roof.a parent should use impact rather than coercion.coercion usually turns the kids to good actors and then become opposite of what their parents instilled in them So why then is the essence of training your child when you know that as soon as you have no power over him again,all the values will enter thrash can |
Nodogragra4me:exactly.even.God doesn't want you to worship him because your parents insists.he WANTS a willing,free will worship from the heart and not to satisfy your parents.hence my statement if you're going to church to please your parents you're wasting your time.If There's a compulsion or an external influence pressuring you to go to a particular church there is likelihood that you won't receive anything because everything the pastor is saying will be irritating YOU But when you are in a place you feel fulfilled in,nobody will tell YOU.it's you that will knows and that's when you can flourish thrive and have a Better understanding of the bible.not Nigerian cultural understanding of the bible.There's a difference |
luvablesam:hi luvable sam.so you're still on nl and you didn't ask after me abi ![]() And to your comment EVERY family member is an architect to every child's LIFE.but I'm sure the prostitutes touts and pickpockets don't have family members that are architect to the child's LIFE.continue deceiving yourself. Ever heard every man is responsible for his success or failure in life? Anyway op you're the owner of your cross.na you know where the shoe dey pinch you,so do whatever you want to do.it's not your life anyway,it's your parent's.you're just a spectator |
Op what exactly is the issue now? |
Smh When will people sponsor orphans to school,widows children,unprivileged people in the school and those interested in establishing a business People Will rather fund wedding ceremonies,burial ceremonies and birthday parties than life changing ventures |
mystiquemaestro:lol.that's what you think but not so.There's what they call disagreeing to agree.it's a friendly fight,so to speak.that's what I'm advocating,not rebellion Very recently,as of yesterday afternoon,on this SAme forum in nairaland family section,a guy was complaining bitterly of how his inlaws controls his wife against his authority.they tell her what school her children should go,as against the school the man wants his kids to go and can afford,they dictate what she should do and so many many other things that I'm not ready to go into because of deviation from the major issue here,you can read it up over there but the bottom line is that he who is afraid to fight has only postponed her day of fight Lovers fight a fight that lead to understanding and respect for themselves Friends do it Neighbors do it.the fight doesn't mean they hate each other or itself JUST a means to create respect and boundaries Siblings also do it You see those people who their parents or inlaws meddle into their marital buisness,it's because they allowed their parents to control their decisions and lives all their lives and marriage didn't change it If she doesn't deal with it now,she will still deal with it later in a harder and more complicated way Nobody gives you respect ,not even your parents except you earn it Otherwise she will be married and they'll still be dictating when she should get pregnant,how many kids she should have,where they should live etc |
shadeyinka:you're not getting my point.I'm not saying SHE should be rebellious or disrespectful to her parents,but set BOUNDARIES I'm also not saying SHE should go to a demonic church but she should pray,sieve the church she chooses whether it's in reconciliation with the bible and know whether you feel fulfilled There are somethings that shouldn't be done for a child at a certain age You cannot wear clothes for her,put food in her mouth or bath her.similarly you shouldn't choose church for her.let her parents allow her to exercise her brain and power of choice NO matter how much you love a child,give her the opportunity to make her decision before you turn her to an imbecilic and over dependent child that cannot make decisions except mummy is there The question YOU should be asking yourself is do I want to raise an emotionally matured individual,who has initiave and can make decisions for herself or do i want her to be totally dependent on me in every thing she does and making her own life decisions (EVERY African parents dream) Almost like THEY want to think for you,determine WHERE you go,who you talk to,what type of company you should send your cv to etc |
greatnaija01:when popsi was threatening me with I won't pay your school fees,I.won't give you pocket money,back then at 19 or so,I said no problem na,don't give me.if YOU don't give me there are thousands of guys that Will give me (it's a LIE o,na just shakara.I didn't mean it) Shebi if they ask me why I didn't go to school,I will say it's you that didn't pay my school fees,let's see who will get the insult. Babe,my pocket MONEY dry enter steady,till I finished school and even when I was at home those days and they sometimes forget themselves by calling me unsavory names,I remind them that daddy you can pass your message across without insults.it's not until you insult me,I will do what you want Since that time till I left the house even as a young girl,if I serve popsi food,he will tell me,thank you,when he wants to send me errand he will say so with respect,e.g please help me do this,not come here,fool,etc typical of how parents insult their daughters.it's you that will train them on how to talk to you,adress you etc You think African parents care about your age if you don't deliver yourself?lol I remember my cousin who her dad slapped on her wedding day inside the car in the presence of guests where her husband's friend acted as the driver for that day.that's how disrespectful and disregardful for your feelings or age they can be,if you don't set boundaries now. That day I was just looking very irritated but in my mind I was laughing because I know they have so basterdized and mumunized her that she can't do anything about it. |
Flourishh:if you don't deliver yourself,they will still be telling you what to wear,what to eat,where to go etc till you enter your thirties and to now start saying anything will be hard because you've made them used to pushing you here and there. I'm not saying you should be rebellious,you can get your respect back by reminding them that some of your mates are married and if you were,will you still be dictating the church I attend? |
