I really don't understand why it's a big deal for parents to say 'I am sorry' to their kids. These same parents will scold a child who refuses to say a continuous thank you for gift that isn't so helpful at the moment. All in the name of being parents, they feel that they are equal the moment you say you are sorry to a child.

Children are human too and they have rights. Parents who constantly would refuse to be sorry for a wrong has a chance of
Not having a good communication with the child
Loosing the child to sharks in the street
Loosing any form of connections
Child seeking any available means of getting out of the house
Getting advice from third parties
Confiding in other people

Children are meant to be our friends, buddies. When you Apologize to your child, train and even spank sometimes, children understand why you spanked them. Being a hard, tough, unyielding parents will only lead you to loosing them.

Be nice, playful, accommodating, apologize, train, communicate, spank and always put them before God.. Only that can you hope for a better future with your child

Things are changing but gradually. It is a reflection of the poor human development index plaguing the country.

Yes, it's not fair to play God over a child but that's life.

As much as I would like to deceive myself, a lot still comes out from it.

As a Jehovah's Witness, we take to heart the counsel given parents (Read Collosians 3:21, Ephesians 6:4) Timeless counsel for parents.

We need to become imitators of God as beloved children (Read Psalms 130:3-4 and Ephesians 5:1)

Hahahaa...op na that one still be your problem? I sense you're an indomie generation.

To some its a norm cos they dont even expect it so they dont bother when they don't get it.

Me oo...my mum does if she knows she has over done it but my dad, hell use style style and buy something for you and you too will know he's trying to make up for it but I dont think he ever said sorry. So we have gba kamu for that side and its not really an issue as op is trying to make it look cos there other more pressing issues in life to worry about one sorry somewhere�.

I'm not bothered. I still love them both of blessed memory though.

Do you have kids?.....

Good question, I don’t know the type of apology he wants.

When you have children who play mind games on you, you have to be careful the sort of message you send.

Why is this such a big deal?

I apologise to my daughter especially when I travel and have to spend time away on business or for other reasons.

Even at home I apologise for the odd things

Saying sorry is not that hard, my parents apologised to us for various reasons when we were growing too

Apologise ke? For where??

Not only do I never apologise - mainly as I'm almost never wrong, or can artfully bluff if I am cool - I never ask command them to do things with a please or, a thank you once done. I'd rather scold them for not executing speedily, perfectly, with all humility etc.

Na so e dey start, from apologising to asking permission. On good days they are treated like the most contemptible of military conscripts. On bad days simply herded like cattle - prod and all.

Apologise ko, repent ni. Soon you'll be talking about childrens rights...eh!

I don't know where the people on this platform all come from, in my household there's no boss and no servant. Whenever, i missed any event in my family either for the kids or my wife, i apologize to them, they all do same in return as well.

How big is the word "SORRY"? That word can solve a lot of issues if you put pride and ego one side and free yourself from the prison of bitterness.

he scammed me too today. why re people like this? His phone is switched off. I'm tired of Nigerians. I wish I can trace him and give him a sound slap. Wherever he is he took the earth and will never result to anything good in his life. If you are in Lagos, let's meet somewhere and report to access bank and know if his account can be blocked.

""You discipline your kids and don't apologize for doing so."" well said
the MF kid that have not left Nigeria
think Nigeria is America
I have made it clear to my kids that I am a Nigeria man with great values and culture
I continue to work on balancing the great culture and values my parent taught me in my life
to the new things i have learned in the past 32 yrs
Some modern day parents are just giving their kids food without imbibing the right values in them. You see some mannerless and senseless. I'll beat sense into you without apology.
Re: Is There A Way To Make African Parents Apologize To Their Kids by Slimsly100(f): 6:40pm On Aug 12, 2019
Definitely not my mum whom is always trying to please everyone. Though when we were Young she was always right but when at 12 I started voicing out my mind in the house, she changed and has been wonderful since then. Maybe cause everyone is now an adult. Dad will never tell any other person sorry except me his last born, photocopy, (younger sis) like he'll say.

Re: Is There A Way To Make African Parents Apologize To Their Kids by ajl: 6:56pm On Aug 12, 2019
My father used to say "I am sorry" or "I am sorry I was wrong" to me, many times right from my childhood days. I will just say its a question of how enlightened the parents are. Not a question of how educated they are. Same way I apologize to my kids if i am wrong about anything.

African parents believed they are training you and putting you in the right path and building you up for a future ahead to make you become a better person.
You must have offended your parents before they'll discipline you, and if you're dealt with wrongly, which is not common in most cases, they have their ways of apologizing to you, which may not be direct.
For instance, my mum would have been warning and giving you signs long before the 'day of your reckoning' would come. grin
Let's stop this act of condemning everything about Africa and our rich values.
The oyinbos you're mentioning have their own cup full of palaver with their children too.
This is d best in i wil read today, dont mind all dos halfdone babies joo. african parents are training u ahead IN CASE the unthinkable hapens in d future, one never can tell, one may find himself/herself in an unfamiliar situation in the near future by den u must hav been groomed, no wonder we re having too much teenage suicide this days.
