Beat the shit out of him. That's the best advise you'd ever get.
Re: How Do l Handle My Irresponsible Father!! by TonyBby: 2:15pm On Oct 03, 2023
First of all, you gotta go meet yo' papa, man to man and know what are his plans for yo' sister cause if you continue like this you won't be able to gather any profits as backup for your own self, and any attempt to keep footing your family bills, i promise you yo' papa will see's it as yo' responsibility and will stop doing anything for the family cause he's been waiting for moments like that. I hope your lil sis is the last born?, cause if she ain't bro!!!! you have a very long way to go. Make sure you guys provide her with her basic amenities, reason why am keen on her (she's a girl). You should understand better, i don't need to crack it deep.

How old is your Father
Re: How Do l Handle My Irresponsible Father!! by kennethesan(m): 2:28pm On Oct 03, 2023
It is well.

Let me quickly correct you there. Pls don't ever address your father as being irresponsible even if he acts as one, it shouldn't come out of your mouth pls.

You see, no Father is outrightly irresponsible. The way we are wired, we are designed to fend for our families. However, when forces beyond his control makes that impossible he malfunctions like a computer infected with a virus.

Pls understand this and pray for Dad.

It is well bro...

Sometimes when I look at my dad,I only wonder how he managed to do it....As in,how he managed to take care of my brothers and I after the death of my mom despite being jobless..............There was never a time we went hungry...We were even privileged to attend one of the best private school in town...Tho there were challenges along the line but it really helped shaped us into being what and who we are becoming....



Op, it's never been easy...........But trust me, there's no wicked father anywhere who would fold his hands and watch his children lack when he has the ability to solve their problem....

May we become fathers and not only fathers but the type that will be able to provide eveey basic need of our wards and our parents and every loved one ๐Ÿ™

I love this . This is the main reason I treasure my dad above all. My dad being a single parent and working with FSL in government institution, he trained I and my brother, in addition to his siblings, we all graduated from university except for one that that wasn't serious for life who has become a plague to us. We faced all manner of challenges . Some days no food but he never gave up on us . I remember when he had just #30 to buy two bread. He would give us the bread and sleep hungry . If your father is educated and has good job, the suffering would be less but mine had none but with heavy load, both from children and siblings

OP answer these questions honestly
1) Does your father spend his money on Drinking and smoking/drugs?
2) Does your father womanize?
3) Is he hardworking?
4) Does he provide anytime he has the money?
5) Does he gamble away any money he makes?

If he does not engage in any of those negative vices I mentioned, then the truth is that he doesn't truly have money.

Don't kill your father before his time.

Also, your mother's job is not just to pop out children. She should be very involved in training them too. Don't heap all the responsibilities on the man.

You have done your best by providing part of the money.

Shalom.

Bro my advise is if you have the 25k just pay it that man you called father is not ready to do it and pls don't hate him for that there are thousands fathers like that out there.

My childhood friend and his sibling faced same issue during my school days infact my father have to sponsored him throughout his university education.

Just pay the 25k for your sister if you have it please. Even our almighty Obj as rich and popular he is he don't pay school fees for his kids he tell his kids to go to their mothers go to hos close family to fact chheck wht i said. So calm down bro having such father is a nightmare they don't care, dem no send.
Re: How Do l Handle My Irresponsible Father!! by gratefulheart(m): 2:48pm On Oct 03, 2023
There are things that shouldn't be wash in the public. It is your family especially when it has to do with your parent.
Just do whatever you can do, pray for your parent for God's help and divine interventions but don't naked your parent especially your father outside. Every family have their own issues.

This is your trial time and whatever you say or do determines/affect your future...may God give you understand not to fail this test.
May God give you more grace In Jesus Name!

Let me tell you a small story.

When I started working, there was a month I have to send my whole salary home to pay for one of my brothers school fee. That month it's only God know how I survived...I trekked from bonny camp, VI to Oyingbo to work and back home for a whole month... I am no longer on that level.

Just help in whatever capacity you can and leave the rest.

And he simply makes it not his business at that point. There has to be boundaries set and he has to be firm with it.
Re: How Do l Handle My Irresponsible Father!! by Mom007(f): 2:56pm On Oct 03, 2023
This generation plays alot. Young man, are you sure you want to grow old? Do you want to prosper in life? Did you just open a thread on social media to insult your father and solicit others to insult him for you? The sooner you kids realise that there are spiritual laws that govern physical manifestations, the sooner things in your life starts taking shape. Funny enough you have admitted in your post that right from childhood you have always held your father in low regard, thinking he is small stuff because he is not dangote but you forget, he is your FATHER! It is your failure to give him the honor he deserves that has stagnated your life.
Down to your question. Even if you don't have 25k, y insult your dad? Send what you have with a clear mind and leave them to sort the rest. Make of this post what you wish... those that have ears will hear.

To me, you are very irresponsible to call your father an irresponsible man.

You are a grown man now, why are you not responsible enough to do all what your father failed to do, fool.

You are even doing POS

Your father is not running sway from his responsibility, the fact is that, he is getting old and less agile to engage smartly in paid jobs. Take up the responsibilities you know you can cope with my dear. But don't disgrace your father again like you just did!
