Why Are Most Parents Like This? by Promzy99: 8:45am On Nov 01, 2021 |
Last nite, I over-heard a heated arguement between a Father and his two female children. They are my neighbours, with just Fence seperating us. The father was insisting on the children leaving the house except if the children will contribute to paying the house rent and assist in providing food too. The first daughter, to the best of my knowledge is an SSCE Holder. She teachs in a primary school and in d evening, she would go to where she is learning fashion nd designing. My problem is, why would a parent be dependant on d children for survival instead of the other way round? Am somehow indirectly suffering the same fate too and so are many youths too. Is it not the parents who are supposed to set us up, untill we are able to stand on our own? How did we get here please? 5 Likes |

I wonder about this too and it makes me feel bad because parents should only demand from a child they know they settled and not the ones that they didn't even send to a higher institution or to learn a trade. 1 Like |

How old are they? Well.. it is wrong to be expecting or demanding so much from the children at this stage/age especially when they ( the parents) have not trained them to the level where they can independently handle certain financial responsibilities on their own. Even Anthony Joshua at his level, complained about the same thing some months ago. I could remember when we were still living with pops. He never placed any such demands on us even though most of us were already working and financially independent. He still bought the monthly bag of rice. Dropped money for food and paid the bills. All we did was take care of our personal needs with our earnings. Only once in a blue moon whenever his pension is delayed due to his visit to Abuja for physical screening, that we just buy the monthly bag of rice or do some house maintenance stuff on our account. Apart from that, he carried out his financial responsibilities up until we left him to rent our own apartment. Still sometimes, he'll buy rice and distribute to everyone in their cribs. Or send money to us. Ah.. God bless his soul. That man should be called to order before he pushes them into crime or make them to start living indecent lifestyle just to meet up with his demands. 4 Likes |

Solofresh2:after acquiring a university degree or acquiring trade skill, is it just enough for parents to hands_off? Are parents not suppose to even groom and sponsor their children till they become independent? Is a university degree enough to make a child independent in dis harsh economy of ours? 3 Likes 1 Share |

Promzy99:You are right but most of them always believe that when their children start working, they should start providing for them which is very wrong. |

this Life sef some parents does not want their children to leave the house while some are pressuring their own to leave. Lack of parental care and guide is the begining of hooliganism, banditry , kidnapping , prostitution, bitterness and hatred in relationship, early marriage , and child molestation. Am grateful to GOD ALMIGHTY FOR MY PARENTS. IF YOUR PARENTS STILL SUPPORTS YOU PLEASE HONOR THEM THEY DESERVE IT 3 Likes |

It's poverty and sometimes lack of sense of responsibility on the part of the parents. It pushes children to crime and indecent life. In the language of the boys....this life no balance at all. 1 Like |
