nice article, I hope the upcoming generation learns from this,as for the old ones, they have to live with it, like the op said " the ship has sailed". most of our Fathers only knew how to father their children and were never dads. I will personally love my God sent mother more forever 2 Likes 1 Share |

Another major reason why Fathers are neglected in old age is Polygamy ( they marry more than one wife) Every body go follow him mama. Also parents,please and please invest in your future o. Don't trust anyone, even your children might begin to complain that u r a liability and in most cases it is because they are just starting life n not financially stable enof. Often when the children have become financially stable enof, the parents would be dead already May God satisfy us early so that our parents can enjoy our money before they die 19 Likes |

...'Father-hood' is a thankless job indeed .. ..Rather than playing victim here,Nigerian fathers and potential fathers should up their game abeg cos they are loosing it....They are not doing enough for their kids in so many ways i dont even know where to start...I have a gazillion true-life instances to give,but i will leave it for now. ..I am yet to see a responsible man who took care of his family like he should (WIFE included)..,abandoned by his children when he is old..Children are not fools,if you maltreat their mom,they will realise that and DISLIKE you thoroughly in the long run.cos such mal-treatment usually trickles down to the kids. ..I will end by saying in life...You reap what you sow..period! 14 Likes 3 Shares |

most men are irresponsible during the 1st phase the children needs them most. A woman can go to any length to make sure her children gets basic needs. Men should learn from that. 13 Likes 1 Share |

obikirinoni:My family is in stage three but there's nothing like mother or father or children having more power.Everything is debated and majority , especially after lobbying and persuasion and fights,carries the decision. I think it depends on how the family is set right from the foundation 4 Likes |

This is soo true and on point! i only love my dad because my mother loves him. Am sure he wonders now how my mother get daily calls from all her children n only call him when there is one issue or the other. I hardly even ever call. Young dads should really learn and take a que from this article. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Afonjanightmare:Your father is a responsible man. Thank God u said he trained u. I don't think anyone would hate their father for just shouting. You're lucky to have a good dad. It's not like that for a lot of people. So don't be quick to call folks stupid for not having a relationship with their dad. Take for instance the poor boy who's father beat to death in ph. The father had been arrested previous for burning the boys hand on stove. I'm quite sure he was doing all this to please his new wife. If that boy had survived and grew up as an adult, what kind of relationship do u think he would have with his dad ?? 23 Likes 1 Share |

PaperLace: Thank you so much. That it happens that way is due to precedence set by the man. The woman has a role to play also. This mentality of I will handle the children while you do your thing will not end well. Be a good man and they will feel the gratitude they feel for their mother for you also. I know people that don't Joke with their fathers. Is it jazz the Dad uses? Sadly I wish I could be closer to my dad but it's really difficult to forget how he threw my mom out left her to fend for 3 girls, came back to become a liability while still seeing her being beaten in our front. He is a happy and jovial man but I met him in ss2 for the first time in my life. He still went on and off, Happy go lucky KINDA life. Things can be better. It doesn't have to end up the way OP just described. Men and women should keep it balanced. At least understand the children are little adults with emotions growing and can be influenced psychologically. 10 Likes |

Only an idiott will neglect his father because he is too strict or did not console you emotionally, especially when he is not a dead-beat dad. If your father took you the same way your mother did, you will not be anything in life or atleast very unbalanced. Paying school fees is more important to a child's future than all the kisses and hugs. 9 Likes |

Great write up. Above all, a man should plan for his later years so he does not have to depend on the children. Besides, a man should learn how to stay alone when he is young so the loneliness at the latter time will not kill him. God bless all fathers. And mothers too. |
