Name A Parenting Trait From Your Parents You Would Never Emulate by Nobody: 11:57am On Jun 17, 2018 |
Parenting is not easy and is something you don't learn in a day or even over years. You keep learning but sometimes your actions are taken notice of by your children. For many, it's an obvious preference for a certain child. This is easily observed by the other children. As offspring, it is our duty to see the failings of our parents and ensure we do not duplicate the same actions when we have kids of our own. For me, it's the singular act of comparing other people's children with yours. Citing other kids achievement as a yardstick for your children's is a big no no. This is one of the worst things a parent can do to his/her child. Fingers are not equal and that is why most children will never compare their parents with other people's parents. We tend to love them unconditionally. This irritating behavior can create an atmosphere of disdain around the house If you are a parent, please take note of this. Your kids will develop an unnatural hatred for you in the long run. My patience is my greatest virtue but I'm not sure exactly how long I can hold on. What are those things your parents did (or do) that you would never repeat to your children? 35 Likes 4 Shares |

None of my kids would go to school outside Lagos especially university, so i can visit them in school every other day and see how they are doing. I said that because i live in Lagos. Na only twice my people come visit me for university in another state, I free like bird, na street OT man use survive, if them dey come check me frequently it would have really made sense. 43 Likes 3 Shares |

fuckerstard:Part of the point of going to the university is to learn about life, make mistakes and learn from them, and more importantly, learn to be independent. I understand your point of view but what if you're well of enough to send them to the best universities abroad? I wish my parents could have. It's one of the things on my bucket list. 59 Likes 3 Shares |

Earthbound: Yes they would live on campus and enjoy their freedom, but with the state of this nation it would be unwise to let persin pikin learn the hardway. Who no like better thing, if i send them abroad I won't be too worried cos life still easy a bit over there for students. I would always find my way to go and visit them still. 7 Likes |

Can't think of anything right now but I want to raise my kids to be assertive. I want to raise my kids to have a mind of their own, speak their minds, stand up for themselves, and understand that respect isn't by age. 82 Likes 7 Shares |

Not knowing my friends. They never want to hear you have a female friend not to talk of her visiting. That didn't stop me/us from having female friends even tho it took us a while, but we just never bring them home. Getting to know my kids friends would be one of my utmost concerns. You can't go wrong there. You get to know who your kids are rolling with and a hint of what they'll be learning from their friends. 31 Likes 3 Shares |
