This smacks of inferiority complex. When a child whose mum is a caterer does birthday, his/her classmates may eat more than enough cake maybe without drink. The day of a drink dealer, they may have enough drinks but maybe no cake. The father of the celebrant may just be an importer of such products and want to use the opportunity to humor his child's classmates. 1 Like 1 Share |

@op,you are right about what you did. But it would have been better if it can be addressed with the school authority. Similar things used happen in my children school, it was causing unnecessary competitions among the parents, the school authority have to limit the gifts to be shared in the school to cake and drinks to return to normalcy. It is not about poverty. PS: FYI, I pay about 500k per term per child, it is not all about money as so many people are attributing the man’s behavior to poverty. 2 Likes 1 Share |

atiku4President: Please shut up! . Bla bla bla! You are the first person to raise a child, yeah I see . Children as early as 10 should have accces to video games, and computers. Its vital in aiding their education. What's wrong with the gift? Very shitty mentality In the age of technology the best thing you can do any child is to expose him/her to any technology at an early age, it has proved to be worthy investment and you are here saying utter rubbish 1 Like |

Finemoore: Thank you Going tru this thread, u will see a lot of unmarried young people saying he should accept it. They do not know what it takes to rake a decision as a man, and to run a family If youncannot afford it, you cannot join a social club where people spend 100k on Saturdays hosting each other. Because it will surely come to ur turn, and u will be expected to host others If you go to bar with your friends and people are buying drinks for everyone. If you cannot afford to buy for everyone, better say you dont want to drink. If it is temporary lack of funds, your friends will understand. But if it is such that you really cannot afford to buy for all yoir friemds yoi drink with, better stay home, or buy ur 2 bottles from Funke on the street and go homw and drink on ur own. Hang your bag where your hands can reach. Op, kudos to u. You are a man 1 Like 1 Share |

Shile981:So the problem is the gift? If the child had given daughter books worth 150k, would you want it returned? Beside, why couldn't the game be sold to get money to buy textbooks if that's what matters? I seriously don't get you. Lastly, can you explain what good morals the father taught his daughter by asking her to return the gift? 1 Like 1 Share |

Sebastine1994: You sent your child to a big man's school and at the same time, you are trying to isolate him/from from the lifestyle. You'll only end ridiculing the poor child. You are ruining your child's self esteem by making him/her an island in his school.Your insecurities/fear of being embarrassed when it's your child's turn is be-clouding your sense of judgment. Do you really think it's every single kid that celebrates birthdays like that in the school? Do you think that your child would be the only one who wouldn't share something or even celebrate their birthdays in school? The fact that your kid doesn't come home every other week with such expensive gifts should have made you know that it isn't a regular thing and that many kids don't celebrate their birthdays in school and your child wouldn't be an exception. I sincerely do not see how your action benefitted anyone. If it's that you don't want your kid to be embarrassed when he dosen't have anything to share during his birthday, well, you have just doubled the embarrassment by asking him to return the gift. You were once a kid like that, just imagine the how he'd feel returning the item. His classmates will make fun of him, he will be isolated in the next celebrations cause his father is afraid of not living up to the big man's standards and you've even attracted more attention to him cause his own birthday won't go unnoticed anymore seeing the drama y'all are putting. You put your child in a big school so he'd be able to reason beyond poverty and normalize some things that poor people see as heavenly yet you still want him to keep living the poor life even when it will cost him nothing enjoy what his fellow kids are enjoying. You're simply going to damage the kid's self esteem beyond repair. You're already sounding it to him that he is different/inferior so don't be surprised when he can't compete with the kids in other aspects of life too or when he grows up to be timid. Honestly, you were extremely selfish in that decision, sir. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Sebastine1994: You can see the real poverty mentality in those shouting "hustle ooo", "poverty", "why return gifts" blah blah blah. They are missing the real point (which is expected as most of them either aren't living comfortably or are not parents). The the real point of this post is contentment. If you are glad your child is receiving these gift and on your child's birthday you decided to share lunch boxes or less valuable parks, do you know that' enough to steer greed and inferiority into your kid's mind? These children compare gifts and if you don't repay in similar pattern, the other children will make jest of your baby and that could lead to serious emotional issues for the child. Teach your child contentment because the truth is you will never have all you want. For godliness and contentment is great gain. 2 Likes |
