Baby wipes all the way!

It seems as if the women that claim to have been duped by Nigerians never provide closer to their situation. Why is that?

@Poster,

I am a Non-Nigerian married to a wonderful Nigerian Man for the past year. We have yet to procreate; However, we discuss child training values and thus far we agree. I, being AA Woman was raised with the type of home you described in you post. We were to respect our Elders and respond; yes ma'am, yes sir, etc.

With that being stated, I can certainly understand you and your husband position in not wanting them to spend too much time with their cousins. However, one cannot protect their children at all times (as frustrating as that can be). So even if they are not with their cousins for lengthy amounts of time, unfortunately, they will still be exposed to such things in school.

Also, abeg forgiveness, but where do you reside? If in the US like I, it is far more difficult to maintain your/my/my parents moral fibers. The best one can do is what you are doing. Constantly reminding your children that they do not have to emulate everything they are exposed to.

As a child, I was ridiculed for the structure my parents maintained in our household. Yet, I then, did not care. Being different make one extraordinary, lol!

I hope this helps, God Bless You!
