Truth is, if there's a narrative I want to change in my home.

It is that of living my entire life catering to children like my Parents did.

Working and Slaving
Policing us to ensure we're in line
Sacrificing their all.

They barely had time for themselves
Our parents didn't even have time to PDA.

PDA!!!

When Tolu might punch the neighbors son in the stomach because he can't take a joke?!

Or Ada might burn down the house with a Matchstick.

Or your teachers complaining about your lack of concentration in class
A Dog bit me on the bum when I was 5, I ran home, had a shower and went to bed.

Couldn't tell my mum.

I was woken up with a slap.

She was in tears, A Dog that hasn't ever been given "Anti-Rabies" bit me and I took it as nothing.

She quickly dragged me to the car, crying as
She did and crying all the way to the hospital.

She was scared and afraid

I was given tetanus injections.
Got home, got a warm bath and she ensured I slept beside her that night

There are more and never did I see a slap here or a slippers doing at me there as Abuse

I STUBBORN
I intend to have a more fulfilling life with my Woman. So, less children for starters.

I'm a soft person, but I will discipline as I seem fit

Africa and Nigeria isn't there yet, a you have to do is take a look at the streets.

We're all struggling for scarce resources.
Some kids will always have a head start over yours and as such, wherever and in whatever way you decide to support your kids, you'll do everything to ensure you guide them aright.

Perhaps some of you need to read into the stories of some of your Faves

Kids owe their parents the responsibility to learn good manners, be honestly outspoken and to diligently go about the tasks set out for them.

Their future surviving in this world depends on it.

Parents owe their kids the stable environment, love and care to ensure they excel
It's a mutual relationship.
