Family Respect

Here is  something I find disturbing

I know of a few people whose children calll them

by their first names rather than Mummy or Daddy.

Is this some kind of new trend?

Some Nigerians liveing abroad have forgotten that

as much as they love their children, they are not

your *mates*.

No wonder you hear kids reply with WOT, when

their parents call them, or they pretend they

are deaf. Children need love and guidance.

Let's go back to basics. Drop the "we are now in

London/USA"

You make  a Rod For Your Back if you do not

raise the children correctly.

Yes Be their friend but also remember you are

their Mentor and Parent.

God Bless Our Families

Well I think some parents do like it that way.For example if they have those kids when they were young or probably they do not want people to know that they are the parents of those kids .They might prefer it that way .
That is my contribution princessB. lol.

there are some culture which are quite un african this is one in a million  it is apseudomadness jingoism it shows parental incapability ,its also an height of african ideological insult when your siblings pretend that you non existent and you failed to correct this anomaly such parent will end up in a sea of psychological depression.

You took the words out of my mouth o.

How can anybody DENY the fruit of the womb? The gift that God gave?
To pretend the child/children are not yours, is a form of madness o.

If they want to deny, maybe they should think of denying themselves
sex, rather than makeing babies that now cause them inconvenience.

Some people have babies for the wrong reasons.

Parents who allow their kids to call them by their first names can still be good mentors and parents.
If a parent wants to be called "John" or "Mary" by their kids....thats no indication that there is a lack of respect in the family.
You`re just looking at it with an African cultural mind-set.
People WILL choose to raise their kids differently and others have to be accepting of change...and realize that there are alternative ways of bringing up polite and well-rounded kids.
