Parental Negligent

    He came back home completely different from the person everyone once knew.

I could see the disappointment on his elder sister's face. The blood that connects them made her happy he is back home but she wished he didn't come home this way

    He left home 6 years ago, he ran away from home because of how he was maltreated by his aunty.

No one heard from him, I guessed no one looked for him, nobody talked about him, maybe they all prayed silently that he should find his way home someday, and now, the prayer had been answered but even his blood sister is ashamed to introduce him as her younger brother.

    Everybody stares at him as if he is some kind of taboo.

He had his face all pierced up

He smokes and drinks

Nobody even knows the kind of job he does but it was obvious that he had lost his way.

  His appearance tells it all.

   Those guys on the street, the prostitutes, the thieves, and the kidnappers, how do you think their families feel about them?

        Probably ashamed to call them family

   Some of their parents spend their nights praying on their knees for them, though it is never too late for God to intervene, they've gone too far and just had to suffer things that they ought not to have suffered

   The truth is, some parents failed at their job.

The child-parent relationship had gone bitter especially now that the world is in a process of globalization, social media, and education.

It Is funny how some parents think all they owe their children is an education.

 Children of 18 years are Lords of fraud already, with no one to talk to them because they are shutting their parent's mouths with money.

How about mothers who go about raising their shoulders like a proud peacock because their young child who is still in school had bought a Benz without them knowing their child's source of income.

Some children are stubborn but some parents didn't carry out their jobs satisfactorily

   Lack of proper parenting is the primary cause of violent and aggressive behavior in children.

Some parents are rejecting, always unavailable, and unresponsive_therefor raising kids with low self-esteem and sagging confidence. 

Parents no longer have control over their children anymore because they are also children themselves.

Children are overly exposed. You can never eat your cake and have it. We cannot expose our children this much and not expect an after effect of this overexposure.

No parental guides on movies anymore and children are exposed to strange kinds of movies, uncontrolled access to the Internet, and no restraint on social media. A 10-year-old child is already on Tik Tok showing her cleavages.

Oh, parents are failing and I wonder what the next generation will become if we don't rise and do all we can to be better parents.

We need to stop blaming the government because the laws didn't compel us to bring children into the world.

We must be ready to take full responsibility for our children and we start today even though we are singles or parents.

The next generation will be trained by parents and not children

Stay with us throughout this month and we shall be learning how we can be better parents to the children we already have and the ones we are going to bring to this perverse world.
