for the love of our children
We all know that raising children is hard, and raising nine with little money is even harder. Here are some of the things that Mr. and Mrs. Jack did for their children:-
Mrs. Jack was very active in her children’s lives. She cared for them at home and also visited her schools to see how the children were doing in school. She knew all her teachers and her friends. She also evaluates each of her friends and decides which one to keep and which one to get rid of. She did this because she doesn’t want any bad influence on her children. In your area, people believe in showing me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are.
Another thing Mrs. Jack did was teach her children how to do almost everything at a very young age.
She made a schedule for her children, what each child will be doing at home at all times, based on the age of the child.
She also allowed her children to watch only the news on television on weekdays and to watch shows and movies that she chose for them on weekends.
Mrs. Jack also involved her children in almost all of her church activities.
SR Mrs. Jack loves her children very much, but she also believes in tough love. They praise and reward their children when they do well and discipline them when they misbehave.
The couple like to socialize with others, but be very careful who you introduce your children to, because they care a lot about your reputation and your last name.
One day, someone asked Mrs. Jack, why do you do all this for your children? She smiled and said, “I don’t want any of my children to be useless. I won’t forgive myself if any of my children get in trouble with the law or do something stupid.”
I can understand your concern, because where you live, society has zero tolerance for any child who is in serious trouble with the law or who is involved in any kind of criminal activity. For example, if you have a hundred children and ninety-nine of them turn out to be responsible and productive citizens, and one of them becomes a problem for you and your neighbors. Society blames you for what is everyone’s problem and nobody talks about the ninety-nine being good.
Another thing in this part of the world is that when your child does well, he or she will be our child. Which means that everyone will be proud of him or her, but if he or she is doing something wrong, it will be her child.
Society will blame the family, and the family will blame the parents, and the father will blame the mother for the inappropriate behavior of his son. Why does everyone blame everyone? The IBO community believes that the future of the child depends on the efforts of the mother.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that Mr. and Mrs. Jack’s nine children are all college graduates today. Some of them are doctors, lawyers, engineers, pharmacists, teachers and nurses. I think it’s worth the pain.
