African parent
<p>Every "African parent" disapproves of suicide. "Why take his life over something so little, ne? He should've told someone! Doesn't he have parents? What kind of friends did he keep?"</p><p><br/></p><p>They're the first to throw questions and suggestions when such issues are raised, very quick to blame the deceased, yet very inattentive to the cause of such repeated occurrences.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>They believe parenting is all about authority:</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>"When you have authority, these kids turn out good. You give them authority like the oyibo people and they become very rotten, don't you know?" - a typical conversation between mothers in a salon, church or PTA meeting.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Hmmmm....so because Emma freezes in place like a statue, fixes the mess you kept shouting about and tries to recall any wrongs he has done all day when he hears daddy's horn from the next street, you think that's the gold standard interpretation of "spare the rod, and spoil the child"?.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Mmmm? Abi the way 7-year-old Precious still gets solely blamed for mass offences, because she should already be setting a perfect example for her younger siblings? Wait... what's the thought process exactly? Traumatize the first when your energy is high, and still have her psychologically scarred by the rest as you get older? Lol, you may not even realize it but they witnessed and lived through it all.</p><p><br/></p><p>You raised them by the law, and made them adapt to seeing others after them being raised by grace.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
