Looking at the way and manner that I suffered while growing up, I believe that I can make a difference for my own children if I have the means. Emphasis of - If I have the means. Sometimes when you look at so many people doing things they should not do and still pretend that they don't know what they ought to do, is just poverty. Poverty mindset has so much dealth with us that qe see suffering as a normal thing.
The topic for week 216 episode 2 says - Allowance. Should we give our children allowance or should we not considering the fact that we make provisions for them when it comes to feeding, clothing, schooling, housing and what have you. This is actually what most parents will say. We make every provisions for the kids. So what do they need money for? I also asked that question before. But now I know better and will do better. I can't deny that a child just because I pay his school fees will not need money to buy snacks on his way to school or when he is coming back.
Truth be told, some children have gone into the wrong hands because they were looking for someone who will help them with little change that qw the parents can provide. I equally know that there is no excuse for wrong doing or evil life style. All offenders must receive their punishment either now or later. So this is for you to know that I am not supporting evil. It doesn't also take away the fact that if we don't give our children money for their upkeep, we are free. No. This is our responsibility. That our parents did not teach us that does not mean that we can't learn it. Change they say is the only way that new things can come to us.
We suffered while growing like I Noted above. We should not let them go through that too rough road in life. I know of most of my female friends who turned into prostitution because of poverty. One died early 2000 because she ended up in a hotel. She was just after the money that comes with that lifestyle, but never took into consideration the consequences of her actions. I was just among the few of them that God showed mercy and did not allow me go through that way in life as a young girl. There was always hunger because our parents were not able to provide even the basic things needed to survive. But I have told myself that I will hustle and make sure that my children don't go through all of that suffering. At least the should have the basic things of life and a little allowance coming constantly. I know that I don't have much to give, but I am trying my best.
Ww still have children in the society that have all of that still they went their own ways. But I will do my best so that tomorrow no one will say that it is because I didn't try. You can only take a goat to the river, but can't force it to drink from the way.
