With family should there be privacy? I get confused sometimes with questions like this because I don't know where to stand.
Welcome back my dear friend to this week's edition of hive learners community contest. We have with us a special and awesome topic for the week that says - How Private Should you be? Well for me I may see in differently from others. I know that we are all from one family or the other, but we still do have difference even when we get back to our personal families where we all come from. Do we all need privacy? Or should we just badge into one another just because we are a happy family? I don't think that it is correct. But let us consider some fact here.
I will be using how things works in my own family to give some examples here for the topic. I am a mother right? I know that I have kids and they are all blessings from God. But even as a mother who loves her kids so much, I still believe that I should be allowed some privacy at times. One can say but why is that so? M well my little answer is that I am also a human being like every other person. I need to be alone some times. I need to do somethings that I may not even need the disturbance of others. Even the presence of my husband in such situation is not appropriated by me.
For me this is the most important time for me and I usually need some privacy when it comes to that
- Whenever I want to sleep. Hahaha 😂. Someone might be laughing at me right now. But I am just been myself. I love to sleep especially in the afternoon and I don't need someone to disturb me when I just want to take a nap. When I was having my children I lost my sleep. What I mean is that raising my kids made me not to sleep so many times and it affected me so much that I was beginning to ask when I will start sleeping very well as usual. The answer was that it will continue until my kids are all grown up. Now they are all grown up and is time for me to enjoy my sleep. Hahaha 😂. Don't you think so?
- When I want to go on my personal retreat. Sometimes I feel like just been alone with God. Maybe just for refreshing moments or I may have something troubling me that I want to talk to God about it. In such situations I don't need any disturbance of any kind. I just want to be with my maker and hear him speak to me concerning certain issues in My life or that of my husband and kids. In situations like that I need some privacy. No body should come close and no one should ask me questions about anything. Just let me be for some time.
- Lastly one of the seasons when I love to have some privacy is when I am watching a very good movie. Hahaha 😂. This too is funny because I know that people love watching movies together, but for me I love watching alone because my children will just be making unnecessary noise and it will make me no to understand what I am watching.
In conclusion, I think that at one time or the other we all need some privacy. It doesn't matter how long or short. But when someone says that he or she needs privacy, he should be given some space.
