”Our generation has a lot of work to do. We need to understand that being a good wife /Mom goes beyond cooking great meals and having a low body count. Being a good husband /Dad doesn’t just stop at being able to provide. There’s so much more.

Let’s say your father was a great provider – He paid for EVERYTHING – it still doesn’t make him a great father. What if he used his money to bully you , your siblings or your mom into doing the things that HE WANTED?

Or let’s say your mom was the best cook EVER! From Naija to continental dishes – she was the best ! But she was emotionally abusive to you/ your siblings and made you feel worthless with her words? Being a great cook does not a great mother make.

That’s what I meant by being a great provider / great cook isn’t enough . Why does there have to be a thread for some people to grasp things . *sigh*”
