Dear parent,

Welcome to a new week

Permit me to ask this question respectfully, what are you normalizing in your home?

If you have to disrespect your spouse and undermine them to prove to your children that you are a better or more present parent just because you are divorced, separated, or have different parenting approaches, what have you achieved?

If you have to talk down at a spouse or be flippant in your response because of a mistake they've made for instance because he or she didn't get the children ready on time for school or other events, because you want them to learn punctuality, what exactly have you achieved?

If you have to scream, yell, and hit your children to get them to do the right things, and they get the job done eventually, what do you think you've achieved?

Hear this today, nothing good comes out of chaos except fear, shame, resentment, and 'forced' obedience. It may look good on the outside, but underneath is a rot.

Nothing respectively comes out of demeaning other people, truth, it's permission for your child to disrespect you and others in the future.

If we are to raise decent people, then we need to STOP normalizing being so disrespectful, especially in AFRICAN homes.

Good morning my neighbours.
