Having kids really needs grace, Patience, and long suffering seriously most times i sit down to ask myself if i was really ready for kids because most time to me the drama and demand is always traumatizing to me.
How on earth will you give a child her demand only to hear mummy, i dont like it aunty calm down, you demanded for it na, what do you want mummy to do now, next thing she will start crying, i will most time ignore, beat still nothing come out of it till you met the new demand. Hmmmm
I will in somedays call my mum crying to her and she will say that was how i was when i was a kid so i should leave her grand children alone and take care of them, as in, things have changed o, the cost of things is very high unlike when i was a kid. Something we use to buy for as low as 100 naira is now ten times that amount o. Rice that was below fifty thousand naira is now a hundred and somehing thousand naira and a child will eat rice from morning to night, from January to december no change pf food and if you try to chnage the meal they stop eating and will be crying all through.
Planning my kids meals is very tactical and more demanding because at any mistake they will not taste the meal.
I remember a day i cooked indomie for my first daughter and i did not cook it with egg the way she likes it, i put it in her lunch bag and this aunty brought it back to the house the same way i gave her and only took biscuits with water, i was very unhappy and when i asked her she said: mummy i don't like it, Jesus Christ, what on earth do you like. Even this rice they choose to eat, you will have to cook it the way they love it not the way you love or feel like cooking if not i will end up eating it with my husband till it finishes.
Today, i prepared spaghetti for their lunch in school today, she eas so excited about it only for her to tell me after school that she want to eat rice and not spaghetti, hmmmm me like this i want my mummy o because this children is making me look unprepared o.
Good evening mothers, please how do you people with many years of experience handle this? I need help o
