She had posted my good friends picture on her status, and captioned it, 'Happy birthday to my second Mom'.My friend was so pleased seeing her picture on my daughters' update that she called me, saying that she felt so proud that day and was showing it off to her colleagues in the office.
My friend has 4 boys, so she adores my girls.
Well I acted all nice and happy for her but nna meen ,the vex wey dey inside me, can boil egg.How can my daughter block me from seeing her updates???.
I started on how to handle the matter before I got home that evening by calling Oga at the top, I told him to just act dumb and not to add fire to the drama i would create...
He agreed but Immediately he got home like a staunch disciplinarian,he summoned her, and told her to bring passwords to all her social media accounts...
I took her to the side and told her that till she marries, I would be monitoring her social media accounts and that as a responsible child , she must be accountable, she's not too young to be on social media, but she must be responsible for what she posts and anything that her parents can't see, definitely aint good. ....Of course she had her own version of what happened, but all na story!!
We ended that drama with long hugs and promises to continue to be upright.
I doff my hat for our parents, parenting teenagers no be moimoi!!
When I was growing up, my big brother got involved in some vices, My father no gree o, my mama dey always cry, pray,counsel....
I hold unto Prov 22;6 saying" Train up a child in the way to grow,when he is old he will not depart from it.
Hugs to us all.
*Hmmm i dont see anything wrong with posting your friends photo nau...Jealousy!!!..lol
Dont mind me oh,i understand the feeling!!!
Hmmmm....its gonna be you against them in this social media posting 😂
ReplyDeleteStella the point is that she blocked her mom from seeing her status.
ReplyDeleteYeah not that she was jealous she posted her friend.
DeleteYou did well mommy, she shouldn't hide things from u especially sm things
ReplyDeleteGood u monitor her account, make one ijiot no toy with her teenage years.
ReplyDelete@ Stella...I don't think her jealousy was about the fact that her daughter posted her mom's friend's picture but for the fact that her daughter block her from seeing her WhatsApp status.
ReplyDeleteYou are right
DeleteExactly
DeleteLol Stella I think it's the blocking that really got her pissed imagine your friend calling you to tell you about the update but she's lost cause she can't view it. May God give me the wisdom to train mine when it's time kids now a days ehn.
ReplyDeleteNo Stella.She wasn't jealous because her friend's picture graced her daughter's whatsapp status but rather pained because her daughter blocked her from viewing her status. If her friend had not called, she wouldn't have known.
ReplyDeleteStella, Stella, Stella!!! How many times did I call you? Please go back and read the story again.
ReplyDeleteAbeg free her joor. Maybe you don't give her breathing space on SM. Depends how old your daughter is though.
ReplyDeleteI also blocked my dad on my WhatsApp status after I posted dat money should coman rape me. I know he wouldn't understand it was nothing, so to prevent further occurrences, I blocked him
ReplyDeleteStella it's not jealousy anything
ReplyDeleteThe mom didn't even know she posted anything because she has been blocked.
So many kids doing this, May God help us parents
Kudos to our parents, parenting is no joke.
But u cannot be controlling her social media until she marries. From 20 she is old enough. Did u ask her why she blocked you though?
ReplyDeleteThis Motherhood post is like a sitcom. I don’t think this is true life. All the stories seem scripted.
ReplyDeleteHahaha your own dey your bodi
DeleteScripted? Seriously? Go back to bed.
DeleteHug and kisses dont work for teenagers. She'll di wqnt sge knows you want her to do.
ReplyDeleteAbd she seretly do what she wants to do to satisfy herself.
She can get a secret sim, create a dual whatsapp on same phone. Add all her funky friends to the new whatsapp. And continue from last stop. While in the other whatsapl she'll post innocent pictures and family pictures.
For facebook, she'll creatr one with a stylish name n have her friends gist about nothing really.
Teenagers are a hand full.
My sister's samsung is still sleeping in my wardrobe till she gains admission. I'm tired of headache
I block some people too when I want to post something naughty. I wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of those I love.
ReplyDeleteYour jealousy and inability to let her express herself is why she blocked you.
ReplyDeleteTrust me if she wanted to be bad she would do it under your nose even with your monitoring.
Now your bullying will make her even more secretive. Clap for yourself. Madam monitor until marriage
My dear...I don't see any reason for this, allow ur children some privacy biko...if u dont want to , collect thier fone till u feel they are matured enough...u will soon ask whatsapp to be showing u everything she types to her friends...ur just allowing her to be more secretive like kwikwi said.i pity u, if she wan spoil she spoil right under ur big porknosing nose
DeleteKwikwi and Anonymous 15:32,did you guys read at all? Nonsense comments Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew 😏
DeleteChildren of this days self..
ReplyDeleteLol are you serious with the “monitoring her social media until she marries “ ahaha unless you plan for her to get married at 17 it so .... other than that Madame give your kiddo some space other wise you’ll might end up with something bigger than you ..
