My Mom won’t just understand!
My Dad may still want to consider hearing me out to my last word but you see my Mom, she won’t even allow me to land before she lands on me.
Am i painting your picture right now or yours is the reverse? Let me tell you my own story
There was a time my Mum (Iya Micheal) won’t just understand that i haven’t started making that much before she concludes that i am stingy and not considerate. She will lash me with words and i will be like “Mom i am doing this job not cos of the money but...” and she will be like “don’t tell me that...”
It eats deep in my mind and always digs out sorrow because she has really done a lot for me and i know it’s very important i do more but not in this job. How do i make her understand?
What’s your own case? I know a lot of us hates the overt protectiveness aspect of them. You are like “Mom, it’s called cropped top! Mom, it’s just a friend’s birthday”
For me, i have always enjoyed freedom against over protection.
In your head right now, you might be saying “My mom/dad won’t just allow me” but let me shock you that it is possible she will if you can consciously create that mindset in him/her.
Parents will always put restrictions on children (or switch on the overprotection mode) until they now have a "confident mindset" that that child now does the right things intentionally.
When they perceive that you now have that independent mindset- a mindset that cannot be easily influenced.
How will they know?
They are constantly testing you. Besides, your relationship with him/her (or parent) is the greatest test of all time.
How much are you working towards creating the impression that you are now mature enough instead of saying that orally when in an argument with him/her (your parents)?
If your parents can get that mindset about you, you have just unlocked the freedom you want.
Well, i know it doesn’t work with all parents. Maybe yours is one but it is not an excuse not to be mature enough. Improve how you respond in crises; when angry; about love; about your career and your decision making most importantly.
Thanks for reading
Oh! Less i forget, to the parents reading this, i am glad you are. Please, kindly be part of the development process of your child. That “Overprotection” isn’t really working- it’s actually doing a bad thing to us. Allow him/her once a while but provide a guide to curb excesses. It’s not easy but you can always work it out- at least for the confidence of your child.
To every son and daughter reading this, you too will soon be a parent. Most times, we become what we hated if not cautiously uninstalled.
Now, i think my Mom will understand!
If you find it comfortable, send to your parents/children/friends/family
Thanks
