We don't discriminate, we just don't like you.

We talk about racism and throw stones while shouting and crying but today I met a situation that still has got me thinking.

What do parents want for or from their children?
Parents will say All THESE THINGS DON'T MATTER but wait until you're ready to settle down.

When my hubby went to ask for my hand in marriage, my Uncle's insisted that hubby must buy two cows or else no wedding.
Today I spoke with a lady whom a guy I know was truly in love with and was ready to settle down. Parents rejected him but accepted a guy who they weren't sure of his status yet citing that they didn't like the city he was living in, or how busy his work schedule is and some more flimpsy reasons without care as to the happiness and protection of the future of their daughter.

Most parents live vicariously through their children.
My Mummy doesn't like this.
My Daddy said ABC ...
A friend recently filed for divorce because his wife left due to serious parental interference.

Is it about what the parents want?
What Uncles and Aunties have decided?
What friends perceive?
How about the 19 years old whose parents hurriedly married off because she was in final year and according to them, they didn't want her eyes to tear and she'd become wayward.
Tomorrow these children will sit and curse their families for the crazy interference in their lives.

We say we love everyone but when the chips are down the ugly head of the funny things we believe begins to show.
God help us lead our children right as parents.

Did I just hear crrrrraaacccck? Dear Lord please please let this cup pass over me As I fell down the stair, bodily harm was the very least of my concerns  You know how much it cost me I deprived myself of alot of things I was hurrying to pick something outside The new Samsung phone I just got last week was in my back pocket When forces of darkness pushed me and I fell down a stair How else can one explain this if not enemies that are after my life? My mind was already calculating the cost of changing screen Hey God! You know I've been a good and kind person from childhood  Don't allow this evil happen to your child Your beloved obedient daughter A silent tear ran down my cheek as I slowly lifted myself off the floor  I was on my feet but It felt like I had spaghetti for legs My stomach was doing a million flip Gently, very gently I brought out the phone Heeeeyyyyyyyyyy it was the phone case that cracked My miracle working God showed up strong for me Headed straight
