Some people obviously m1stake gentle parenting with sp01ling kids. Please know the difference and stop raising d1srespectful kids, who turn out 1rresponsible.

Gentle parenting sets boundaries, encourages open communication, teaches accountability and uses positive reinforcement, while sp0iling a child is when you avoid discipline, ignore consequences, and give in to demands.🤦‍♀️

The boys are at the neighbours’, playing with her boy and making her talk hundred times in 3 minuites, so she made them play a game; lie down and pretend to be asleep, whoever talks, loses.

See them, thinking they are really playing a game. 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

I’m trying out the ‘no screen’ thing for my boys.

Rika: Mama you are add1.cted to your phone, and I honestly think you need this ‘no screen’ resolution more than us.

Me:👇

WE DID IT!

7 glorious days, SCREEN-FREE !

True true, impossibility is nothing o. 😂😂

My kids ditched screens for a whole week, no TV, no tablets, no phones! Instead, they read books, solved puzzles, played football, played basketball ball , with frowns, most of the time, but they did it, and then went to the the park in the evening !😂😂

This means alot to me. Breaking the weekend screen habit was the toughest part, but we crushed it!

God willing, we'll try and keep this momentum going! 💃🏻💃🏻

I posted a video few weeks ago, and I was asked where I got my Nigerian brooms from. This broom is in every African store here o, but while Nigerians buy it for sweeping their houses, Oyibos use it as an artifact, they decorate their houses with it, like, they stand it up like an open dry flower/ plant. 😂😂

But here is my gist, while I was in Nigerian, I felt more comfortable using this broom than i do with floor brushes or vacuum cleaners, so as we were coming to the UK, I wrapped one of these brooms properly, and put in my bag, but just before we left for the airport, I commot am, make my picture no enter social media as they start to search my bags. 😩😩😩

This is a plea to my sweet friends here.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Please, when I make a post here, don’t sh@ .re that particular post more than twice on your wall , sh@ re to your wall once or maybe twice , you can sh@ re repætedly on your story, WhatsApp , to groups that you belong to,( groups will make it even more visible) but don’t do that multiple times on your wall, it reduces my visibility. Please I’m begging you.

This is what I wake up to, every morning if it’s not a school day. Why do kids make such a me.ss with legos ? And the only time they rush to clean up is when I say it’s bedtime, so what do I do ? I tell them it’s bedside one hour before it’s actual bed time. Who else have these things scattered all over their houses? 😂🤣🤣

It’s ’Children In Need’ day and the kids are doing PJ or own cloth to school today. They are excited to wear something other than a school uniform to school. For me, I’m excited it’s Friday, this is the slowest week I’ve experienced since this year. 😂😂

Stepped out of the house to buy just black shoes for the boys, and my card slipped out of my pocket…result; these unexpected essentials, wey still dey house. 😩
