Yes oo,mine I was a little late but immediately my son saw me the smile on his face alone light up my heart, I come dey do Camera woman snap pics left and right to make up of the late coming. God bless all mothers and mothers to be ❤❤❤❤
Yes oh!!! My nephew's open day, I had to represent my sister. You could feel the tension in the air,my nephew jumps up with a shout of:" That's my aunt,she is here,he rush to give me a very big hug,he rush back to his seat to bring all his books for me to go thru. After chatting with his class teacher and starting for a few minutes, I waved good bye to everyone and left. My heart weep for the other kids,who were still waiting to see if anyone will come for them. Madam please dance well well and jump up,it's truly a dance of victories,you don't know how happy he is to see you. ❤
God bless you, mama, I still remember very vividly as a child who was very and extremely shy and would never participate in any activities during parties or graduation. So one day, I summoned up the courage that must make my mother who had been comparing me and my mates proud, I joined the cultural dance, and practiced both at school and home....fast forward...the D-day came I told my mother to come and watch me too, and I got the answer that spoiled everything, "she said and I quote, so I go leave my shop come watch you dey dance, abeg commot for here" kai, all the courage was deflated, I forgot all I had practiced and I never went for that graduation, just went inside the house cried and slept off...funny enough she never noticed maybe I am yet to forget it, even as old as I am now, it is still very fresh in my memory.... Plz mothers, you are an important part of your child's life especially his or her development, support not only with money but with your time, your kind words, your motherly push, your hailing, and more... they help the child grow and develop well especially socially.
It is very important for parents to be present at every stage in their children's life. I remembered when I was a child, and I was made the queen of Great delight primary school, my Dad and Mum were all absent, on that my big day. Even on my primary school graduation party , none of them were present, although I understood the situation on ground then, that my Dad travelled and my mum was very sick, she couldn't attend the party. But the memory of that day has stuck to me and I can't forget how miserable I felt that day. I was like an orphan, as parents gathered round their children taking pictures, while mine were no where to be found. I was deeply pained, and I have promised within myself, that my children would not experience that.
Can you imagine a broken adult is not because life is hard, little money, economic blablabla.... it's that insecure child who piece by piece broke off because of such disappointments and now their bodies are grown but the inner man is trapped😢
I don't know why i laughed then cried.... you sent me back to my childhood and reminded me that I need to be there for the children the Lord has put in my care!
❤❤❤❤. This is me too,i dey run to meet up.The way i take his school activities personal ehn, because its very personal to me. I kukuma wear ashoebi with his class mate. If the dress code na camouflage trust me to appear in one.may the Lord grant us long life to show up in good health and sound mind for them always in Jesus name amen 🙏.
Reminds me of one family week in my childs sch. The pupils where to have a picnic with their parents. Some parents couldn't come and the kids had to sit with their teachers watching other kids enjoy with their parents and siblings. Even though the school provided refreshments for them, i felt so bad. They didn’t look happy at all.
Just what we discussed at work today ,how kids are always excited when you show up for thier school activities, infact it motivates them to perform better.
This one really reminds me of my son's pain during his graduation from primary school, when he came back that day crying so seriously for not seeing his parents present in his graduation. I felt his pain that day and promise never to miss out any of their school activities. 😢
Hmmmm it's happened to me ooo, it was a picnic in their school, I just managed myself to appear there with the food and snacks I cooked and very heavy with pregnancy, but when my kids saw me, the way they jump and screamed to come and hug me ehnnn, kai my heart melted with joy and i was glad i did ooo, motherhood is just too special😅😅
Hmmm story of my life o. Mine was Christmas party. My daughter said I must be there. Thank God I got there with my friend early enough. Infact, they were matching out to the stage when we arrived the venue. The smile on her face when she sighted me, was everything.
The children go to school at normal time. The event may start late morning or afternoon. Parents can't wait in school for so many hours before the event begins
Kai, this happened to me. My mum was to bring my cloth for presentation for me, she sat down at home discussing with my dad and she's dressed already, I had to trek down home to check what happened, see what I saw my mother doing, when I returned back to school, they had already round up, I cried ehm😂😢😢
