Good morning everyone. How are you doing today?
I'm not doing badly either.
I welcome everyone to my blog. I want to share yesterday's experience with you on what I title: Mothers should not run away from their responsibility.
I have my reasons for writing this. So many ill things are going on in our society, and we, as children, have been badly affected by it. And sometimes, our parents do not know what they've caused us.
Some years ago, there was a married man who lived close to our residence. He married a beautiful lady who was about thirty-five years of age.

She was a chef, and her husband was a civil servant. I always admired them because they do behave like a brother and a sister. The first time I saw them, I thought they were from the same parents, not until someone told me, they were couples, and I was shocked.
They go to the market together, and they do the cooking together. Each time they asked me to come over to their house and help them with some home chores, I couldn't resist because their lives were worth emulating.
So after six years of marriage, God gave them a beautiful baby girl. She looked so adorable, and people were always eager to carry her in their arms.
So as she grew up, she started learning certain things from her parents. And they took proper care of her, and everyone could attest to it.
So something happened when the baby was two years of age. Her mother needed money since she had not made sales for over one month. Her husband was the one feeding the family and it's not as if he was complaining.
So, since she couldn't sort out money from her business, she decided to approach her husband. She told him what she demanded from him. But her husband was sincere enough to tell her that he didn't have any money with him. He asked her to wait till she was paid.
She kept mute and left her husband without uttering a single word. So the following morning, her husband left for work, and she dropped the baby in another woman's care, telling her to relate to her husband that she was done with him.
She was too fast to forget everything the man had done for her, even though she was also fending for herself.
She left just like that, and when I saw her a few months ago, she wasn't doing too well.
The man started nursing his daughter, all by himself. Some days, he does go to work very late, but he makes sure that he doesn't give her to anyone.
Each time I see him, I always encourage him to continue doing what he knows is good for a father to do for his daughter. She grew up loving her father because he was the only person she knew, and that helped her a lot.
So yesterday, I saw him and his daughter; she had grown so big beyond my recognition. I was so excited that she survived despite her mother's absence.
In conclusion, please our mothers, never run away from your responsibility. Your child is your responsibility.
If you run away from him or him, who will teach them? Who would tell them what to do and what they're not to do?
Never let your children suffer for something they know nothing about. And secondly, as a wife, please learn to understand your husband. If he says he doesn't have money with him, please believe him.
Thank you for your time.
I remain your favorite girl @ joyben.
