A LIFETIME CHANGE AND REGRET
When I was a little younger I was this hot headed teenage girl, I was never in one place according to my mum it's either I'm causing havoc or I'm not doing what I'm not supposed to do at the time although I never saw anything wrong with what I did my mum will always shout and discipline me. I remembered something happened one time when I was so angry at my mum and I was like
This woman please leave me alone, you own is too much.
That day my mum gave me the beating of my life when I say the beating of my life I mean she gave me the beating of my life, because one thing that is not allowed in my house is talking back at my parents or an elder, we are not saints we do fall short in some cases it's either we are pardoned or dealt with and made to promise not to do it again
Something happened one time when I was talking to my mum about something and she was like let's do it the elders way I was vehemently against it cause she was always saying the ways of the elders are right or better and I just shouted
Mummy everything is not always about you or the elders way just let's do it this way and see how it goes
I was expecting a slap first before the normal beating trust Nigerian parents but nothing happened and my dad said
For once let's follow the ways of the kids.
I was overwhelmed with joy and when it was done it came out well.
Then something happened that shattered my heart as in it broke me in pieces as it broke me. It all happened when I looked my mum eye to eye and asked her if she truly is my mother, the woman that gave birth to me and her reply was yes, i went further to say I'm not sure that she's my mum that I would rather be dead that she being my mum cause i felt she was mistreating me. Right there on the same spot my mum broke down she cried like a baby because of what I said, like I said before I was hot headed when I was younger, I'm cool now but 😎 story for another day back to business.

My mother's tears broke me I cried too although I was trying to be a defiant child at that moment but I felt pain and I resolved there and then that I will be a changed child for life no more of me being a rebellious or disobedient child, although my mum never said anything about ever again but due to my pride I didn't apologize to my mum but I felt it and vowed never to be a disobedient child ever again or let it repeat itself ever again.
See you tomorrow. Same time, same account, same writer.

You'd have slept outside if I was your dad. Maybe for two nights sef
Making your mom cry is another level, but then you learned from it. Did she really never talk about it though?
No she didn't, she never talked about it till this day
