Nigerian actress, Dayo Amusa shares parenting advice, tells parents not to use all their life savings to cater to their children, states why.
She took to her Instagram page where she has been called out by numerous netizens over the advice.
Dayo Amusa believes that many parents use all their life savings to take care of their kids without any regard for their own selves.
This leads many children to relegate their parents because they believe they are no longer on the same level.
She advised that as one is trying to upgrade their child, they should also put in the effort to upgrade themselves as well.
In her words;
“Dear Parent!!!
One mistake you should never make as a parent is raising your kids with all your life savings to eventually get so much exposure that they won’t want to stoop low to living around you.
Upgrade yourself as u upgrade your kids. Plan your future so you won’t have your kids too far from you..
Lately, Having all your kids abroad looks like an achievement until your old age sets in. That is when you will know that sending you money is not as important as having them around you… That’s when you will understand that life’s fulfillment is beyond money but quality of time spent with your grown up children and grand children…
I’ve had an Uncle who raised all his families abroad, died at 78 and none of his kids came home to bury him and give him the last respect / honour.
Men! This is not a matter of marrying many wives … It’s about being intentional with your old age plans… And if marrying more than one wife is your strategic plan, ensure you execute it with wisdom.
Parents seems to cater so much for their kids that they forget ourselves in the process…
Do not forget yourself in the mathematical equation of life…
Always put yourself into consideration… This old age we are talking about is nearer than we think…
YOU MATTER A LOT TOO 📌
May God grant us the opportunity to live long in sound health and more wealth.. #jmvwithdayoamusa”
