THE COUNSELLED SPOUSE.

Lisa and Mike have 2 girls and two boys. They feel it is the responsibilities of the girls to take care of the home like waking up early, sweep amd tidy up all the personal rooms, store room and kitchen, cook three times  a day for the family, wash the plates, wash clothes and every other house chores.

While the boys have to "try to" wakeup and then do whatever they want through out the day.

Amaka and chioma, (Lisa and mike's daughters) have complained several times, of how their brothers would:

"Not lift a finger to even tidy or arrange their clothes";

"Not clean their rooms";

"Not wash a heap of their dirty clothes";

"Not return the plates they eat with, but stack them up on a table in their rooms like a major waste hill";

" They do not wash their plates after eating, hence, no plates returned or washed to be used in serving them food again, they cannot as much as flush the toilet";

"Keep their shoes well, or even attempt to flush the toilet when they are done with their businesses";

"Lastly, they cannot as much as fetch water for themselves but wait for the girl to do everything". (may even wait to be supplied their surnames)

Each time they complained to their parents, they would always get as response:

"These are your only brothers for heaven sakes, learn to love them."

"oh! You are a woman. And a woman ought to do all these."

"they are men jor!"

"Stop being a nag"

And so on, and so forth.

As life went on, everything continued as usual and the girl married at 19 and 20 and left their parents' house.

Being left with the boys, the first encounter of Lisa and Mike was when the Masters of the boys returned them with complaints "Please o, the way you have trained your sons, is such that they can only live with you. I know that as a kinsman, it is our tradition to train the younger generations in business, and later settle them. But Nna, I cannot imagine myself or my enemy to stay with your sons. Biko, find another person. Thank you o!". They would say.

Lisa hissed and told her boys to go in and ignore their ill-willed uncle. She felt nothing was wrong with them and he was only giving a lame excuse, just to reject them.

Days went into weeks and Lisa discovered that the plate basket was empty.

When she went to the boys to ask why, she perceived a terrible smell from their room. After a reluctant investigation, she saw:

-piles of scattered dirty plates on the table, -scattered dirty clothes on the floor and the bed, - Two smelly and rusted looking wet towel on the chairs.

- a horrible smell coming from their dirty and hairy bathrooms and her two sons were busy playing Soccer Games.

She screamed and switched off the television.

She instructed that they clean up their rooms if they ever wanted to eat that day.

This was the first, and it kept on happening but unlike the first time, the boys have resolved to ignoring their mother and calling her a nag whenever she complains.

The situation at became so bad that Lisa felt so psychologically hateful to her house that she could not breathe in the vicinity.

One of her daughters (Chioma) came ànd took her to her house to stay with her family and eventually, Amaka and Chioma built a house for their parents and employed helps, leaving the other accommodation for the boys.

Now, the boys are dating, with intentions of settling down.

The ladies probably saw them on Facebook or twitter, Instagram or even physically. They where seen Looking fresh with a smart  phone and a good diction, they swooned over them.

Dear Parents who train their kids to be walking dustbins in clean outfits;

Would you want your son or daughter to marry such a Person?

Would you love to spend your elderly years with such a child?

Would you as much as pray your enemy to be their neighbours?

Please, let us consider the future when making decisions.

When loving, disciplining and caring for a child,  please, remember:

-They are all humans.

-They will all have to live with others.

-In living with others, they will have the family honour to promote or destroy.

-they will have to be responsible to theirselves.

- And you also have to be accountable to having responsible children.

Parents, our society no longer needs more prayer points, more psychiatric homes, more health diseases or more irresponsible adults.
