A controversial opinion piece argues that many children grow up striving to make their mothers proud while overlooking their fathers' sacrifices, blaming family dynamics and parental influence for the imbalance. The post has ignited conversations about fatherhood, recognition, and the role both parents play in shaping family relationships.
Everyone want to make mama proud but nobody wants to make papa proud, including men. Why is that?
Whether figuratively or literally, it conveys the same meaning; a father's sacrifice means nothing because he performed his duties while a mother's sacrifice means everything because she risked her life and gave up pleasures.
Men subconsciously end up putting their fathers on a back burner because somewhere along the line their m0thers influenced them to only acknowledge her own sacrifices.
A lot of men don't know that their vvives see them as rivals. Their vvives low-key compete with them on who will be the çhīldrēñ's favourite.
The man provides for the family through his vvife, but she positions herself as the one providing.
The çhīldrēñ only know that mommy pays school fees, shops for their clothes, buys them treats, cooks for them, does their laundry, buys them toys etc.
What they didn't see was that, daddy sent the school fees because he was busy at work and mommy had the time, daddy sent money for the clothes and for Christmas shopping and treats.
How will they know when mommy is competing for favourites? How will they know when mommy didn't tell them?
How will they know when mommy never sent them to go say thank you to daddy?
Çhīldrēñ spend more time with their m0thers, it's natural. So, what she feeds them mentally, is very important.
Some of you don't know where the pr0blems between you and your çhīldrēñ started.
If a çhīld doesn't love the father, blame the m0ther. She is the middle man.
Most m0thers spent years brainwashing their çhīldrēñ and they grow up wanting to make mama proud
As a man, be rest assured that your possibility of marrying your enemy is 7/10.
So keep receipts, ensure to pay school fees yourselves, if you can't, it's fine but let your çhīldrēñ know that you do those things.
To men, remember, just as you’re making mama proud forgetting your papa, your children will equally make your vvife proud in the future despite all your sacrifices today.
It's not pettiness, over maturity has left a lot of fathers l0nely and deserted at old age. If your vvife has a pr0blem with that, it's because she already has a plan in motion.
