Dayo Amusa cause uproar with her parenting advice
Nigerian actress Dayo Amusa recently offered some insights on parenting, cautioning against the tendency for parents to exhaust their entire life savings on their children.
Speaking via her Instagram page, where her advice sparked discussion among numerous netizens, Amusa highlighted the importance of maintaining a balance between parental care and self-preservation.
Amusa expressed concern that some parents prioritize their children’s needs above their own, potentially leading to feelings of neglect or resentment from the children as they grow older.
She emphasized the significance of parents investing in their own well-being and growth alongside that of their children, thereby fostering a healthier dynamic within the family unit.
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 the quality of time spent with your grown-up children and grandchildren…
I’ve had an Uncle who raised all his family abroad, died at 78 and none of his kids came home to bury him and give him the last respect/honor.
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 seem to cater so much to their kids that they forget themselves 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”
