Regrettably, parenting can neither be delegated nor suspended for a while as we work for the ring of fame and fortune.
The growth of children is irreversible.
Like a young tree, it takes the bends directed by the gardener, so is the life of a child.
You can’t shape it in adulthood; you can’t pick it from where you left after you reach at the top in your career pursuits.
It’s always easier to model young boys (girls) than to rehabilitate grown up men (women).

If you have babies that you take to day care centres or know someone who does, please watch this clip and be guided.
Desperation is making people do all sorts to survive.
While you leave your little baby in the hands of a nanny or daycare centre and go to work, your child maybe rented to an agent who uses them as a bait on the streets to solicit for arms from unsuspecting members of the public. At the end of the day the proceeds are obviously shared between the daycare and the agent.
People who engage in such a heart rending act should be jailed as a deterrent to others.
How can anyone exploit such innocent children so callously leaving them under the sun and heat? The lengths people will go for money.

A lawyer had a wife and 12 children and needed to move, as his rental agreement was coming to an end forthe home where he lived, but was having difficulty in finding a new home.
When he said he had 12 children, no one would rent a home to him because they knew that the children would destroy the home. He could not say that he had no children, he could not lie, after all, lawyers cannot and do not lie.
So, he had an idea – he sent his wife for a walk to the cemetery with 11 children. He took the remaining one with him to see homes with the real estate agent.
He liked one of the homes and the agent asked, “How many children do you have ?”
He answered, “12 children.”
The agent asked, “And where are they now?”
The lawyer answered, with a sad look, “11 of them are in the cemetery with their mother.”
And that is the way he was able to rent a home for his family without lying.
Moral: it is not necessary to lie, one only has to choose the right words. Lawyers don’t lie… They are great!!!

The new librarian decided that instead of checking out children’s books by writing the names of borrowers on the book cards herself, she would have the youngsters sign their own names. She would then tell them they were signing a “Contract” for returning the books on time.
Her first customer was a second grader, who looked surprised to see a new librarian. He brought four books to the desk and shoved them across to the librarian, giving her his name as he did so.
The librarian pushed the books back and told him to sign them out. The boy laboriously printed his name on each book card and then handed them to her with a look of utter disgust.
Before the librarian could even start her speech he said, scornfully, “That other librarian we had could write.”
