Extremely cruel to humiliate a mother in front of her daughter like this. Even worse that this was recorded and posted on social media.
My mother used to sweep people’s houses and gutters in 2016. It hurt too much that I could do nothing financially to stop her. I often insisted on going with her, just to help fetch the water she needed so we could finish quicker and get back home before daylight. I didn’t want anyone to see us. The poverty that pushes one to hide their labour in the dark is a painful one.
Yes, that child should not be working. But more than outrage, what she and her mother deserve is compassion. The only humane response is to help.
If no one has done this already, I would like to take full responsibility for the girl’s education through university. I hope this eases their burden in some way. These are incredibly hard times.
Our Privilege blinds us in ways we’ll never truly understand.
I read a book on marriage and I will never forget a couple that came in for counseling over this submission issue. The wife didn’t like the idea of submission. The husband was withdrawing his love because the wife wasn’t submitting.
The counselor advised the man to love his wife whether she submitted or she didn’t. In fact, he should love her more when she’s not submissive. He told the wife to just “try” and submit. He understands it’s hard. But she should try. They both left the counseling room with a resolution to work on these things.
A few months later, they came back to the counselor.
Counselor: How are you? How’s your marriage?
Man: Honestly, it seemed like something changed. She simply just became a more loving and supportive partner. We are more aligned now and have not squabbled over submission in a while.
Wife: I noticed that his love for me grew bigger. Especially in times when I knew I was being annoying. He’d draw me closer and speak kindly to me. This helped me to see that he wasn’t the mean, controlling person I thought he was.
Counselor: When did your wife become submissive?
Man: Honestly, I can’t tell. I was so busy loving her that I didn’t notice the exact moment things changed. All I knew was, I worked on being an intentional lover.
Counselor: When did your husband become a better husband?
Woman: I just noticed that after our last visit, he became more patient with me. And patience is very important to me. It is one of my ways to know I am safe and loved. Submission to him came naturally.
Man: It does not even feel like “submission” in the real sense of the word. We have just become better aligned. I listen to her more and she now talks to me with respect.
I love how the Adolescence series on Netflix exposes just how much the world has changed today. Kids aren’t kids anymore, and there’s so much learning for parents and guardians to do.

When I get worried about the future, I make it a point to remind myself that God's plan is better than anything I have in mind. I constantly remind myself that everything will work out for my good.
