Because I work from home in sweatpants, my husband's family assumed I was basically a housewife with a side gig. During a holiday dinner, they corporate-lectured me about "contributing more to the family legacy" and suggested I take over the bookkeeping for my father-in-law’s struggling construction firm for free. My husband nodded along, saying, "It'll give you something real to do." I leaned back, smiled, and said, "The federal government currently pays my consultancy firm $250 an hour to audit state infrastructure spending. If I look at your books for free, it’s a massive conflict of interest. Plus, based on what you just described, you can't afford my retainer." Nobody passed the gravy after that.
Please pray about everything ! Your mood swings, your temper, your ego, your insecurities, your mindset, your self love, your emotional state, your environment, your relationships, your lack of motivation, your lack of execution, your attraction to bad ppl ! PRAY ABOUT IT ALL !
Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, a softer life exists. Let it happen.
in the eastern part of Nigeria I grew up watching kids with Down syndrome getting called “mbe”. They get laughed at, isolated, mocked by their school peers.
Their parents are constantly overwhelmed. The child and parents have to suffer emotionally, financially, mentally. But you, especially you in Nigeria is telling me terminating a pregnancy when the fetus has been detected to have DS is evil, Mtchew.
You lot irritate me pls
