So I’m sure many of you have noticed while out and about that white folk tend to really cherish their kids, always hugging them and going out of their way to make them feel loved and appreciated. It’s a common sight pale shopping malls to see white parents taking the time to play with their young children while standing in line at the cash registers or pointing out mundane shit like birds and lizards in the parking lot whereas common phrases heard among nywele ngumu parents include “nyamaza” au “nitakuchapa”.
Si kwa ubaya but it really does seem as though African parents view child rearing as a chore or lesser priority as compared to Whites who view it as a privilege? More so if you’re parents were Baby Boomers or older and tended to have the ‘children are meant to be seen not heard’ mentality... What do you guys think? Is it merely an economic issue or does something give culture wise. I often see the term low self esteem being used to describe Africans on this site and I was wondering whether this has something to do with a lack of adequate nurturing?...
