First of all, please accept my condolence for the passing of your dad.
I must confess, I admire your mindset about parenthood. Over here in Africa, parents see their children as their investments and always want to make every decisions of our lives (I CALL THIS LIVING A SECOND LIFE THROUGH YOUR CHILDREN).
Most African children desire to explore and question life more, but the fear of how our parents feel, probably the curses they could lay on us for not obeying their wills make most African children live almost same lives their parents lived. This is pathetic, but the live we face as African children.
You have passed stage one and are aware, this is good :)
I think the potential to 'escape' this is in education - if you have the opportunity, work damn hard go as far in education as possible.
Having said that, I am not aware of your circumstances at all, best of luck.
Thanks a lot.
I'm giving my all to educating myself to be best possible way I can. We'll change the narratives in our time, hopefully
Good luck to you :)
Thanks for your thoughts.
I think it is common in quite a few places in the world, perhaps more so where some parents rely heavily on the children to be able to provide for them in some way. Hopefully, you are able to find your own path in life and make different decisions to those before you.
