When Kindness Meets Ingratitude: A Family’s Painful Lesson

healthy family

I’m not trying to insinuate anything but you women who enjoy picking underage children as helps in your house, be careful how you expose them to their families. I have been saying it here that most p00r people are one of the most dangerous and wicked species. The moment they see the child is enjoying wealth, instead of praying for you and sending you yam from the village, they’ll be plotting your death.

I know what my late uncle suffered in the hands of his boys. He had over 20 boys working for him and I know what he suffered.

I was 13yrs when my mother got a help. She was 19yrs from Benue. My mother insisted she goes to school cos our family is a lineage of education. Just that this girl started school, dressing well and treated as family, her brothers frustrated my mother. They’ll be billing her and threatening her that they’ll take her. When my father returned from Germany years later, my mother downloaded the gist to him. Her brothers came again with threat and my father asked them to go with her that the family has found another help. Immediately these men started begging and laughing that no oh, she can stay. That day was when I knew that men actually fear their fellow men.

This girl graduated from secondary and was enrolled in UNILAG. I swear if you see this babe you’ll never ever know she’s a help. Worst is that she became a terror in the house. Like she became a madam. I don’t know how to explain this thing. We were the house maid while she was the princess. She’d always want to intimidate my younger siblings and me I no gree. I was a serious bone in her throat. I’d be begging my mother to send her away and my father felt I was a spoilt brat. That babe is a very wicked person. So mean! Can pretend!

This babe can lie! She’d falsely accuse us but thank goodness my mother knows us well like her palms. My mother started noticing her lies and shady behaviour and put an eye on her. Before we will say Jack Robinson she got pregnant. It was my father that even found out when he caught her with a guy at the backyard. And when he confronted her what did she say? I am an adult! My father was like what? You’re in the university cos of us and you’re telling me what? She said, sir I’m an adult and the man loves me, Infact he’s ready to train me if you’re tired. Omo my papa wan craze. Being a quiet man, he waited for his damsel. Damsel got home from her business trip and he downloaded the gist. Damsel was mad that why didn’t he send her packing immediately.

My father said no, you do not handle issues with anger. He sent for her brothers and held meeting and asked her to bring the guy home. Guy came and she was handed over to the “husband”.

Anyway, the guy later abandoned her with her brothers. She gave birth to a boy and even to have the baby, guess who cleared the hospital bill? My parents! Guess who begged to return home?

Today she has 6 children and has a small shop in Ekiti. She calls once in a while to greet my parents. She never graduated and that was the major pain of my parents.

Why this story? You’ll invest in them and tomorrow they’ll ask who sent you? 9/10 times these people are ingrates. No matter how much you love them and care for them, they’ll never ever love you. Protect yourself first.

Once they leave your house, NEVER accept them and never communicate with them. Block them and their families. There’s no good you do for them that they ever appreciate.

It’s so rare to find someone you pick from poverty that turns out to appreciate you. Leave these underage children alone! Leave them! Let them experience life with their families. If you love them so much, help from a distance. Even if you want to help, DO NOT EXPOSE THEIR BEAUTIFUL REALITY FOR THEIR FAMILIES TO SEE!!!!!

At the end of the day, do you!
