The Day Your Parents Stop Being Your Parents
Let me say this….Most people don’t realize this until it’s too late. Your parents are slowly becoming human. Not “Dad the provider” or “Mum the protector” but simply two people getting tired, getting older, and getting quieter with time.
The same people who once carried you like you were the most important thing in the world will one day start hiding their pain so they don’t become your burden.
There will be a day your father repeats the same story, because time is slowly taking things from him. There will be a day your mother calls you just to hear your voice, because loneliness has started sitting beside her.
And the painful part is this….. You will be busy……Busy building your life, chasing money, trying to become someone. Meanwhile, the people who made you someone are quietly fading into the background of your life.
We talk a lot about leaving home and becoming independent, but nobody tells you this truth. Independence should never mean emotional distance. Growing up should not mean growing away.
Call them now…..visit them also sit with them without rushing. Because one day, you won’t be managing your time around them anymore. You will be wishing for one more conversation you didn’t think mattered.
Just thought of telling you guys this

I am making you a consultant for one day for my Front Row Rugby YouTube channel because I want your advice.

The truth! Pay the politicians commission based on their KPI outputs and see who actually does their work and get paid.

The apparent rejection of renaming of Graaff-Reinet after Professor Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe must be condemned. It is unfortunate that 32 years after our democracy built on reconciliation and tolerance of our diverse cultures we still have some groups who are opposed to nation building and cultural reconstruction. Standardization of geographical names is central to cultural diversity , spiritual healing and decolonisation of African heritage . Places which have offensive names remind those who were oppressed the brutal oppression and cultural subjugation. Those who came to settle in our land did everything in their powers to wipe out the heritage and cultures of the indigenous people. It is now time for all peace loving South African to embrace total transformation of our society and accept that some geographical place names must be standardized.

@TimesLIVE Because our “Nations” elders didn’t raise us properly. And now we also raise weak/lazy children. Good times create weak persons. People are weak and lazy! Hard times ahead Will hopefully create good persons!

It would make a wonderful sociology PhD thesis: why do we hate it when someone calls us lazy? ebx.sh/zzStcj
