Weekend engagement week 237: my childhood likes and hates

Hello weekend lovers 💃💃💃💃💃
Happy weekend, how was the week, God r bad we don pass am, na to thank God say we still dey alive.

Share a photograph of yourself as a young kid and explain what you loved about your childhood and also what you didn't like. Your own photos are essential

Growing up as a child in a family of seven hasn't been a funfilled one but one thing I had and still have is love, my both parents displayed their kind of love in different ways, my mom kind of love is the one that was worth admiring and I feel so privilege to have her as my mum, while my dad's kind of love was display in so many ways, beating, cursing, playing, abusing and even hurting still we overcome it and we stand strong today, so when I say it wasn't funfilled definitely it wasn't.

what I so loved about my childhood

My mom showed us a kind of love that is sacrificial, she will always go out of her way to grant to us our want and never has she beaten us, she will only earn us, of report is to dad for finally beating and she will still come back to tell us sorry after the beating.
She grant to us every good thing, yeah as a child, she gives you everything to stay happy: good food, good clothing and even good treatment. This festive period now, I will be expecting new clothes, shoes and you know rice and stew with plenty meat.

I love the fact that, my clothes were always clean for me, food cook even when I was a youth, I love the fact that I could easily play with my dad with confidence even though I still play with him now but as a child he would always give me everything I demand for, now he will tell me I'm married I should go to my husband 😏😏😏.
I love playing with my siblings this particular childhood game, we can't play it again as adult. We will always build houses, have our own children toys, cook for them, go to the market, wash their clothes emulating my mom and dad in our acting yeah it was always fun now everybody is grown no time to even come together and talk.
One of the most favorite of them all is visiting Grandma as a child that time and she will always give us money such benefit is not enjoy now oh.

what I didn't love about my childhood

What I didn't love is the BEATING this particular thing make us scared and timid in life, we couldn't associate well when we go out because of fear of my dad, anytime we hear the sound of his bike from the junction, my brother and sister, we will start running to our rooms and to our beds so that we will not fall a victim.
And anytime he comes back home, he will always find something to beat us and we will cry our heart out. If he catch you with a guy outside my sister just know that your end has come, he will use knife to batter your body and you will run from making friends.
Because of lack of association, I have to really learn so many things as an adult which I hate alot, things like communicating well with people, making friends, feeling I can do it because I am not worth it, looking for people praises to pull through in life all this including lack of confidence makes my childhood very hurtful because I have seen kids who from childhood were treated well, could associate and do whatever they want.

In all of this, I feel blessed having my parents as my guidance though we all have our childhood mark courtesy of our beloved daddy even our last born of recent got her own in her face. Looking back I still remain grateful for their training because if not because of it I know I would have turn to something else that I will regret all my life but now I feel so happy about everything.

We all like and dislike aspects of our childhood I think but whether good or bad they all teach us things which we can use later in life.
