Your child is a little sponge, and there are certain things you should avoid doing in front of her – they’re less obvious than you may think…
Babies absorb information around them from birth. In fact, says Dr Lise Eliot, author of What’s Going On in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life, babies absorb information with their senses to both bond and explore. They are like little sponges and your baby’s brain literally doubles in size during the first year of life.
There are certain things you should avoid doing in front of your baby and toddler.
1. Curse
Babies recognise language from the womb. They easily pick up words and store it safely away in their memory files, and swearing is not the first language you want your child to speak.
2. Tell little white lies
These often trip off our tongue, sometimes without us even realising it. But try to not lie in front of your child. They are more astute than you think, and will catch you out. At this age, they also can’t tell the difference between a “harmless” fib and something more serious.
3. Scream and yell
It’s easy to get frustrated. Particularly when you are suffering from a lack of sleep, and are ratty and irritated. Try not to fight or scream in front of your baby. You may think they are too small to understand the actual words, but they do pick up on tone and your anxiety. Children tend to think that it’s about them, and assume that you are upset because of something they have done.
4. Undermine your partner
Again, we all have those days, when our partners frustrate us. But if you have anything negative to say, rather wait until your child is out of earshot. Also avoid asking your child to keep secrets from your partner as this demonstrates that it is OK to lie and undermine. Plus, your child will learn to play one parent off the other. Not cool.
5. Comment negatively about others
An offhand comment or a little sarcasm about a family member or friend in front of your child may seem like nothing. But remember, they are little sponges. They do not have the emotional maturity to understand that you are just having an off day and are not serious. And they may repeat verbatim what you have said in front of that person – talk about embarrassing.
6. Have too much screen time
If you want to spend time out on other activities, or spend time outdoors, you need to also put down your digital devices when your child is around. Be active yourself, and your child will follow.
7. Ignore your child
Newborns are born ready to communicate – and they do this through their grunts, cries, kicks and emotions. The more you communicate with them from birth and respond to their cues, the better it is. Plus, your baby learns from the time she is little that she is valued and important. In turn, this builds her self-esteem. And when your child expresses a negative emotion, mocking or ignoring her minimises her feelings. Open conversations lead to more bonding.
8. Show low self-esteem
It is normal to go through stages when you just don’t feel good enough. Hormones, fatigue and the general stress of life are all to blame. Your baby picks up your emotions and if you don’t feel great about yourself, your baby might mirror the same emotions about themselves. It is important to realise that we all have off days. There is no such thing as a perfect mom – but you are the perfect mom for your child.

I entered into my room and saw my wife moaning so loud to the big cucumber.
I scream!

The first words that came out of my mouth was “why cucumber”
She stopped and replied me with questions; “What did you expect when you my husband have a baby manhood size”? Or do you prefer I do it with other real men outside? She continue saying; do you think because you are able to impregnate me that is all? When last did you really make me moan as a woman in this house?
I am tired of complaining!
She stood up and left me in the room. I couldn’t move my feet, I covered my face with shame.
She was right after all. Throughout that week I couldn’t get myself.

Like 9.2k
A University of Ilorin female student (name withheld), has narrated how a man she met on Instagram drugged, had sex and took her nude pictures in a Lagos hotel.
Crying profusely while speaking with newsmen on Sunday in Ilorin, the lady said she met the man through social media network (Instagram), where the relationship started.
“He asked for a relationship which I was reluctant to accept but I accepted.
“I met him for the first time in Lagos when I was on holiday. He later invited me to an hotel in Ojo area of Lagos, that was when I met him for the second time.
“It was when I was preparing to return to school, so he demanded sex which I turned down.
“He promised me N15,000 and transferred it to me, we had a drink but I noticed I was dizzy.
“So it was when one of the hotel waiters brought a condom that I started to cause a scene before people came to my rescue.
“Later that day, he called and threatened to send my nude pictures he took to my Daddy, I was surprised how he got my father’s number.
“It was because of the threat that I had to go to him again to have sex and to ask him delete all the pictures but he again said he had video of when we were having sex.
“I couldn’t confront my parents because I was scared and told my pastor, so it was my pastor that reported the matter to the police,” the Unilorin student said.
She described the man as a devil who had taught her a painful lesson.
Confirming the incident, Kwara police spokesman, Ajayi Okasanmi, told newsmen that the suspect was arrested but escaped during interrogation.
“We invited the suspect to Ilorin with the help of the lady he was threatening.
“We arrested him and seized the phone which has the nudes pictures.
“So, we asked an officer to go and search where he lodged in Ilorin only for him to escape in the process and we have not seen him till date,” Okasanmi explained.
Okasanmi said that the suspect later went on social media claiming that he collected money from him
The Kwara Police spokesman challenged the suspect to come out and sue him if his claims were true.

That has got to count for something right?
Men who have had vasectomy have improved sex drive than men who haven’t.
