I have discovered that parents never say sorry or ask their children to forgive them in my part of the world. It is forbidden! A taboo!! Or am I exaggerating?
Okay if you think I am, do you remember the slap your mum gave you for the plate your younger sibling broke or for the sin committed by an unknown identity? Did she apologize when she discovered you are innocent? If yes, then she is one in a million because many a times, we wear the punishment like perfume and enjoy the pain.
Now that you are a parent, don’t be afraid to ask your children to forgive for the ways you’ve acted especially when we are wrong because we will sometimes be. It is not a taboo! Thereafter, find ways to reinsert yourself into their lives.
Your confession exemplifies the unconditional love they are to show their neighbours and the community at large as they grow.
