These prompts are lovely. Let me drop mine now.
@temmylade, that one thing that adulthood slapped me with and my childhood never prepared me for is simply bills.
As a child, I thought everything worked fine for all the adults around me and so I craved to become an adult real quick. I remember adding figures to my age whenever I was asked outside by acquaintances. This was because I couldn't wait to become an adult.
But as soon I became an adult, I realized that childhood was better. I was shielded, protected and taken care of as a child. Many people have me money but now, it is by God's grace self before you see who dash you #1k.
Despite how I try to clear bills, the bills keep creeping up lie wild grass. I learnt responsibility but I wasn't prepared for the string of bills awaiting me as an adult.
This is one error I'm trying to do away with as a mom. I'm letting my child know that growing up has it's own level of a shackle called bills.
I'm inviting @ozd, @luchyl and @faithwellington to join the conversation.
Lolss... You are very much right ma, I once look at children exposed to responsibility at their teenage circle, learning one vocation or the order like they are less privileged that is why, but I never knew they are just opened up to responsibility.. you can check those people if you have any serious one out of them, they are doing well with their vocation today.. this life ehen, who no learn now no go learn again oo😄
Na true ooo
God will help this generation and upcoming one not to see their destiny moulders as their enemies.
Abi ooo
That's a huge prayer. Amen 🙏
This is simply wisdom rolled out in a funny way, and I love it. Something like "that road wey you refused to pass today, when the chips are down, you go pass am tomorrow" 💯
!BBH
By force oo.. good morning @luchyl
I dey tell you 😂😂
Life truly has a way of teaching us responsibility, whether early or late, those who started learning early are really enjoying the results now, it’s funny how what we once pitied turned out to be a blessing in disguise. This life no balance at all 😄🤣
The bills and responsibilities are so much that I just want to take a vacation away from them
Abi ooo.
But no running away at all
You get.
Patience is virtue 😂😂
Na so
Some sweet self pampered vacation inniit?
You get it
💯
🤣🤣🤣 Honestly, nothing prepares you for the number of bills that come with adulthood, we all rushed to grow up without knowing what was waiting for us. I really love how you’re intentional about teaching your child the reality of it.
My dear, I can't but do it so that she will be prepared.
Thanks and have a great day.
@chefqueen
My mom has been that one person that has shaped the woman I am today, she has been the most influential person in my life. Her love, support and guidance have been the foundation upon I have built my life. She is my role model, my has been rock.
She taught me to be hardworking, to be kind and to believe in myself and that with determination and perseverance I can overcome any obstacles.
To day am proud and grateful for the woman my mom has helped me become. I love you mom more than words can express, may God keep healthy and alive. Thank you, am forever grateful and I hope I will make you proud. ❤️🥰

@chefqueen, being birthed by one does not mean being raised by them. That one person who raised and shaped me into what I am today was my grandmother.
That woman was a no nonsense woman and that made her the center of my universe before I started having my own children.
Even in death, I still remember her and apply her teachings to a lot of things in my daily life.
You nailed it sis, be birthed by one doesn't mean they shaped one into what one becomes. The funny part is we think those harsh people then are bad but we realized now they are the true pillar of who we become today. Thank you for giving answers to my questions sis.
May grandma soul continue to rest in peace 🕊️
Thank you for your asking, we feel relieved when we talk about somethings
@temmylade
Adulthood has taught me to be a strong lady, to work harder and be consistent.
Adulthood has taught me that in any condition I have found myself I should not give up.
Adulthood really comes with its own lessons, it teaches strength, patience, and the importance of not giving up no matter what. I can totally relate to this.
Thanks dear
@temmylade This is a very powerful question.
From my personal experience o, adulthood has brought me into a place of responsibility kai. It has taught me to take charge of my own life and not depend on others the way I did as a child
(no more buying buying for my baby😄).
Similarly, my childhood exposed me to a what I called total dependency always relying on people to provide what I needed. But adulthood has shown me that life can be unpredictable. As children, we often dream of becoming many things, believing everything will go smoothly. But as adults, we discover that life can take unexpected turns...
More so, another important lesson adulthood has taught me is that growth is not always easy. While growing up happens naturally, maintaining adulthood requires strong discipline and patience. As a child, I did not fully understand these values, but now I know they are essential for progress in life..
Beautifully served meal here, I'm coming to share mine.
I will be waiting to read from you 😀
I have dropped mine, check them out.
I have seen it already 🤗
Thank you very much.
Adulthood truly opens our eyes to a lot of realities we never saw as kids, it’s a stage that teaches responsibility, patience, and consistency and I smiled at the “no more buying buying for my baby” part 😄 so relatable hehehe 🤣 Growth indeed takes effort and discipline.
Absolutely!
@chefqueen hmmmm, this question made me smile and shed tears. One of the most important people who have shaped my life into what it has become today are my late parents, though there are others who Are still part of my life till now. They taught me the ways of the Lord as a Christian and corrected me in so many ways that, at the time, I sometimes felt they were not even my real parents because of the level of discipline they gave. I didn’t know then that they were only trying to prune off my excesses as a child.
It was in my adulthood that I realized I used to have many flaws that they had actually corrected. Even though I haven’t completely overcome everything, a large part of me was shaped and refined through their discipline. Now, even when the storms of life, difficulties, and challenges arise, their legacy still stands, and I’m still standing strong. God has been helping me through everything they built into me.
Mom and Dad, rest on🥲🥲. .
Reading this gladdens my heart,we think our parents are wicked to us when we were still a child not knowing that they just don't want us to suffer and make the same mistakes they did in their own time, they have pass through that stages and saw the light, so they are trying their possible best not to let their children pass through those difficulties or when passing through it they use the right measures to overcome it and not the wrong one.
May your dad and mom soul continue to rest in Peace and I'm sure they are also proud of how you have become.
Thank you for giving answer to my question.
Amen.. but come to think of it, do you know this world is just going Tru same routine,, children of today don't want discipline at all, but their own worst pass our own days o😄
@tigrace
one decision I made till tomorrow I'll be proud of .... in the wake of 2017, I stepped down from my 20k paying job as a assistant supervisor to pick up a role as a pastry boy with a salary of 14k and hard labour , today that decision has fuel my passion and to expand on my experience as a pastry chef opened me up to numerous opportunities in the baking world
Wow.... These is a great news Weldon. Sometimes is not about the money but what we will achieve in the future. Thanks for sharing.
yeah you're welcome
As a man, people will bill you ehhh, if you like don't hustle
@temmylade adulthood has taught me to be prepared and do things by myself. Knowing that no one will do it for me. Growing up as a child , my parents always provide my needs and wants even my uncles and aunties give me gifts on my birthday. But now in my adulthood, i am the one to provide and take care of my parent and myself too.Because I no that nobody will provide me. And is left for me to work hard to do more exploites.I invite @ozd @kachy2022 and @wongi come join in the conversation.
I agree that adulthood comes with a lot of responsibilities. People look up to us, and we have to provide for ourselves and others.
Yes, you are right my friend.🤗💜
That's great 👍
This is just the sad reality of adulthood
Yes ooo very sad indeed.
@tigrace i have made a best decision ever that I am definitely proud of now. This decision I made was when I decided to follow my dream to study arts in the university. I came out successful and I did my masters. Thats what made me whom I am today. If I didn't decide to continue or further my education. I will not have been whom i am today .Looking at my N Y S C certificate alone gives me joy. I am proud of that.
That is beautiful. Following your dreams is the best congratulations 👏. Thanks for sharing.
thanks 🤝🏼🤗
You're welcome 🤗
@chefqueen I will not say one person but I will like to say two people who has shaped my life .They are my parent. Their encouragement and their prayers alone really helped me to be whom I am today .as I am their only child and a lady for that matter. Although I am in tears for my mom is late. I love her so much 🙏🏼😭.
Let go
@temmmylade adulthood didn't prepare me for all the bills I have to sort. Everyone expects you to be financially buoyant as an adult and to be well organized.
It's not easy being an adult because everyone looks up to you, and you don't want to disappoint them.
@tigrace, yes, I have a lot of decisions I'm proud of, and one of them is choosing my path in worshipping God in the right way and drawing close to God. I am proud of that decision, and I'm happy to become one of Jehovah's witnesses.
Such a good decision Weldon and keep it up. Thanks for sharing.
@chefqueen that one person is my mother, and I'm proud of who I am today because of what I learned from her.
My mother is a diligent person and very hardworking. She's also caring and kind. Her resilience and hardworking nature instilled in me the importance of working and making my own money as a woman and not to depend on others.
I invite @ozibaby @amara24 @iquo to participate in this week hot seat. 🔥
Okay I will join dear
Cool 😎
Yeah
Am joining now
👍
Ye
@temmylade
Growing up, I had to take care of myself from a young age, handling responsibilities that most kids didn't have. As I grew older, the workload increased, and I often felt restricted. I couldn't enjoy simple pleasures like eating what I wanted, wearing what I liked because your cloth style and shoe will be chose for you, or hanging out with friends. But when I became an adult, I finally tasted freedom. It was liberating! Now, I'm working to overcome the emotional scars of my past and embracing my newfound independence to live life on my own terms.
And secondly is Motherhood, Growing up I cared for many children, which sparked my desire to have my own one day. I thought motherhood would come naturally, given my experience. But when I gave birth, I realized it's so much more than just caring for children. Without support, it can be overwhelming and traumatic. Motherhood is a sweet journey, but it's not easy. The emotional and physical demands can be crushing moreso Motherhood often requires sacrifices and putting others' needs before one's own. It's a selfless act that can be both rewarding and challenging.
That shift from limited freedom to finally living on your own terms is something many can relate to. And yes, motherhood no matter the preparation hits differently when you experience it firsthand, it’s full of love, sacrifice, and strength.
@chefqueen
I can't say that I have one particular person that has shaped my life, if I am to pick a special person who has shaped my life it will be myself, and then God.
Because alot has gone on in my life that, it is just God's grace that has been keeping me through it all.
See not gonna lie, I just have been doing life as it takes me with God.
@temmylade, things that my adulthood thought me the my childhood has Naver prepared me for his taken medicines
As a child taking drugs was my biggest challenge and my sister is always there to help me out or my mum will prepare delicious rice for me and once I eat I believe the sickness is gone
But little did I know that in my adulthood I will wake up someday and take myself to the pharmacy get drugs for myself I'll say capital No. But here I am adulthood make me see things differently from my childhood
Am very happy for the way adult things change me.
I will gladly invite @sarahbaby, @mercy22 and @hopestylist to the conversation
As kids, we really believed food and sleep could cure everything but now adulthood has turned us into our own doctors, buying drugs, taking them without help, and still going about our day. It’s funny but also shows how much we have grown.
You're on point the first time I want to the pharmacy to get some drugs my father was hah my baby is gone
@chefqueen That number one person is no one but my mum. She taught me so many things that has shaped me to become who I am today. There's practically no personality I will portray now that I won't see a trait of my mum in it
@temmylade
Adulthood thought me three things that childhood never open my eyes to that is perental responsibility, perental care, and perental advice .
When I was a child responsibility was taken care by my parents infact there was a parental care, and parental advice.
But as I get to adulthood no more parental care again, responsibility are led in my shoulder and now I advice myself to the right part of life .
@temmylade
Childhood didn't prepare me for the kind of hustle I am facing now
@tigrace
One of the decision I chose that Iam proud of even today is the decision to acquire a technical skill, it has helped me today and even will help me in the future.
When I was through with my secondary school , due to financial deficiency I can't further my education and I made a decision of learning a technical skill that Iam proud of, for a better life.
Wow. That is good. School is not the only way to a successful life. Weldon.
@chefqueen
My greetings and acknowledgement goes to my parents and my teacher and mentor who taught me in my secondary school days. They are the ones who made me what Iam today in any aspect of life, academically, behavior and social, what ever good you can think about .
