Kid or Adult dressing for the youngsters?!

Hey Fam💞

Last night, my husband and I spent the night socializing with some of our family friends and having a few conversations. One subject persisted for a while, and I would truly want to read your thoughts about it as I was sitting on the fence on this.


Is it acceptable to let your child (children) dress like adults rather than as children? Since it's what most people glamour! some people thought it was acceptable and that it wouldn't be a horrible idea as long as it was done well and it suit them. While some thought dressing a child like an adult all in the name of fashion was not so ideal. someone said she still had memories of her mother dressing her up like a boy with her brothers wearing and co.(I totally understood this because that was my case). Or when those all-ready-made dresses were the in-thing. apparently, every other child had those and if u didn't own one it was like u didn't belong. 

 She went on to inquire about our children's current favorite "community" childhood dress-up experiences, and went as far as telling us how everyone had an aunt or uncle who would ask them to measure their shoe sizes with a broomstick!!!☺☺☺ she even remarked in her own words, "Those were part of the good old days." 


If you push me off the fence, I genuinely do appreciate kids with adult attire looking all "peng" and all. but on the other hand, I believe it's fantastic to let kids be kids so they may experience every bit of childhood because life is in stages and if one misses out on any aspect of it, there will be no memories to tell.


What do you think about this? Let's discuss this in the discussion thread below 👇


Even though what works for you might not work for me, life isn't all that difficult, it's still amazing if we can communicate well!

    When you say adult, every adult dresses differently. Some prefer to open their body and while some prefer covering their body. Kids emulate what they see. Kids now really want to be dressing like their parents or relations which everyone does praise for dressing well. In conclusion dress your kids which or whatever way pleases you as the parents and don't wear them what you won't like as a kid when growing up

    I personally dont like when a child is being dressed like an adult. There is time for everything. Life is stage by stage. A child should remain a child until adulthood.

    The most important part of dressing is for my children to look decent and well dressed. I might not unfortunately 'adult dressing ' in this post but all I can say is I can allow my children explore dresses as long as they're not exposing their body or dressing like rift rafts. Class must be maintained.

    For me dressing them their age is key, I won’t want to steal that innocent look from them. The goal is to wear them modest and stylish clothes that they look good / comfortable on for their age .

Simple things in life!

 It's the simple things in life for me! The most recent time I had rain was in 2019! I usually get visions of raindrops in my imagination after talking to my family back home and hearing that it was pouring rain. Apart from the drops she sees on TV, my 4-year-old daughter has never experienced or witnessed drops in real life. We are all aware that this year's high levels of global warming are a result of human activity, including rising greenhouse gases, deforestation, industrial activity, the earth's feedback loop, agricultural activity, changes in the sun's strength, etc. Some regions of the world—including the UK, Europe, China, and some sections of the USA—experienced heat in a tremendous way this year (2022) such that it never happened before. So when I noticed the cloud started to display symptoms of rain, it wasn't such a shock! Finally, two days ago, it rained "Cats and Dogs". The majority of us found it to be an amazing moment because we had reall

Tales often told about women.

 Hey Lovies,💓 We frequently hear tales of women or ladies who got married and neglected their own needs. Usually, we automatically leap to the conclusion that she became less beautiful to her husband because "oh she became too comfy or perhaps started eating too much."😕 Actually, in my perspective, those are correct sentences to some extent. However, in the instances where it has actually occurred, don't we believe there is a reason why this occurs?  She takes care of her own, which is a terrific quality in a woman. If given the chance, the majority of women would go above and above to make sure their house is a secure place to live. The husband and child(ren) are usually taken care of first, and they frequently neglect their own needs in the process. Even though the husband is older (In most cases), there have been instances where he appears much younger than the wife. Give a woman a house, and she will make it into a home, according to an old proverb. The precise mean

Welcome back message.

 I'm excited to be back.  I sincerely apologize for the wait. Life has been going on. Going back to work and adjusting to reality after the lockdown (what an experience that was!) was a little daunting, and we later learned we were expecting our second child (I will share highlights of that journey eventually). As we all know, balancing everything was a little too much. Being in the diaspora alone without having access to extended family and all the support that entails is interesting! Well, I'm back now.  I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone who supported, pushed, and helped me to restart this blog. It means a lot to me a lot. I can assure you that this time, we are going to have fun gisting, gossiping, and even ranting about different topics. I am excited about this new journey!
