Things Liberian Women do that are right!!

Now that we know about our negatives, let talk about our positives:

Ladies, ladies, we have talents; we have the fear of God in us; we have the business sense in us; why are we still living as a second class citizen? We need to put more time into ourselves. We need to stop waiting for our men who are working to gain powers and titles and lead ourselves to the promise land that God intended us to have. We need to stop tearing each other down, and put an end to the "crab" way of living and network with each other to help us succeed.
As little girls growing up in Liberia, we were never taught to love ourselves, they told us to LOVE him. They showed us how to love and cared for our children; we were taught to look the other way when our men wrong us; we are lovers and caregivers by nature, but somewhere in the mix, we forgot about the person standing in the mirror looking back at us.
We will take our kids to each and every doctor’s appointment but some of us can not tell the last time we were there to see about ourselves. We were the second class citizens in Liberia back in the days, we had no voice, we spoke of no pain, no sorrows; we did what we were told to do good or bad big or small all for the sake of one day a Liberian man would ask us to be his wife.
As wives, we do everything we were trained to do, except they forgot to teach us how to love ourselves as a person; they forgot to tell us we might not get love in return; they forgot to show us what an abusive husband might do to us. They also did not mentioned the price of motherhood; the price of divorced and that it is ok to leave when things are not working out. Our mothers forgot to show us signs to know when our little girls are also been abuse by our husbands. They did not teach us how to cope with the helplessness of knowing your child is been abuse and there is nothing you can do without losing it all. They forgot to tell us even as an adult, we might still be beaten, cursed at and even thrown in the streets.
How could they have forgotten to tell us how painful our "first time" would be or the wonderful feeling you feel when you are making love to someone you truly love. They only told us to "lie down and open your legs". Yep, that was the beginning and the end of our sex talk from most of our parents. Some will even tell you to close your eyes as if that supposed to make things better. They did not tell us that love making is a way of connecting two people as one and the feeling should bring great satisfaction.
They left out the part of motherhood that says when you are a mother that does not mean the child is yours forever that sometimes God wants His child back. They forgot to warn us of the pain of losing a child;
They did not share with us what problems money can bring in our marriage; they told us "the money you make is for you, the money he makes is for you" so sharing our monies is something new that we are learning to do।

THEY FORGOT TO TELL US THAT BEEN MARRIED MEANS WE SHOULD ALSO BE CARED फॉर

I firmly believe that not knowing all the right "facts of life" we should have known from our parents, made us to create all the wrong doings I spoke about last week.

Just my $.02 cents for the day!
Have a blessed week.
