I will not tell my kids when or how long I think they should cry. 2. I will not expect my kids to smile when getting lectured by me. As long as there wasnt any eyerolling or glaring, I wouldn't care. 3. I will not spank unless it was a major issue. So, atleast I knew what I wasnt going to do as a parent 🤷🏾‍♀️😏

Having your spirit consistantly beaten out of you as a child is a Tradition in the Black American household. Abuse is treated as a normal part of childhood. Victims became parents and the cycle repeats itself. When a person is made to feel that Everything they say,think,and do is not only a mistake but a Punishable offense... it's no wonder we raise security guards Instead of surgeons.. bus drivers Instead of business CEOs.. government workers Instead of governors. Black people learn from birth to keep their head down, do what is required, and Not draw attention to themselves. And anyone audacious enough to do different we hate them for their bravery and try to Destroy them before they've barely begun. We learned from our Momma. 💔
