Caruur aadan waqti iyo maskax toona oo hayn aduunkan ha keenin.Wadanki ehelki ba ku caawinaya, jaariada qabsan karta, mujtamici baa ilmihi toosinaya hadu wada khalad qaato.Laakin qurbaha, waa adiga iyo naagtada iyo daycare jihaad kugala jiro oo rabo ina ilmaha laga qaato.


Just use ur head and teach ur wife about birth control.Problem solved.
:up:

gabadh waxa jirta aan ilmadeernahay, oo xalay na so buuqatay, waxay leedahay 8 caruur ah! caruurta qaar bay guria kaga timid sababto ah van 9 qof qaada ma jiro, waxan ku idhi maxa ku cadibay, nolosheedii siday noqotay wad yaabaysa, bal ka waran adigu 8 caruur ah ku dhex jira, waba ciqaab aduun, waxay ku leedahay malintay wada waawaynadan ayaad jelous iga noqon doonta :lol: waxan ku idhi malinta waba malin aad doqowday oo noloshaadii oo dhan aad madax xanuun ku dhamaysatay! aniga waxa udhan lahaa maximum 5 caruur ah ayaan laga badin hadii la rabo in qurbaha caruur lagu dhal dhalo.
Mashallah, ilaahy ha oo hadeeyo.Hooyeynka somalida tacab ba oo dhamaadey.Ilaahy ha oo gargaaro.

3-5 wax ka badan waa waali.Werwerkooda ayaa ka daran markay weynaadan ee qofba meel ka baxo.Markay yaryar yehiin atleast gacantaada ayaad ku haysa.Laakin markay teenager noqdaan bay ugu daran yehiin.Kaaga si daranta qaarba xita waalidkoodo xuquuqda ay ku leyhiin garanen oo afka ku taageya.Adaabta yaraanta aya ciyaalka lagu bara, nin 16 gaadhay wax oo ka dhagaysaneyo ba iska yar.laakin waalidka somalida badankoodo markaas bay baraarogan. :down:

@ZubeirAwal: Such an idealist. Where is this Utopia you speak of? Wax maa idin sheega, aduunka side hore ma'ahan. The more you travel the more you realize that we truly live in a global village. Meel walbo aad tagto fasaad iyo fitna way kaga horeyaan.

I share the same sentiments as some of the previous posters, when they say be an example for your children. "Do as I say say, not as I do" maa soconeysa. You will see islaan cirka laga so turey, she goes from baady to baady, guriga maa fadhido 24/7 waxay ku jirta wareeg iyo waabo tiris. But she wants her daughters to be dutiful daughters who maintain the house.

In order to be an example for children, I think it's important to assume traditional gender roles, lets go back to the nuclear family. The father needs to be the head of the household doing the best to provide for his children ( in a halal manner), be the disciplinary. And the mother needs to tend to the flock when the father is away, midka qaloocan iney tooosiso.

The reality is we cannot escape fasaadka aduunka kaa socdaa. Even if you go to miyga yaa wax aad laa yabto wad arki. The only thing you can do is equip your children with the ability to decipher from the truth from falsehood. And leave the rest to the One who created them.

MissBonita I'm aware that the humanity is pretty much one big global culture but my solution is pretty simple, realistic and cost efficient. Invest in my home-country, build a home in the outskirts and live fresh unaffected by the madness of globalization. :blessed:

Parents from the US, UK, Canada, European countries and even folks from Australia have gathered to send their kids to Africa. Once they're all there, its pretty much the same environment they had in the west, except they have more freedom (legally too, kids drive on major roads with rented cars at 14-15 years old, no license). So it won't make a difference. What's going to make the difference is the amount of effort you put into bringing up these kids, nourishing them, and guiding them. The amount of effort and work you put into anything in life (i.e your kids, your education, your health) will proportionally reflect on the results and success you'll get from it.

Yet sadly most of these Somali parents never figured that out

Kids in the west do not believe its their responsibility to take care of you. If you get old, you go to nursing home and use your social security money till you die. They will then take you out of the nursing home when you die and burry you. So whats the point of going through all that hard work for them just to have them go about their business when they grow old. I would suggest either take your kids to africa to grow up there or have kids there at all. Waa qasaaro fawqal qasaaro.

It depends on how your parents raised you, I personally check on my parents twice a day if I do not see them that day. You can be a shitty parent living in Africa and have your kids neglect you in old age. The environment is tougher raise kids in the west, that much I agree with you.

I don't think you qualify to be called american born Kid. We are not talking about a kid who was born in africa and brought here no matter how old. We are talking about those who were born here. If you born in africa, you still have that african moral obligation.

Perhaps if the sole reason you choose to procreate is to produce servants then there you go. Seems awfully narrow minded of you to treat children as a means.

Wait a minute!!!!! and why do people have children? Its always for the expectation that, they will take care of you when you raise them and you cannot help yourself. What exactly is the other reason? So they can help the country and the race?

why don't you use your lateral thinking skills here?

i believe in you, for reals. you can come up with even a single compelling alternative reason why. tbh it doesn't even need to be compelling.
