My mother's teachings and beliefs helped me in life

Some kids wish for the day they would become adults and be free from their parents, they long for their freedom because they do not like how their parents control and restrict them from certain things.

I was one of those kids because me and my mum were always at loggerheads, she did not want me to mingle and play with friends and that is one thing I Crave and long to do.

Most time, I would sneak out of the house to play football and games with my friends and the moment she noticed my absence at home, she would search for me with a cane, this always made me restless because if she caught me unaware, some whips would land on me before I can make a dash and it will only get worse if she grabs a hold of me so I often tell my friends to be on the lookout for her whenever I am playing Pes and once someone sights her, they would inform me immediately and I would run away before she gets there.

The fact that I escaped the beating outside does not mean I am lucky because I have nowhere else to sleep...

My mum is fond of tricking her children, she would promise not to beat you, but once it is nightfall and just about time to sleep, she would come into the room, ask my siblings to go out, and lock the door on me, the only thing you would hear is the sound of the whip and me screaming and begging on top of my voice that I won't do it again but that does not stop me from going out again the next day.

The part I hate the most is when she pend the beating to the next day, normally she is supposed to beat me in the night, but for some reason best known to her, she might not come that night which gives me a sleepless night because I would keep waiting for her to appear only for me to wake up to a sharp pain at dawn, that is my mum waking me up with a cane.... Isn't it better to just beat me in the night so I can sleep peacefully than going through that torture of waiting for her?

As I grew older and my mate attended night parties, she would stop me from going and I would be so angry but I never disobeyed her when it came to that.

When I eventually left home and became independent, I had my freedom but I was no longer interested in going out and would prefer staying indoors if I was not working, The freedom I had been seeking became totally useless because I didn't make use of it, it is true that humans long for the things they do not have but when they eventually have it, they stop having interest in it.

I am free now, but mingling with friends, late late-night parties are not something I love nor am I interested in doing them. When there was someone ready to stop me from doing those things, I was craving them badly.

I am glad my mum stopped me from doing all those things then, and it seems her teaching really worked because If she did not stop me, I might grow to love them and when I eventually regained my freedom, I would be uncontrollable but her teachings and belief sticked with me which is helping me in life.
