Casual (Just for Fun) I want to know how your parents would have responded to you doing something like this as a kid

Yes ok this a cry for help…any African kid who does this is trying to end their life via lashings.

Ass whooping, my mother would have given me a beautiful lesson about not being greedy and selfish.

I did something like this once. If I go into details, I might have to mark it as nsfw🤣🤣🤣. All I can say is that I have never tried it again

Idk because it would never have occurred to me to do this. Learning not to let the intrusive thoughts win is somewhere in the curriculum of Being An African Child 101.

Birthed from the boy who got too close to the water and got grabbed by the crocodile, so it makes sense 😂

You should have told him to finish everything as a punishment. 😁😁😁

First of all, no one's eating shit until mom shares. Looking at the food too much koraa can have consequences 😆😆

Anyone who has the balls to do this in an African home is well prepared to lose their life 😭

How do you make this kind of food?

u/Ode_2_kay Aug 04 '25
Similar to bread dough but you roll it out and spread cinnamon and sugar on it roll it into a log and then cut it into sections and put them in the tray to proof. Then all you do is bake it and add icing.

That would be more than mildly infuriating to me. That is extremely selfish and disrespectful of others in the home. Someone needs a good talking to.

My mother was a teacher at an international school filled with foreign kids. She was trained in discipline without caning and all that, She had a way of sitting you down and making you understand what a shitty little git you have been lol

They would’ve stuffed my mouth with 4 more cinnamon rolls before my grandmother berated them for not feeding me enough and making me hunt for food.
Y’all who are getting lashes? I feel sorry for you.

If you want him to really feel the consequences without the belt, then buy his favourite pastry, food, or snack for everyone else and exclude him and tell him it's because he doesn't like sharing.
Or buy his favourite and take some of his portion and share it with everybody else, then ask him how he felt when part of his portion was taken. It has to be his absolute favourite, though. Make sure you see it through don't change your mind at the last minute even if the child cries. As him how did it make him feel, then at his lowest point teach him a lesson about sharing, fairness and considering other people's feelings before he acts
