More Than Just A Parent's Job
In my country, school vacation is over, while in others, summer has just ended. What preparation are you making for your home and routine for the coming months?
In my country presently primary, secondary school has resumed it's session, and so is Most tertiary institutions in my country.
People tend to think, you have to prepare for just the juniors in primary and in high school, never thinking that preparation is needed for those in higher institutions, and i understand because most persons have already made preparations for their kids ( trust funds) but most persons like my siblings for example does not have that privilege.
Most persons even think it's easier than those kids in primary and secondary schools.
Having to prepare for school resumption is not just for parents alone, guidance, aunties, uncles and siblings are all involved in this training.
Why am I saying this, I have younger siblings who are in tertiary institutions (university)
Having no parents to take care of certain things has put more weight on us the elder siblings, having said that, the billing has started already.
Providing for both school fees and feeding has started already, the budgeting, calculating all that i myself need personally and catering for the others has put me on my toes.
Most times you even have to be involved in their roommate issues, sorting out disagreements between them.
