`Clean your house befor you die`

I have always believed that children are angels who if cared for can bring anyone up to the sky and if not might as well send someone all the way to the grave.

Many times in my life I have come across stories of parents who pampered and treated kids like eggs only to be disappointed later on as the said kids are now brats who can never assist them at the old age not to mention how legally they earn their bread.

Trust me people you don`t need to know what they do for a living because you probably have fallen victim by losing your money or handbag…. May God forbid!

Recently, however, I came across a story of a boy who did not want to go to school and is now hanging around in the house.

A long time ago his papa had enough quid to get their life going and managed to spoil the boy indeed.

The old man joined his maker a couple of years ago and now the boy goes around pestering his mummy wherever she goes.

Indeed so bad is the situation that the boy is actually following his mom even when she goes to the toilet. Want to know what he wants?

The title deeds of all properties his father left behind, not to mention registration cards for the numerous vehicles he left. News has it that the guy plans to sell all the properties should he get hold of the documents.

Of course he plans to invest with Tanzania Breweries in terms of drinking its beers though and not otherwise.

Reports have it that the mother is so troubled by the kid\'s behaviour that she is almost planning to surrender all the papers.

Dear readers, I have also come across parents saying they can never allow their children attend schools with farms because they don`t want them to perform manual work.

They simply can`t because that is a lot of work ``Why should they suffer with us alive bwana?`` someone will say.

There are a lot of options in this; either you let you child suffer now and grow to enjoy later or let them enjoy now and then suffer later when you are gone with the wind.
