COMMUNICATE RIGHTLY WITHOUT INSULTING.
You see that thing that a parent will discipline a child and the another parent comes to scold the disciplinarian parent in the presence of the child and even begin to argue in the child's presence? Let that bad character STOP!
Your child will pick those ill-fated words you throw at your spouse and begin to use them. Gradually, vocabularies of insults will start dominating their discourse with their interlocutors at the slightest provocation.
In the first place, why do you feel it's right to scold your spouse in the presence of your child? No be juju be that? Children wey dey quick learn bad things? No na!
And why do some people find it SO EASY to use abusive words?
Personally I feel such people 👈 are very bad communicators because one can actually communicate their thoughts or clear a misconception without insulting anyone no matter how hurt they are.
Growing up, I don't think I heard any form of abusive word at home, it was outrightly prohibited!, 'You dey craze', (no be this joke one wey we dey talk now o). 'You're very stupid', 'God punish you', 'It can never be well with you', 'you're a pig', 'you're a very big fool.' To mention but a few...
Some people have bagged double degrees in the use of insulting words and oh, how I love to keep such people at arm's length!
Someone does something bad to you, why are insulting them?!🤷
Can't you just talk things out without necessarily using abusive words?
Come on, I know what it means to be hurt, but I don't understand the rationale of clapping back with insults!
Typing this is already too annoying!
Why do you insult people?!
Does it hurt that much? Discuss it amicably! If the person does not have the fortitude to be talked to amicably, let them be! Don't insult them! Stop grooming bad vocabularies.
Your children will learn such from you. Guess what? The mini version of you will do better than you! Do we not pray that our children should be better than us? 🤷
In a world where people are building vocabularies of various registers for effective communication, may yours not be insulting!😤
