Mothers listen very well stop spoiling the mind of your kids towards their father, you’re only doing wrong to your child’s mental health and they will grow up with so much hatred in them. Mothers needs to do better, you’re not only punishing the man, you are also punishing your child. Hate the man all you want but never ever instigate your kids against their father”
