Giving in to advice can prevent hard I know, or I told you so. Hearing certain words after making a mistake and feeling judged is attached to the deepest part of our being. What do you think of this phrase? I told you so? Could you also say it to someone else?
Good day, beautiful souls. Thank you for dropping by my blog. This particular phrase I couldn't just think of saying to someone; I have actually said it to not one or two person's already. This particular statement aften happens after a regretful incident happened.
Read with me 🤗. So some years back, my cousin brother, who is presently in the university, his dad complain that the boy, his son my cousin, was always too active online social media, and he told the boy to stop being too active so he could concentrate on his studies.
But this boy didn't listen to the father's words. One day the father complained to me about the situation and asked me to help talk to his son. I called the guy my cousin to talk to him about what the father told me; I advised him to stop being too active on social media so that it doesn't affect his academic.
I told him he can come online maybe once or twice a week so that he can have enough time for his books 📚. But this guy didn't listen he remained adamant to me or his father, and the annoying part of the whole social media stuff is that this guy is not posting school-related stuff but some unnecessary things, like his dress and the expensive shoes, and advancing stuff not school-related.
And the dad got angry at him and promised never to support him again in school. And you know some of these elderly men don't really go back on their words. And that is how this guy lost every good thing he was getting from his dad because of his stubbornness; the father stopped paying his school fees and stopped giving him upkeep money and other things.
Today this particular guy is in his final year in school but struggling to survive; I mean, he begs his friends sometimes to eat. He called to beg me for money to refill his cooking gas. I sent him the money, and I made this statement to him: (I TOLD YOU SO) this thing that you are doing, it could affect your relationship with your father. If only you had listened to me, then all these couldn't have been happening now.
I could feel him crying 😭 in silence. I felt bad, i felt his pains, but there was nothing I could do about the situation, as his father refused to listen to all our pleadings. I know he is now full of regrets, and I pray and wish his dad changes his mind soon. Thank you for reading through.
