NO!! The Ghanaian parent is not a pain in the ass — they are literally a “pin in the ass”. You wouldn’t know what freedom and independence is all about until you are no more a member of their household, even that, their frequent calls is capable of cracking the very life out of you.
They seem to have this insatiable satisfactory urge. If you do not know any better, you would be tempted to think they have been sent by Satan himself to torment you by shoving you right back to where it all started— HELL.
The way they can make your life a living dread sometimes leaves much to be desired. It is like they need us frustrated to exist. Their ambivalence is considered a result of old age though that do not make up for all the reeling trouble they subject us to passively endure.
I do not know how others were brought up in their homes and the sort of training and values exposed and indoctrinated in them when growing up but in the typical Ghanaian home where I grew up, there were certain character traits my parents flaunted so well that I thought they have been specially and specifically trained for that.
Take a moment to read if your parents or any parent you know falls under this umbrella.
