ON APOLOGIZING

Who is left at home when children go to school? The yaya, if the family is rich enough to afford one; a relative; or the mother who pours all her love, attention and care for her children. If the child is male and the rest are girls, you can be sure that he will be able to grab the attention of not only the mother but all the close and far relatives, especially if he is the junior or the namesake of his father. 

Cory, having had a politician-husband, who was always busy outside the home could have done that -- pampered her son to grow up in the ways of the father, allowed him to get his own way, so that now, we have a president who refuses to apologize for what is a glaring mistake in the way the capture of a terrorist had been done. 

This question of "apologizing" should give us a lesson on how to treat boys in our family.
