When a trusted employee turns abusive, how does a mother react?
Television host Nida Yasir recently shared an unsettling experience about her house help verbally abusing her young son Balaaj in her show Good Morning Pakistan.
Nida Yasir shared, “During the COVID-19 period, I hired an educated female house help for my son. However, I came to know through my neighbors that she was verbally abusing Balaj."
When Nida first confronted her son, he assured her that he could manage the situation.
“I have heard complaints about you, our neighbors also told me that you verbally abuse Balaaj,” she told the house help.
The incident serves as a reminder of the crucial role parents play in protecting their children's well-being and the need for vigilance in the home.
Earlier, Nida spoke about the rules her 15-year-old daughter must follow while taking part in a panel discussion on her show, ‘Good Morning Pakistan.’
One female participant shared her concerns, saying: “My daughter is very fond of making reels, and she uses social media so much that now she is not even paying attention to her studies. If I prohibit her, she becomes rude.”
Nida Yasir replied, “My daughter is more than 15 but she is still not allowed to post Instagram reels by her father even though we are related to the entertainment industry and generally It is believed that people in this industry are liberal.”
She added, “We are from the entertainment industry, but we still do not allow our daughter to use social media in this way.”
Nida Yasir advised the woman that children should not be given too much freedom at a young age and that it is necessary to impose some restrictions on them. “Your daughter is only 15-years-old; she should not be allowed to engage in such activities now.”
She also suggested that the woman ask her husband to be a little stricter with their daughter, stating that “Children always need a father’s strictness in such situations.”
