Did your family make fun of you as a child?

i’m looking to know how this affects people who grow up in Nigerian homes - at home or abroad . One of the things I’ve noticed within Nigerian homes is that the parents , grandparents, aunties, uncles, they usually use poor words - abuses really - to address their children. Big head, trouble maker, bed wetter - ofcourse, using their own languages, which can sometimes feel even more abusive than those words said in plain English. Sometimes the abuse is not in words, but in actions - we don’t need to talk about the capital punishment culture.

Did you grow up in such a home? And if so, did it affect you and how so? Is it something that impacted your teen years and maybe even your adult years? I’d love to hear real examples.
