He's telling her I need you here
Don't go over to cause conflicts btwn those newly wedded couples


Ur dad is a great man jor

I'll answer this in another way. There is always a reason for their visit.

Comtrary to what most Africans believe (especially the older they get), respect is reciprocal. If your parents have any iota of self respect, then they should know that they have to earn and maintain your respect. Your dad is wise enough to know that that includes respecting your privacy.


Yes. Parents need a reason to visit their children even if it is just to see you newborn since she wasn't there for the "omugwo".

Wise parents know that their children's homes are their children's homes and they respect themselves.

Is your mum a troublesome woman?
Maybe your dad is trying to save you some trouble and since he is her husband ,she does answer to him in some ways which means he has to stamp her leaving his house for any reason-one that's acceptable to him. I would not worry if I were you.Your dad seems to be keeping his wife in check.

@OP: YOU are lucky

Your dad might know something you don't.

Your parents don't really need a big reason to come and visit.
If you haven't seen them in a while and you can't go visit, then they can if it is convenient.
There really shouldn't be a hard and fast rule for it except mutual respect which everyone should have for everyone else.
