ApostleAnarchy:
U get sense at all? Why u dey tag slawormir with mods?
Down to business, most of this current generation's youths are generally empty of business ideas, social media freaks(unable to socialize in the real world) and are unable to interact with their environment due to this issue.
I know of a man whose father abuses him daily for not being able to drive whereas his father never gave him the freedom to do so.
In life, we learn primarily from our own experiences and secondarily from experiences of others but some African parents expect their children to have no experiences of their own, too bad!
That's how most youths grow up to be simps, introverts, incapable adults etc. My advice to any affected individual(s); no gree o, it's your life, obey your parents but also, learn to Know when to draw the line. Make mature peers and take charge of your life. The overly protective parents will one day, not be there to protect you anymore. In all you do, seek the counsel of God.

Parents Remember, too much of Everything is bad as they say.

You sef you see am make parents sef do jeje if na like this them choke dem we for no exist na

Chairman I no dey against following constitution fah but make e no choke me for neck

Good Morning nairaland.
I want to sincerely ask all the overly protective parents abeg wetin be una problem. I happen to be around a particular mother hen (Pun intended), whose overly protective nature is becoming too annoying even for me.
The woman in question has two boys (twins) and yet still would not permit them out of the house, and they are over 18. I am not against good parenting, the current generations needs it,but please it becomes a problem where one can do anything at all due to the parent factor.
Now back to the story, the twins are in higher institution already, but believe me the mother vehemently refuses to let them do anything worth while, at the time for their Post Ume Screening, the mother followed the Children to their respective schools, some may agree that the children are new there and other things, but hello they are grown already.
How can they grow sociologically?
How do you expect them to relate with others very well?
This same woman locked the Children overnight at a police station (Life Story), that one of the son went out for days. The guy in particular let's call him (K) was tired of home, since lockdown na indoor things, decided to go out and the mother locked the door, when my guy jakpa commot na there wahala happen, the mother waited for him to come back and gbam he land for police cell, and his twin (E) in the spirit of solidarity land inside cell too.
Another time the mother whipped K, this guy is sporting beards already. I went to the house this money to seek the mother permission to introduce the guy to one job, na wahala for there fah the woman no gree, I kuku carry my wahala commot for there, the thing is overly excessive.
Parents and Guardians here, train your children, give them a chance to be themselves, all the overly zealous and spiritual parents here, that can quote scriptures if a child is found wanting read Ephesians 6:4 and Colossians 3:21.
You are to correct and guide them, do not limit them because of your own thoughts and perception the child has his own life to live.
Before tomorrow comes and out of anger the child decides to cut you off, it becomes a problem for you.
