Don't Listen To Your Parents. by SultanOfPuna: 8:54am On Nov 20, 2022
A lot of parents are old school people.
They have not travelled the world or experience what life is like outside Nigeria.

They have some ignorant beliefs
Such as Tattoos are evil
Dreadlocks are evil

Ignorance is a very deadly disease
Many of our parents are very ignorant.
They never grew up in the technological phase
The information age, they never experienced it

You have access to all information you need to build and shape your life.
Why listen to your parents old school way of thinking??

Remember in early 2000 when women wearing trouser was forbidden by every Nigerian parent.
That is to show you the level of ignorance and today you see that women wearing trouser is a normal thing.

My point is
If your parents don't like your hairstyle
Don't change it
If your parents don't like your dressing
Don't change it

Because old school parents are ignorant

Go to USA for brain surgery
You will see the top surgeon has a tattoo on his arm. Does the tattoo mean he is evil. No

So don't change your style or way of life because of your ignorant parents.
They are old school and are still learning
While you young ones have more information and are well exposed to know how to lead your life.

I'm very glad that the new generation is taking over. More power to you!!!

I barely “listen” to my parents, especially my mom. She has made worst decisions of my life for me. In fact she helped slowed my pace in life; I resent her so much & she knows it. We barely see eye to eye. Sometimes, I feel so much 8 for her that I’ve decided to render her “personal non grata” later in the future. Same with most women in my family. I think most African parents are horrible at parenting; selfish jealous and greedy. With their helicopter parenting style, they think they are great parents. Young man, if you want to marry, look at your woman’s mother.

So if she tells you not to marry the love of your life. What will you do.
Abandon the girl
I'm not saying parents can't advice children

I'm saying old school parents or the over religious parents. Those are the ones in referring to

Guys this is what I'm talking about.

Some parents are ignorant (not their fault)
If you follow or listen to them it will end bad for you. Because old school parents are still stuck in the 80s & 90s
They don't know how society has changed and the rules have changed too.
So following them or listening to them will lead to failure and stagnation

I'm sorry you had to experience such from the hands of your mother.
It's not her fault
Next time do things your way and if she tries to blackmail you emotionally then ignore her.
She will still celebrate you when you go your own way and become successful.
It's never too late

Hey OP.

The heading Is not the right words to use.

There are great, loving boomers parents yet very civilized whom you would want to listen to always and wish to have them as your parents In the next world. I am very fortunate to have met some of them In Nigeria. You will love parenting when you meet these caliber of parents. Unfortunately they are very few In Nigeria.

What we have In Nigeria are large chunk of Archaic and Deadbeat Parents. So I understand that Is the reason for your assertion.

Kindly don't generalize. Thanks.

Op, I think you were trying to pass a message but the problem is you didn't know how to go about it. But I quite understand what you're trying to say but next time learn how to pass your message in the right way cuz what you wrote up there sounds disfunctional, especially to teens on nairaland who don't know their left and right.

You can do better than this next time. cool

I apologize for generalizing
Not all paremts,are achiac and old school

But we cannot deny that 80% of them are indeed old fashioned.
The world is changing every season
The way you succeed in 1980, 1990
Is Far different from how to succeed in 2022

These set of parents lived their youthful lives without advanced tech and social media.
These set of parents communicated with relatives using nipost, post letters.

Information was very limited, no YouTube, no Facebook. No general awareness.

But you young generations were born and brought up in the digital age with an influx of information and knowledge at your finger tips.

80% of Parents are still trying to catch up with technology because they weren't born with it.

The youths have more power and exposure than the old school parents.
You are the future, you should lead your old school parents out of ignorance and show them their is more to life.

Forward Ever Backwards Never

Truth be told African parents and just selfish and greedy. They put only themselves into consideration when making so called decisions for their children. Basically they tell you to do what they want whether its right or wrong and not what you want. At the end of the day when you refuse or reconsider it, they'll say you're not listening to them.
