Annoying Things African Parents Do To Their Kids

African parents love to show their power in their homes. Something as simple as calling their children becomes a big deal if their children don't respond right away. Check out how we all wish things were at home compared to how things really are in an African Home.

When there's one fork in the sink and your mom starts complaining that the house is dirty.

[@YuhYus_]

preachhhh

[@smeraldadesire4572]

[@strawberryfraisier6446]

sauce my mom does that all the time it kills me i try to wash all the dishes before my mom comes home just because of that

[@AmosOdi]

strawberry fraisier But it never works they always find something.

[@strawberryfraisier6446]

AmosOD this is so true 😭 even if i have the kitchen nice and clean she complains about why i have my school clothes on like whyyyy

[@africanqueen552]

Lmao. The struggle in African home is real especially when you are a teenager lol African parents be treating you like as if you are a maid lol, And always be lecturing you for no damn reason. African parents are something I tell you. I couldn't stop laughing tho, Always hilarious as always.

[@saint-etienne3109]

amen

[@kidtheglobetrotter75]

***** yeeeeeeeah right !

[@adorethemua]

Every African parent is the same! They all say " you will see what I'll do to you" for the dumbest things, they always they make a big deal over water, and they all want you to be a doctor

[@adorethemua]

And also they send you flying around the house, get me this get me that, then yell at you to stop jumping like a frog around the house! Ah ah these African Parents o! I tell you they are crazy o

[@unknownnibba1250]

AcrobaticPrecious so true my mom ALWAYS say "you should be a doctor"

[@JoStylin]

I am so happy I have left home. I love my parents but boy, my blood pressure levels have gone down.

[@2012loveyourself]

our African parents love us hard but they love us the best.

[@nickybeckyk24]

Hehehe I can relate too

[@jackiemensa404]

I'm sitting her like few more months and counting and I'm free!!!

[@adeyinkus1]

***** lucky you i can wait to finish my masters degree and leave home smh#the struggle is real in an African house

[@YuhYus_]

lucky I'm still in my mom's house i have 3 more years then I'm out

[@snow959]

Every teenage kid from an african home had said this lines before, "i am going to leave this house" " i can't wait to move out of this house" lol.

[@sarahobaseki5608]

[@kreeAshun]

[@pizzagirl1360]

[@jeremiahk.4372]

YESSSS LOL

[@420sunlight4]

[@eijiro7565]

I can seriously relate to this, gosh the get the remote one is the worst

[@adorethemua]

amen. So true

[@peacetom8494]

kaneki jaegar IKR my father was just lying next to the remote and he told me to bring it for him xD

[@amechinwandu7907]

kaneki jaegar that remote crap is the most annoying thing ever, i remember I was upstairs in my room doing homework, and my room is the farthest room from the living room, and my dad yells at me to find the remote. then turns out that he was sitting on it... :(

[@NaijaLyricsTranslations]

+Sin of greed Ban I was just about to write the same thing. Parents asking you to get the remote when its right there in front of them is the worst D:

[@jomkrat4011]

i just had the same feeling

[@rebeccaclement32]

"why are you bringing me water in a bottle?" Oh god this is my life!

[@ellaRBLX-zn9mq]

i know why

[@aichatoucamara1155]

that's how African parents are

[@AustinLatteMan]

Lol I know exactly what it feels like XD

[@luizeoko-j1759]

I know right ....but it is like basic knowledge not to give elders bottle water unless asked the bottle water is asked for specifically I dnt know the reason why....Am Nigerian though

[@rebeccaclement32]

Luize Oko-j I learnd that at the age of 10. Now it is and must be common sense 😂😂

[@dayoadeoye3807]

He forgot to add the part where you accidentally give it to them with your left hand, and then they have you wait for them to drink It just so they can immediately hand it back and have you wash it

[@adjoabaidoo6545]

Exactly! My dad would look at me like I was crazy, but he wouldn't say anything.

[@KyranSparda]

Dayo A Why? What's wrong with left hand?

[@dayoadeoye3807]

+KyranSparda Apparently it's a sign of disrespect, I've geard a bunch of things. One if them being that in people in the old days use to use their left hand to clean after the went to the bathroom, so it's seen as dirty

[@BriBear]

I used to be left handed but my grandma forced my to be a righty.

[@renny914]

Omg same!

[@thequeen4188]

I can relate to this. African parents are always screaming at someone.

When the toothpaste or soap is finished and your African parent finds any and every way to revive it. LITERALLY they will cut the toothpaste bottle open and scrape out the remains and say, "IS THIS NOT TOOTHPASTE?!?!" Or they will fill the 'empty' soap bottle with water, shake it, and say, "IS THIS NOT SOAP? FOOLISH GIRL!" 👇(like if you feel me)

[@brandnew9834]

There is a LOT of ego and toxicity involved in the way black and African parents raise their kids. We laugh a lot of it off, but those experiences manifest themselves later in life. The idea that any parent is doing their child a favor by meeting basic needs (food, shelter, and clothing) is delusional. The idea that your children are your property, or your servants is toxic and degrading. I’ve seen people primarily in lower economic classes doing this. It’s as if on a subconscious level the parents are trying to compensate for the lack of respect or status that they receive in mainstream adult society. The parents have this need to feel superior to someone (goes hand in hand with extremely poor people who are also very prejudiced), so their kid will have to do. It’s sad, and embarrassing to see. I honestly feel bad for children who have to grow up with these parents. They’ve been born to parents who quite frankly cannot really teach their children how to successfully integrate into society…because they themselves don’t know how to be successful in society. Yet, they expect to be worshiped and deferred to by their kids. Kids who didn’t chose to be born into a difficult situation. Kids who never chose them as a parent.

[@MsJeremiah31]

This is seriously painful to watch. When there is absolutely no love shown to a child raised in this manner, especially in the West, it can be really soul destroying. To this day I find it hard to accept that Ghanaian parent can be so rude, self-centred and self-important and still expect to be loved freely rather than receive the obligatory honour out of a sense of duty and obedience to Almighty God. For me personally, I find it completely unacceptable. Let me clear, I refer to parents who behave as in this video without the mitigation of any genuine demonstrable love for their child.Does anyone else feel this way?

[@Prona45]

Hahaha Typical African parent!! & after asks why it's not on a sauce & why not covered!! I love this.

[@TheMetro09]

This was so funny.. thanks for making me laugh...
