How African parents act around strangers

[@Toriotu]

I know how the friend feels. You'll just keep on smiling no matter what the parent says

[@tall_queen_adodo]

Actually😂

[@anastasiadamian2948]

I actually feel it's a sign of respect that they calm down and entertain your friends. It saves you any sort of embarrassment especially when your matter comes up later on. Parents who "show their true colour" to their children's friends need to get themselves checked sha. Just play along. When the friend leaves, drop your two cents. Finish.

[@fabulousfavy6698]

Your friend will think you're exaggerating and will be like your parents are so nice😅😅

[@ofureotegaaigbomian1677]

Or they tell you how rude she was. And you should not bring them back here.

[@saadatushaaban3621]

I’m even confused whether I wrote this! . Your comment made me cry. I went through the same thing with my sister. Though I’m independent now I never knew I could one day chat with her .

[@michelle_talkss]

It’s how my father just finish shouting about sugar and diabetes for me🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

[@youtubecommentergal4346]

The constant, "No it's alright." is so relatable. 😂 Also the giving the friend food that you were forbidden or are limited to eat. I take advantage. Then there are people like my friends who have heard me say how strict my family are that they fear visiting.

[@oluwatofunmifatusi2545]

The moment the father was left alone with the friend was all 🤣🤣😂😂

[@HelenKKitchen]

I can relate, even some African mothers do it too 😀😀. They are suddenly very nice when your friends are around and some don't want to see you with friends at all. It's amazing the way our parents behave sometimes😂.

Reminds me of my late dad. Very welcoming of our friends. Beautiful, beautiful man.

[@Dashdelle]

I was just looking at your face through out😅. It's glowing

[@promiseadunoluwaemmanuel262]

My mum would be the one to do this.😂 Then after indulging my friend with all of those things and the friend leaves, she will start nagging over the kind of friends I keep - friends that watch TV and see movies. Something like: "so this how you and your friends watch movies in school ehn? I doubt if you all ever create time to read." Even though she knows I always end up with nice grades and I'm quite bookish.😂 I dreaded bringing friends home then, even though I've never been an extrovert with many friends. Now my mum can almost cry over the fact that I may not get a single phone call in four days and I do not talk about many friends, not to talk of inviting them home.😂

[@emmanueligbeka1222]

I thought I’m the only one. 😂

[@morrellem8942]

They create our future lives and are later surprised into what it turns out. I don't know if they think when you're done with school then you'll just develop special friendship attraction powers😅
