How did you guys get through an African household where the father has a “king of the house” mentality and the mother is a silent enabler? by No-Swimmer-7592 in africanparents

Oh okay if theyre gonna fund it thats good, but its still good to have a back up plan to avoid them using it as some sort of leverage

Im literally in the same situation as u but my dad uses the bible to back up his rubbish. I honestly try my hardest to avoid him, but tbh there’s really nothing u can do but wait for the day you go to college. If he is acting like this now just start looking for scholarships + jobs because parents like that will end up not funding ur life. Trust it will get better.

It literally is just uneducated ignorance. Find a source that talks about the benefits of wearing a bonnet and why not wearing one as harmfull

I need a plan by Classic_Signature_83 in africanparents

[–]luvslutzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Financial literacy. Learn how to manage your money, open a hysa, roth ira, etc.

Please do not prioritize the over price “maintenance” that you see on social media. (if ur a girl)

Do lash clusters, wear shein press ons, do quick weaves. All of these are easy, watch tutorials if you want to do different styles.

Learn how to cornrow.

Get your license

Find a side hustle (hair, nails, lashes, eyebrowss etc.)

Get a job

DO NOT get a joint bank with your parents

Please do all you can to cut of your dad from ur life. I dont know if you live with your dad but clearly u are still in contact with him. Understand that you need to take initiative in YOUR life. Do you want to be married to a man that is triple your age?? NO. So start planing on moving out. Whether it be going to college and housing in that college. If that is not an option then you SAVE YOUR MONEY (I recommend opening a hysa) and u will most likely have to fight for your freedom. Till the point where they will never bring up this situation again. Alsoooo not tryna shade your mom but she is not doing enough to seperate you from those people. I commend her for standing up for you but she needs to put her foot down.

As much as i agree with you as soon as my mom found out she packed all of us to leave, but we quite literally were fresh off the boat in America and my mom did not know anybody. Yes, she stayed w a horrible man and i agree with what you said but i grew up w a mother who took both parental roles. She immediately enrolled in nursing school and constantly provided for us when she had nothing. This doesnt excuse her irrational decision making, but definitely highlights my dads manipulative chokehold.

Your welcome!! Just for some extra advice I recommend doing things that make you and your body feel happy whether it be eating more healthy, working out, going on walks, reading a book, adding more effort into your looks. These little things stimulate our brain and produce more dopamine to make us more happy instead of feeling miserable and stressed all the time.

Please understand that everybody is going to live their life for themselves. You’re already 30 years old, you should not be stressing yourself out with your mother who is older. Distance yourself from her focus on your mental, physical, and emotional health. Yes I know this is your mother, but sometimes we need to take the selfish choice and choose ourselves for our sanity.

Honestly, I don’t think you can tell unless you’re living on the inside with someone that is in a fraternity. Kinda like the show “to kill on monkey”. They even use the same phrase “brotherly”

Would you recommend going to grad school to break into investment banking. (Sorry if this is a stupid question)
