Actress Bisola Discusses Her Approach To Parenting

The Big Brother Naija reality star and actress Bisola Aiyeola has responded to criticism directed at her parenting approach.

During a recent episode of Maria Chike’s show “Mums Next Door,” Bisola revealed that she has received criticism for depriving her 15-year-old daughter of a phone till she turns 16.

Bisola defends her choice in the face of criticism, pointing out that her daughter has access to a laptop for academic purposes and may use Zoom to contact with friends.

She said: “Yes, I have been judged by my parenting skills. So, my daughter turned 15 this year and still doesn’t have a phone. I have been pretty strict with that part of her life, and she begged. I told her she wouldn’t have a phone till she was 16, so she still had one more year to go. And people have been asking me, like, what if there is an emergency?

“Wouldn’t she be behind her pairs and all, but she has a laptop for school work? If her friends need to talk to her, they can call her on Zoom. Sometimes, people feel like I am overdoing it, or I am trying to be overprotective, and I am like, well, that’s your business.

“There was a time I found out she opened a smart chat account on a laptop, and I was like, how? I disciplined her, which made me extend her phone usage by a year because she was supposed to get it this year at 15.”

We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves. A parent’s love is whole no matter how many times divided.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
