Episode 6: Growing Up With Strict Parents and How It Affects the Kids
from No Boundaries: Black Girl Magic Edition with Anousha Nzume · host Anousha Nzume
Parenting styles are tricky. Some people do free parenting, like our family, and give their children a bit more freedom at a younger age. Some parents are more strict and want to have a bit more control over their kids in order to keep them safe. Each parenting style comes with its own benefits and consequences, and since we don’t know much about the stricter parenting style, we’re going to talk to someone who’s lived it. This week’s guest is Nayelli, a wonderful young lady who’s been friends with Lulu since they were sixteen. Growing up, Lulu and Nayelli observed each other's families’ parenting styles from afar. Lulu got to see what a stricter household was like, and Nayelli got to see what a freer household was like. And while Nayelli could understand why her parents were so protective of her, she knew she couldn’t live like that forever.In this week’s episode, Nayelli shares what it was like growing up with very strict parents and how that affected her as she grew up. To be clear, when we say strict, we don’t mean getting good grades and a 10 pm curfew. We mean she couldn’t go out two weekends in a row, had to help pay for the household expenses, and wasn’t allowed to date until she was in her 20s. That kind of life can leave a lasting impression on a person, and it definitely has on Nayelli.Enjoy!
