In the latest episode of Mums Next Door with Maria Chike, Bisola revealed that some people felt she was being overprotective by not allowing her daughter to use a phone until she was 16. According to her, she has been very strict with that part of her daughter’s life and had told her 15-year-old daughter she can only have a phone till she is 16.
She stated that people have been judging her as they questioned what if an emergency happened or if it wouldn’t make her be behind her peers in class, but Bisola made them know that she has a laptop for her school work and can always call her friends on Zoom.
Bisola revealed that there was a time she found out her daughter had opened a smart chat account on her laptop, and she had disciplined her by prolonging her phone usage by a year.
“Yes, I have been judged by my parenting skills. So, my daughter turned 15 this year, and she still doesn’t have a phone. I have been pretty strict with that part of her life, and she kind of 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″.>>>CONTINUE FULL READING HERE
