Tee Billz explained that by remaining open-minded, he encourages his children to investigate, question, and uncover their truths.

“I'm very proud to welcome my daughter's boyfriend to my home at 18 than caging her to be rebellious.... I'm so proud to teach her to be with an excellent black young man with honors, respectful, loving from a good 2parents home!

“By being open-minded, we allow our children to explore, question, and discover their own truths...... My daughter, my business.💛. To raise a child for 18yrs in private school in Los Angeles no be beans! I know my mother is proud of me 😍🙏🏾💛."

Parents need to adopt some changes - Emmanuel Alaba, media executive

In a chat with a media executive, Emmanuel Alaba, he expressed an advanced perspective on Nigerian parenting and social change.

“The earlier we as parents begin to adopt some changes in our styles of parenting, the better society we build for ourselves and the next generations. In a society where 13- 15-year-old teens have begun to dress so attractively, then I see nothing wrong if parents start accepting their daughter's boyfriend or son's girlfriend home at 18 years. Since 18 years is the first level of maturity.

“Maybe it would put an end to the secrecy among our teens and their parents. In the near future, parents will be left with no options but to accept and give them the right guidance they need, so there will be no early pregnancy or early marriage."

"There’s nothing wrong with that, 18 is a good age for relationships and it’s always important parents know who their kids are dating, being overly strict doesn’t stop them.I don’t think it’s nice exposing the privacy here online though."

"This is good for you, and your views on this are respected but for me, my 18yrs old daughter will NOT bring no boy home at that age and when I suspect anything she will get tested till she’s 21..NO boys until 21/22… it’s all about foundation .. I am an old school and I wanna remain one."

"Does the internet really need to know who your daughter is seeing?? You guys reveal way too much personal stuff in this obasanjo’s internet."

"Next time print as a banner and hang it around Los Angeles so that people will be aware that your daughter now has a boyfriend. Everything should be on social media."

"People believe 18 is young and formative age" - Parenting advocate

Jayne Augoye, a parenting advocate and blogger, reacts to the concept of an 18-year-old daughter coming home with her boyfriend. While not condemning the idea, she reminded people reacting negatively to Teebillz' post that they are in the US, not Africa or Nigeria.

"This is the American society we are talking about. The idea of an 18-year-old introducing her boyfriend to her father is alien to us and understandably so. But mind you, this is a norm in the Western world. That said, one hand, some people argue that 18 is young and still a very formative age. They worry that romantic relationships at that stage can be distracting, emotionally intense, or even risky, especially when the person may not yet be financially or emotionally stable. I really do not meddle in how people choose to raise their kids, but the truth remains that to each his own."

When asked if she would encourage her 18-year-old daughter to have a relationship? Jayne, the Fabmumng writer said:

"Personally, I won't encourage it, but I would keep an open-door relationship with my daughter and say 19/20 I feel she would be more mature to handle the trappings of a relationship. Again, what does this so-called relationship entail? Kissing, dates, sleeping together? These are the questions we should be asking."
