About






 Hey! I'm Fejiro and I am super excited you decided to visit my blog. Surviving the African Parent is an outlet I decided to create for African teens who have trouble with their parents but can't talk about it with them. 

These struggles are usually uber relatable to most African teens and can be funny to talk about. They may be annoying and really frustrating, but hey! they stem from our culture, and help shape us into the world changers that are all over the planet. 

I hope talking about my experiences at home, how I handled them (the successes and the goofs) will encourage you to share and inspire others to do so as well. 

Surviving the African Parent will also feature stories and tips on siblings, friendship, hobbies, travel, anything a typical African teen is likely to encounter in the course of their teenage hood and beyond. 

The sub pages in the 'more' option are Teen Agony and Inspiration. In the first, I will be giving tips to handle certain situations as well as stories about my challenges. In the other, I will be posting memes and quotes I hope resonate with you.

So, who's ready to listen to my tales of weathering the teenage African storm?

I hope you stick around!😁

  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! To all the wonderful mother's out there, we can't say how much we appreciate and love you! We love you moms! I love you mom!

The Copy Machine

  A big thank you to the lady who told me this story. She gave me a new view on babies thanks to an intriguing conversation. My little brother reached the stage that he copied everything that everyone said. As a result we were really, really, really careful. We once said poop in his presence and that comprised the majority of his vocabulary for one week! Back to the story. My mom always carried my brother with her to greet my dad whenever he came home from work. She always said "Welcome home honey" One day, as my dad came home, my brother broke free from my sister and I and ran up to our dad yelling "Honey! Honey! Honey!" at the top of his lungs. We were shocked. My mom was worried. My dad look faintly disturbed. How were we going to wean him off this?

The Sleepover Story

  'Mom, dad, can I sleepover at my friend's house next week?' 'Sleep-what? You can be with them all day, why do you need to sleep in their house? Why can't they come here?...' A lot more questions follow that. From the experience of teens, more often than not, parents believe that you should play out all day and come back to your house to sleep. It's not a bad philosophy.  You don't really lose out of not sleeping over at your friend's house. A huge pro is, when you are older, hopefully, you'll sleep in your own house most of the time, which is a great way to remain safe.
