Yes you do.

Edited - it’s hard having these conversations with white people full stop. I’m done.

I fear the point’s being sorely missed. Me saying white English was purely out of convenience and you know it.

Like I say we don’t have the same cultutal approach with things like this so I’m ending it here.

But we know everyone has different cultures and will always discipline their kids differently. It's also a generation thing as well as alot of parents probably had a tougher childhood and their parents were probably stricter .

Nah. Nigerian/West African discipline is on a whole new scale. Not even in the tiniest bit comparable. Not even.

Anyone who wants to get a flavour of West African parenting can check out these -

Some of those videos are more done in banter but you get a taste. Not everyone comes from a culture where it’s alright to talk back to the people who gave you life and at worst have to go sit on some step for 8 minutes.

But that's what I'm saying ,every culture is different and some are more strict .

Chances are west African /Nigerian parents have had a rough life in those counties and alot of them will of worked hard and helped their family with every chore and cooked and cleaned and done everything , plus there's other hardship they've been through , and they come to the UK and they have that hard tough love that they give their kids as they probably come from poverty and they don't want their own kids to fail .

Why you getting personal with people, it's obvious you're talking from experience but you can't assume Irish white parents are softer ?!!, If you want to get technical what about northern Irish as people joke about the accent being stronger ,but again you can't stereotype .

I wasn’t assuming anything about Irish people. I just used English as a generic catch-all.
