@maryvenia: “Imagine?. So you want them to be disrespectful to their parents to prove to you,they are sane?”

@kylaunlimited: “How do you want them to stand up to their parents? The same parents that nursed them? Omo! Some ladies sha. I hope you’d be able to take this dish you’re serving when you become a parent and soon to be mother in law. No matter what, never talk against your man’s parents.”

@taiwo_junzi: “Standing up doesn’t always mean you are being disrespectful. It’s very likely that she means people who won’t stand their grounds even when it’s obvious they have to stand their grounds.”

@bolasarcasm: “Stand up to my mama because of u. Some people really exaggerate their worth.”

@sweetestebby: “A lot of you don’t know what the poster meant,she doesn’t mean disrespecting them but correcting them when they need to be corrected. They are your parents doesn’t mean they can’t make mistakes or cross their boundaries.”

@l.tobiloba: “Literally, stay away from mummy’s boy. Meanwhile, be polite and not rude when standing up before dem tear you 👋.”

@eguoma: “Hope you all know that a lot of relationships and marriages have ended because the ladies involved allowed their parents walk all over their spouses? These women allow their family members disrespect and take advantage of their men? So people shouldn’t think mamas boy are the only issues here. It’s a two way thing.”
