Today’s kids will probably never know what it is like to grow with strict parents. For those of us who know a ‘mwiko’ and a pair of slippers can serve more than one purpose, we can only thank our parents for the discipline they instilled in us.
Through the hashtag #GrowingUpWithStrictParentsKE, twitter users were reminiscing on the ‘good’ ol’ days.
Below are the memes and the tweets
Telling your friends your parents said no without even asking cause you know it would have been a no anyway.#GrowingUpWithStrictParentsKE

#GrowingUpWithStrictParentsKE means you are beaten if you cry after a beating you are punished and if you don’t cry you are being rude..

#GrowingUpWithStrictParentsKE is understanding you mother will never beat you, but she can not ignore the demon inside you so she beats it.
