Toolz, the popular Nigerian media personality, has sparked discussion on relationships and parental approval after sharing her candid thoughts on dating dynamics with parents.
In a post on Instagram, Toolz posed a question many people quietly struggle with: "Would you continue a relationship if your partner’s parents don’t like you? And what if your own family doesn’t approve of your partner?"
Sharing her personal stance, the OAP didn’t mince words and said she would have walked away if her partner’s parents — especially his mother — didn’t like her.
“You rarely win that battle if you’re at war with the mum, whether you’re right or wrong,” she said, adding that it simply takes too much emotional energy.
However, when it comes to her own parents, Toolz said she would try to make things work.
