Adega Family

Ghana is the third episode of the first season of The World's Strictest Parents.

Episode Summary
Meet parents Richard Adega (a part time pastor) and Vida Adega (a businesswoman). Parents to Troudy (19), Joshua (14), and Nathan (4). Vida considers herself a strict parent, but that is not something she feels bad about herself for being, for she feels lucky to be that way. Under the rules of the Adega family, boyfriends and girlfriends are no-nos in the house, Troudy, Joshua, and Nathan work for hours, and children may not tell their parents what they say is incorrect, even if it is incorrect. Richard sees children being aggressive, smartmouthing, or overpowering their parents. It is not easy to get away with that in Ghana. Vida also tells the world the definition of love. Letting your child get away with blue murder is the opposite of love. Being firm, setting boundaries, and putting your children in the right place is the definition of love. Troudy says how she likes the fact that her mom refuses to do ALL the housework but make her children take part in the household labor.

The Adega family was asked to foster teens Lizzie (16) and Stephan (17). Is their tough love a blessing for them or a waste of their vital time?
