It’s not every day we get to peek behind the curtains of a celebrity’s family life, but Alabama Barker just gave us a front-row seat to hers. In a charming TikTok video, 18-year-old Alabama playfully interrogates her dad, Travis Barker, about his parenting style, which she lovingly describes as “strict but not strict.”
Alabama Barker kicks off the video with a simple yet intriguing question, “Would you consider yourself strict?” Travis Barker, the legendary drummer of Blink-182, answers with an easy-going “No,” setting the stage for a series of candid exchanges that reveal more than just answers; they show the bond the two share.
The video is a mix of humor and heartfelt moments. Alabama Barker dives into hypotheticals: what if she sneaks out, stops answering calls while out with a boy, or even brings home a bad grade? Travis’s responses are a blend of a protective parent and a cool dad. His reactions range from laughingly considering ‘restriction’ for sneaking out to being upfront about the dangers of such actions.
Alabama’s questions continue, touching on topics like having male friends over (“If I’m home,” Travis says) and the classic dilemma of a teen’s bedroom door being closed with a boy inside. Travis’s answer? “Not without me coming in to check on you.” It’s clear that while he gives his daughter space, his parental radar is always on.
The video takes a more serious turn when Alabama asks about coming home under the influence. Travis’s stance is firm yet caring, highlighting the balance he maintains in his parenting approach.
As the video wraps up, Alabama throws in a few more scenarios, from car troubles to curfew breaks. Travis’s answers remain consistent – caring but with a hint of discipline. It’s evident he’s the kind of dad who worries more about his daughter’s safety than the car she might have dinged.
The video ends with Alabama playfully asking her followers if Travis passed the “vibe check.” Given their laughter and easy rapport throughout, it’s safe to say he did. But beyond the fun and games, this TikTok video provides a glimpse into the real-life dynamics of a father and daughter in a high-profile family.
Travis Barker, more than just a rock star, emerges in this video as a parent who’s navigating the challenges of raising teenagers in today’s world. With his mix of cool and caution, he’s setting a standard for “strict but not strict” parenting.
