Shaq Explains Why His Daughters Can Live at Home Longer Than his Sons

Shaq dishing out some info on his parenting skills.

The NBA legend just shared his parenting philosophy on Tuesday’s episode of The Pivot Podcast.

“I tell my boys, when y’all get 18 you all got to go. Girls can stay as long as they want,” he said.

O’Neal has four kids, Shareef, Amirah, Shaqir and Me’arah. He also shares his daughter Taahirah with former girlfriend Arnetta Yardbourgh.

The former basketball star was not shy about stating he has favorites, explaining that he “like my girls a little bit better” and views them as more sensible than his sons.

“I trust them more because they’re more sensitive, they’re more caring and they’re thinkers,” he said of his daughters. “You know how boys are. My boys, you bring something right in front of them and they’re gone.”

He even went as far as to say that he will support his daughters in their post-graduate endeavors should they decide to go that route and that he is in absolutely no rush to see them go.

“[The girls] can stay as long as y’all want, take your time. Go to college, get your master’s, get your doctorate, I’ll pay for it, take your time,” he said.

Shaq has it all figured out, you gotta love the big man doing a lot of oversharing lately.
