Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t want his daughters dating at all till they’re 25. He believes that his daughters need to get their life in order and get to know themselves better first. In his chat with US Weekly, Shaq tells us about what he wants for his daughters. When it comes to parenting, the mothers are the enforcers in Shaq’s case. The former Lakers legend spoke about how he doesn’t really enforce the rules, but knows how to put his point across. 

I want them to be fully educated or … fully independent,” O’Neal said. “I want them to have most of those goals and once they get 18 on and they become little mini adults, I’m not going to be the dad that says, ‘Do this, do that.’ [I’ll] guide them in the right path … In the perfect world, I’d like them to have a bachelors and masters and [be] going into their own field.”

“I don’t really have a lot of rules,” Shaq said. “The moms do a great job of yelling and raising them and doing all that stuff. I’m more of the guy that’s the settler. If my ex-wife tells my daughter, ‘You can’t have a boyfriend now,’ I would be the one to say, ‘Guys are crazy. Do this. You need to focus on your education. Learn a little bit about yourself before you start thinking about guys.’ I’m more like the buffer.”
