Travis Barker’s daughter explained just how her father parents her to her fans in a surprising quiz.
Alabama Barker, 18, highlighted her father’s parenting attitudes on social media earlier this week.
Posting a video to her TikTok page on Monday (January 8) she insisted her dad Travis Barker, who is a father-of-three, had ‘strict but not strict’ rules regarding her wellbeing.
And most notably boys. Have a listen here:

In your teenage years, more than a fair few can say their parents had protective or straight up bizarre rules when it came to dating.
But Travis’ rules and responses landed well on the app, however, and many fans remarked how they had now developed a ‘crush’ on the Blink-182 drummer.
The video has gone more than a little viral with over 28 million views in just a few days.
“I’m asking my strict but not strict dad hypothetical questions,” Alabama told her followers.
“What would you do if I went out with a boy and I just completely stopped answering you?”she asked Travis, who was sitting behind her.
He replied: “I would come to your location, and I would find you.”
“Am I allowed to have guy friends over? Am I allowed to close my door with a guy in the room?” she then asks.
Travis answered: “[A guy can come over] If I am. Not without me coming in the room and checking on you,” he added.
When asked whether his daughter was allowed to drive to a guy's house late at night, he sternly answered 'no' while Alabama simply laughed.
The pair continued the back and forth about what punishments Alabama would receive for skipping class, drinking or having issues with her car.
But all in all, Travis gave some pretty well-rounded answers - firm but protective with a willingness to explain why he had the rules.
And his parenting methods were certainly appreciated down in the comments section.
“This is strict but in a wholesome way I feel like,” one user remarked.
“I get it now, I finally get it. He so calming and such a good father,” another added.
“Honestly y'all can say whatever you want about him but he's a chill, very responsible and loving father to all his kids,” commented someone else.
“He’s not strict but he has rules so you’re safe but he’s understanding as well,” a fourth wrote.
"Did we all just develop a crush on him or what?" a fifth said.
And the Barker brood has grown recently - with the latest addition being his son Rocky Thirteen Barker, who he shares with wife Kourtney Kardashian.
