I am 22 years old and live at home...which is not the problem. The problem is, I get treated like a F*cking baby, mean while my YOUNGER sister gets all the freedom in the world. I am so sick of my parents trying to control my whole entire life!!! I am not allowed to live my life and make my own choices and mistakes...I am sick of the ********* lectures!!! I am sick of having to check in with them when I go out, of having to leave a friend's # of where I will be when I do go out...this is embarrassing, I am not a 12 year old for crying out loud!IP: Logged |

Hi Purplezen....I could be wrong....but while it may look like interferring and trying to run your life, to you.... there's a good possibility that with the world like it is today...they just want to make sure you are safe and sound.... Kidnappers, rapists, murderers, and all kinds of sickos are wandering about out there in the world ready to find a victim. When a parent knows WHERE their offspring is (no matter how old), it very much relieves their minds to know they are safe....I am speaking from the parent perspective, of course, Someday you may have children, and then you'll realize what the "protective" instinct is. It's starts from the day they are born....and I don't think it ever stops...*sigh* That's just my two cents... Love,
Rainbow~

To your parents, you will always be the cute little newborn baby they took home (seems like just yesterday to them) and instantly gave their Heart and Soul to. I understand how you feel restricted and confined and how frustrating overbearing parents can be; however, if you will open your Heart and view the situation from the outside looking in, you will realize that when you remove Ego on both sides of the equation, your parents Love you so much. Try to see it from their point-of-view, even though they may be wrong in the expression of that Love.  ------------------

Well, not to sound like a busy-body, but I think that what you perceive as "them" trying to control your life, is in reality what Rainbow said in her post. This has become a very UGLY dangerous world and your parents are looking out for you because they LOVE you.And if you stepped back and looked at your younger sister, with a realistic pair of eyes, she is probably being treated the same way. You probably don't see it because you are so wrapped up in the negative aspect and you feel like the victim. Love and cherish what your parents are doing. I felt the same way as you, when I was young and now I wish with all my heart that I could move back home to spend quality time with my parents, while I still have them. A BIG Hug for you!~~ La-Tee-Da P.S. Randall said a mouthful, too!! IP: Logged |
