Overprotective parents?.....

Re: Overprotected parents?.....

Somehow my parents are perfect. I don't have to listen to them but i really have no reason not to =/

This is how my parents are most of the time. Except for when daddy's not on drugs, then he finds or makes up any damn reason to argue with me (or anyone, but especially me).

He's usually wrong too.

Re: Overprotected parents?.....

what

stretchy my child never showed me any of his quiz or tests grades so why did he fail your class

stretchy I want you to come in early every morning and after school to help my child until he gets better grades

stretchy my child told me he did his homework so why does it say he didn't do it

Never mind now i remember where i saw this situation...parent teacher conferences....This one lady said everything KgZ just posted here because he was failing math....parents sometimes don't realize they are the problem in some cases...I know they try to do good things for us but if your over exaggerating on it then they need to realize it....I hope in time...

Re: Overprotective parents?.....

My parents want me home all the time. If school was not a law I probably wouldn't be in it. Right after school I have to go straight home and do chores. They even get mad when I go to the library after school!

Re: Overprotective parents?.....

A good parent's job and psychological need is to make their kid be the best person they can be. A part of that is keeping them safe from whatever could harm them. It's hard to draw the line between looking out for your child's well-being and being overprotective.

Re: Overprotective parents?.....

Meh, my parents used to be overprotective until I was like 11 years old. They do it out of love, they don't want to see you hurt, I guess. My parents are random though, sometimes they care if I trip and fall, other times they could care less if I held a knife to my throat. =P

I'd rather under protective parents, though. More fun, plus I get away with a lot of stuff.

EDIT: I just realized they stopped caring about the same time I joined FFR. COINCIDENCE?!?!?

I don't feel bad for kids whose parents aren't protective at all.

They're ****ed up.

Re: Overprotective parents?.....

My parents are fond of making boundries for the sake of having boundries.

For example, for a while, they decided I had to come home at 2:30 every night. I asked why - their answer was one time where I had forgotten my key and we had to clear out of a busted party, so I had to knock and wake them up at 3:30 in the morning. I told them that they'd have to come get me then, as there was no way I was bothering to figure out a way home at 2:30 every time I went out. They agreed.

So basically, instead of letting me stay out all night and not disturb them, because of one time where I ****ed up, they were going to impose a rule that would make me disturb them every single night at 2:30 in the morning, instead of once in oh say forty times at 3:30.

Whenever I point this out they just scream at me "THIS IS OUR ****ING HOUSE" and "IT'S A RULE, YOU CAN'T BREAK IT".

Pretty much all of the rules they impose on me similarly contradict themselves. Only four more months of enduring them though.

Re: Overprotective parents?.....

Getting out from underneath the watchful eye of your parents will be an enjoyable and liberating experience. However, if you don't make your own way and depend on them in the future for money and whatever it'll still be a pain in the ass. Trying to make a living on your own can be tough, but it's so worth it.

Re: Overprotective parents?.....

My dad (fairly traditional Italian father) was very strict until I was 18. I always had to tell them where I was going, when I'd be back, call if any of that changed, reasonably fixed bedtimes (Not like "be in bed by X" but "We'll get pissed off and yell at you if you're up super late")

As soon as I turned 18, each and every restriction was lifted. The working theory was "We work hard while you're growing up to instill a certain sense of responsibility and maturity in you, and by the time you're 18 you've either learned it or not, but now you're an adult, so do what you like, and we'll just hope you learned the useful lessons"

Sure, I had lots of yelling matches with my parents as a teenager about how unfair all their rules were, but I seem to have turned out okay as a result.

Exactly like my parents. Except for me it was when I graduated High School rather than turning 18 is when they lifted the boundaries. I was 17 when I graduated High School, and about 20 days later I turned 18. I guess they considered that I was 18 already after graduating or something.

Re: Overprotective parents?.....

Don't be like 17 year old Chaz.

One night 17 year old Chaz took his girlfriend to a local park without telling his or her parents. They both turned off their phones and had a jolly old time until the wee hours of the morning. When Chaz returned his girlfriend to her house the police were there and her parents were very unhappy. He said Chaz wasn't to see her for quite a while. He'd be right. Chaz then drove home and was greeted by very angry parents, one of whom was wielding a childhood baseball bad menacingly. Chaz didn't leave his room for a while.

Don't be like 17 year old Chaz.

Re: Overprotective parents?.....

My parents are just ridiculously protective of "things that affect my schoolwork."

Such as FFR.

Re: Overprotective parents?.....

I've seen this so many times i wanted to ask why.....
Parents taking care of their children too much...whats the reason for it?...If they child trips off lets say a log and there is no harm done...why do they act as if they are completely beat up? Why are they so worried about? I've seen parents so worried even if they go on field trips for the school day!! What is the reason parents are so darn worried about??

they want to make sure they are ok...but they shouldnt go on field trips with their kids. I think that our generation of kids are pretty dumb. you see kids wearing there pants to their waist, and blasing music up high, and getting married, then divorcing 1 year later. You wouldnt see kids back then doing that kind of stuff, and therefore kids should be watched, but not too much, because you have to teach them responsiblity

haha that's like my parents, they are overprotective like that. I cannot stay overnight at most people's houses. I can only stay overnight at people with parents that are friends with my parents. I have to call my parents every day I get home. Right now i'm not allowed to date,choose my own clothes or shop for anything actually; my parents buy everything for me. But I'm very spoiled, my parents get me a lot of stuff I don't ask for...like ddr, mp3 player etc. Plus I sometimes ignore their strict rules and then they get used to it, but they are mostly the small things like...makeup and stuff ( U_U still can't dye my hair with normal hair dye >:3 I'll do it soon anyway).
