Overprotective Parents

chocopyro
Well, I live with my dad. But he needs a roommate, so its a mutually beneficial arrangement, and since my twin brother moved out (So they would stop trying to cut his disability checks), I'm kinda the only guy who can help him. So long as I'm making money legally, he doesn't care what I do. I did have an over protective parent in the form of a grandmother, sadly she's no longer with us. So the nagging which came from distant lands which was once annoying, I kinda find endearing now. Still, it never got to the point where I woulda called her toxic. Doting and paranoid, perhaps. But understandable given how hands off our dad was in raising us, and how our mother was... Is... (Love her, but she should really stop dating people who could be in the KKK. She's picking up even worse habits than when I was a kid.)

I had really over protective parents when I was first growing up, but as I got older I kept pushing the boundaries and they relaxed after they realized I would be fine. My sisters have it easy because of me lol. They support almost everything I do now so it's chill.

That's kinda what my friend, Toni did. Oldest brother of three, spent years of his life resisting a hyper-controlling mother, soon as he moved out and she came to terms with the fact that her kids actually were smarter than she gave them credit for, she relinquished her grip on them.

Nope. I was too headstrong as a teen.

Maybe traveling out further and further with good decision-making skills performed well will end their overprotective parenting.

Hmm... I can't really relate, but my parents are pretty traditional. In general, it's a blessing to have parents in the first place. Although if they really are making things hard, figure out if what they're pushing for actually is for your own good? Again, I'm might be giving them too much credit since I can't relate--but sometimes they are right. If they really are unreasonable, then I would probably figure out how to move out sometime soon or have a heart-to-hearf talk with them. A lot of times they do mean well but end up showing it poorly

I would say get out the soonest you can and experience life for yourself. You'll either realize the importance of your parents or how fulfilling life is w/out them. Maybe something of the mix. Just make sure you are safe and so are they. I come from a family of 13 Asians and almost all my siblings have tried to commit suicide b/c of my parents' over-protectiveness. If we didn't have each other, we'd probably already be dead.

Mom is a bit overprotective and I need to lie, or rather "not disclose information she doesn't need to know about". Just to name one, she was afraid I could hit by a car or get kidnapped on my way to the video store and it's a 10 minutes walk during broad daylight with full of people around. There's a very slim possibility somewhere but let's not get paranoid. I told her I never went there alone but I went hundred of times ^^'
