Overprotective parents
0
Seriously... if you have one, what would you do? what would you feel?
yes you are given freedom... but LIMITED freedom, as long as you are in their bounds... they have their reasons, but really..... too much is not good.....
If you had such parents until now, what would you feel? would you rebel? obey since its for your best? or some other thing?

Well since I'm over 18 that's not a problem for me. I live with aunt right now since I was kicked out when I was 17.
I treated her as my mom, as she treated me as her son, but she's not overprotective. Just as long as I respect her, everything is fine.

My dad tought me how to play cards and gamble when I was 7, he takes me to gambling dens and race tracks to bet too. He lets me drink a bit here and there as a kid hihihi.
When my dad died, my father figure took his place and help me go through life and to drinking parties and we went to clubs and gave me women. It was fun, I have to admit.
As for my mom, she doesnt really mind and even encourages me......

"Too much is no good"
Probably the thing that could make sense in this one.
I have overprotective parents. And,even worse, they are achievers too. They think just because they're achievers, that means their offsprings have to follow in their footsteps. They "protect" me from the "real" world, yet how could I achieve anything if they protect me from experiencing life and hardship itself? How can you really win if you haven't even lost? Sometimes, I just don't really understand parents.

"Better safe than sorry"? Anyways, you'll always lose throughout the course of your life. Be it small things or bigger things. What matters is that you don't lose so hard that you can't get back up.
Also, I think most people mix what an overprotective parent and what a caring parent is. Often the overprotective parents (that I know of) provide a shit job at educating their kids, leading them to rebel. While a caring parent will go hard on the kid, not trying to be his friend, but instead trying to be a real guiding and supporting figure.

My parents used to be a lot overprotective with me, but when i started to work and got 18 they let me go, but yes i know what it feels, and sometimes its a pain in the ass but when you grow up you see that the only thing that they want its the best for you, like every parents, dont you think?

Kind of Important
A ray of Tsunlight.
Just prove you can make smart decisions yourself, distance yourself from what they call the "wrong" people, and just obey the little things. They'll loosen up. I've always had free reign since about 6th grade cause I had proven I was a pretty smart guy, never done drugs or anything in my day. But I do love the bottle. But once again, the whole being smart thing prevaled. They have no issue with it, as I'm responcible with it all.

My parent aren't that overprotective. The only thing is that they sometime overly very nagging, and they said to when i was 15, you choose your life, we just give you a way to achieve it.
Well, because of this i tried not to fail my parent, since i have fail them once yet still support me.
Overprotective parent, i cannot think i can survive to that. Well, they should give a some freedom to their kid so that they could develop an open mind. Overprotective can sometime leads to mental, emotional and personality disorder. Also give a close mindset.

I've got a lot to say on this subject. I grew up with ridiculously over-protective parents... but for now, it's bed time. Back later.

I did leave my parents' house because of our differences.
I grew up with overprotective, religious parents but somehow ended up agnostic. I left home at 16. It was a peaceful, willful decision. I told my mom I respected her rules but didn't agree with them, and therefore couldn't live there anymore. She yelled at me a bit, then told me I couldn't come back. She helped me pack. I couch-surfed at online friends' houses and my brothers' places alternately, got a job, explained my situation to my principal and how I couldn't afford to attend school anymore. She allowed me to continue going to school as long as I maintained a certain GPA and did volunteer work. It was tough. I continued on this way until I graduated from college, and then I reconnected with my parents so we could celebrate.
You have to live your life to the best of your ability and figure out what's best for you. I also believe that you should try to live honestly. For me, living honestly meant not pretending to follow morals or ethics that I don't believe in. Everything works out when you live for yourself and for people and things that you believe in.

The best you could do, is get a job, and show them you can support yourself. If you can do that, even the most overprotective parents would start to have faith in their grown up child, and might be more easy on you.
If your job is doing well enough, you could move out as well.

[font=Tahoma]I grew up in a wonderful home with two great loving parents and was one of four children. I was never pressured into attending church. I was given the choice to smoke pot and drink around the age of 16, at home only though. Literally had total freedom and I never really abused it. They let me do the things that other kids had to sneak out to do. So I never had anything to fight about with them.

While i love both my parents, i find living with my mom extremely difficult, precisely due to her being overprotective. I yearn for the day when i can live on my own, as i feel it would make the relationship between me and my mom a lot less strained(I am much closer to my dad, and find living with him much easier)

My parents were never overprotective, they let me drink and smoke before I was ten, as long as I did it while one of them was present so there was supervision. This way I learned to NEVER SMOKE as well as drink responsibly, since I knew how I reacted to liquor.
They pretty much left me alone, as long as I did my homework and my chores, I could do as I wanted.

My pops just wants to throw me in the lion's den and see if I can come out alive. He'll even encourage me to do hard labour if that's what it takes to toughen me up. I'd say he'll fit right in with the spartans (he had no weights to lift as a teen, so he made his own outta leftover concrete and a steel bar). This guy climbed his way from the bottom of society all the way up, and he thinks I should do the same. Overly macho but I get his point.
Mother's a bit overprotective, so if I wana party sometimes I gotta say I'm going to a dinner at pal's and crashing there. I think she knows alcohol is involved, but just doesn't say anything about it. Still, it can be rather suffocating to see her all panicky over nothing, but the thought is appreciated nonetheless.
