Everyone Else Does It!
So, basically I can relate to this topic a lot when I had clashes with my parents a couple years ago. Not exactly did I use the same words "everyone else does it" but I would complain in the same aspect. My parents would always want me to come home early when I would go out and it would always outrage me. It would make me so mad because all my friends would still be out having fun while I was already home. It caused many arguments with my parents and I always complained how I was the one who always had to come home first. I also always asked why I couldn't stay out longer like everyone else. Of course parents always have their reasoning, but at that time in my life, I wanted to stay out late like everyone else.

Angel, I get your frustration because I remember being upset with my parents for the same reason. I also remember my own children being upset with me for telling them they had to be home by a certain time and they weren't happy either, but in the long run being a teen, on your way to your own independence involves some clashing and lack of understanding from anyone not with the same opinion! The most important aspect to any of this is that parents love their children and are worried about the choices that their kids may make, even if they have made good choices in the past. Peer influence is a concern, because there will always be those kind of friends who don't care about your consequences because in some cases they really only care about themselves.
ReplyDeleteI can relate because my mother has always wanted me home early when i go out. I also think that it helps a lot when they raise us that way because we stay out of trouble and danger we might run through.
ReplyDeleteAngel I feel your pain. Many parents are very protective which is not a bad thing. I think you and the rest of us should feel blessed we have a caring loving family. Life is good!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Angel I've been through the same situations with my parents. It might be hard having strict parents but I rather have them care for me than not worrying about me.
