Do you have strict parents?
My parents were very strict. Many of their rules were based on their extreme conservative religious views.No dancing - I wasn’t allowed to go to PromNo shorts - Once I bought my own clothes, I wore shorts. I was not permitted to try out for the Pom Pom squad or Cheerleader because of the uniforms.No drinkingNo cursing - I was slapped across the face when I was about 12 because I said, “My zipper is all jacked up!”I left home when I was nineteen, my curfew was still 10:30. We had an above ground pool where a group of us loved to hang out on Sunday afternoons. One week was the boys, next the girls. We were not allowed to participate in mixed bathing, the bible doesn’t allow that. No matter how conservative our swimsuit, I still had to wear a t-shirt over it while swimming.Monday through Friday my bedtime was 8:30, as I entered Jr. High, I attempted to negotiate for 9:00, my parents didn’t budge. In High School, they didn’t budge either. If the light was on in my room after 8:30, I heard banging on the door and, “Time to go to sleep!” I keep wondering why they thought I could turn off the light, close my eyes and be asleep in seconds.My dad was firm with my weekend curfew. It was as if he thought it was impossible to become pregnant before 10:30. When I was sixteen, I got a car. The first thing my dad said to me is, “Every girl I knew who had a car when they were sixteen got pregnant.” I looked at him in bewilderment and wondered why he thought he needed to say this. My dad worked until 5:00 and my mom worked in retail and had her schedule posted by the phone each week. It made it easy to find the opportunity to get knocked up before 10:30 pm.In case you are wondering, I have only been pregnant once. I was 27 years old when I became pregnant and 28, when I gave birth to my son. So I had the last laugh about the car = pregnancy.
I'm 16 and my parents are WAY too strict?
Okay so my parents are divorced. I lived with my mom and my stepdad basically until I was 16. Living with them was great compared to now. I was allowed to hangout my friends, I had a reasonable curfew and my mom trusted me and my friends to make the right decisions. I was given freedom and my mom wasn't really strict about most things. Then I moved with my dad and stepmom and they are the complete opposite of my mom. They don't even believe a 16 year old should have a cell phone. My dad has the passwords to all of my social media and emails and he will only allow me to have Facebook and just recently twitter. He has restrictions on my phone and has decided to take my phone away at night and give it back in the morning. He never let's me hangout with my friends and on the rare occasion that he does, he must know every last detail about everything (who, what, where, when, why, how,) EVERYTHING. He demands every single phone number of every person I'm hanging out with and their parents phone numbers AND tracks me the entire time on find my iphone. They're constantly on my back about being responsible and acting like a young adult but literally treat me like a new born baby. I can't handle this. I turn 17 in about 6 months and I don't have the option of moving back with my mom. It seems that there is no way to prove I'm responsible and that none of this is necessary. My dad goes through all my texts and emails on a regular basis and doesn't believe I should have privacy. help??
Are my parents too strict?
I think my parents are way too strict, and my friends all know me as the guy who can never do anything because I'm not allowed to... but my parents remain adamant that they are just "doing the best for me." I am a 15 years 8 month old male, and do well in school (A's and B's) at a private high school that is well known and respected. To put this in perspective, My bedtime is at 10:00 on weekdays On weekends and break, I get to have 3 hours of screentime per day (TV, YouTube, and videogames added up) (Videogames are my hobby, and I play with friends a lot) I don't have the admin password to my computer My parents set up K9 Web Protection and OpenDNS to block up all open image/media sites, pornography, and whatever sites they choose (so imgur, giffy, 4chan, 9gag, xhamster, etc all blocked) There is a "NestCam" set up in my computer room that can livestream and record to my dad's phone, to monitor what I do in that room No games on weekdays (reasonable) I can't ride in cars or golfcarts when anyone with less than 1 year in their license is driving (this is the law, but still bums me out when I can't go to something because of it) never allowed to have people over In order to do anything with friends, my parents need many hours notice Can't play M rated games or watch R rated movies There are definitely more things here but none come to mind right now... So... Is this strict, or just good parenting?
Are my parents too strict? I'm 18?
Hi, I am 18, and will be 19 soon. I live with my parents, and I know I have to respect their rules because I live under their roof, but honestly I find myself going insane with their strictness. They frequently don't let me go out because they think I should be working and doing homework, although I am already a good student, and my curfew is 11 p.m. I don't think they should be managing my time, especially since I have already graduated from college (at an early age). Every time I want to go out--even during the day--I have to ask them, and they make a huge deal out of it, because they think seeing friends is, essentially, a waste of time. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?
My parents are WAY too strict!?
Once I took a handful of raisins (me trying to be healthy so my parents get off my back) and my mom tells me to put half of them back because raisins have too much sugar! They are obsessed with healthy, they made me quit drinking cow milk, eating cheese, white bread, cookies, ice cream, chocolate, coffee, and meat. 1. I'm not lactose-intolerant (NO ONE IN MY FAMILY IS!) 2. I don't have food allergies (I know, I've had a blood test and the doctor says I have no food allergies) 3. I'm 13, 5 foot 3.5 inch and 100 pounds, my BMI is 18. I take sports all year round! I know they want me to be healthy, but they practically let me have no candy or anything like they used to. My grandma has Diabetes (the kind were you can't eat a lot of sugar) but my parents don't have it, and no one else in my family does. I'm always jealous of my friends cause their parents are relaxed and don't limit their food, or make them study in the summer, or hover over them 24/7. Oh, and my mom always compl
Are my parents too strict?
I m 23 years old and my parents still want me to be home at a certain time (3am). I know it s not an early curfew but I m an adult with a full time job. I ve also had a rough couple of years going through school, relationships, and hanging out with the wrong people. Recently my parents went through my purse without me knowing and found something I shouldn t have had in the first place which I m not proud of but its something I want to leave in the past and I ve been trying to be more responsible and calm down on the partying. My parents are very religious, they won t even let me drink they think even a glass of wine will make me a bad person. Are my parents too strict?
My parents are way to strict and I'm 17!?
I am normally all about children following the rules their parents lay down for them. We all went through it, most of us lived and even turned out ok. However it is not uncommon for overly sheltered teens to walk into the real world and be destroyed by it. You need social skills, you need street smarts, you need to be able to hold your own. You need to be able to resist peer pressure. The dangers in the world are great, but by contrast, the ones you face in your teens are less than those you face as an adult. Explain to your parents that you need to face the real world eventually, and you would like to do it while your brain is still in it's developmental phases. Edit: Ask your parents if they think you should do what someone tells you just because they can use violence against you. Ask them what they are trying to teach you with violence. At a younger age, force teaches you that your actions and words can cause pain. At this age, they are teaching you that it is ok to obey a person who hits you. Terrorists use force and threats of violence to get their way. If you reach a point where you have had enough, declare all unholy Jihad and walk out.

Why are my parents so strict?
Your parents fear you might get hurt! This fear is not only an imagined fear. Thus is a real fear from 100s possible dangers around a child or even teenager.If you meet dangerous but exciting guys/girls they may insist you smoke with them. Or worse.I will give you an example of bad company, “dressed” nicely. My daughter said one day “ How much money do you want? I could get you any amount. It's false but perfect.” I froze. Then I freaked. She explained she had that “friend” who was supplying many with false money and they had to pay 1/10 only! The guy was charming and seemed like from a good family! He'll. ..can you imagine how her life could become a mess???There are so many real dangers and having fear is good in those cases to warn us to be alert. Parents can't be 100% there but they do their best and it's for their kids good.Other fears based on wrong beliefs and habits should be eliminated. Like - “ I can't ever do what Peter is doing! He is clever, I am not” That is stupid and it can be dealt with very efficiently now.[1]Footnotes[1] FREE LIVE Virtual Training Event: Learn To Apply The Latest Brain Based Methods To Uncover & Overcome Your Hidden Non-Conscious Fears
