Why are parents so over protective?
Because a child is (sometimes) something you create and then something you care for and help build. It is 100% normal to be protective of something or someone you care for. This is also the case for inanimate objects. I don’t want to compare a child to a thing but I know plenty of people who treat their cars like children…. or pets like children!But a child is a little more significant.Of course you asked why they’re over protective and that’s a different thing altogether. My mom is from Honduras and it’s not very safe there. A lot of violence and kidnappings so even though she moved to the US she was still wary about us being outside alone or out with friends.For some it’s religion. Or education or… whatever. I know that when I finally have a kid I will probably be worried about outside forces swaying them against my beliefs (I don’t want them to end up some greedy capitalist).
Over Protective Parents?
Ok so my parents are a little crazy when it comes to being over protective. So im 15 and turning 16 in a couple months and i will be able to drive but my paretns are really weird when it comes to letting me go places. Like for one my dad refuses to let me run in stores alone to grab something real quick like if we need a few groceries or something (my mom does but not my dad). The other week me and my friend were going to a completely fine and safe and quite small halloween haunted thing and i wasnt allowed to be dropped off ( like it's a familly environment and everything and i go to it every year.) One more thing is that i was only allowed to go to the mall alone with my friends THIS year. they started letting me go to the movies alone with friends but they still dont like it. Finally, the other day me and my friend went to six flags and her mom couldnt go and i didnt tell my mom until the last minute and she was pissed that i was goign alone lol (i think that when i came home in one piece and not raped, it showed her she can let me out of the house every once and a while lol) but like i just dont know how to deal with this craziness. they have already made me paranoid about going out in public lol and i am always really careful and never ever talk to strangers and like i am always prepared lol and i trust myself to go places alone like that night i went to six flags with just my friend it was the most freeing i have ever felt lol it was great! Oh there is one more thing my parents refused to drop me offf at warped tour with my other friend (i can understand that but my dad took me and he literally did not let us move more than four feet away from him. so we coulsnt go up front to the stage at all) like is this something that will just disapate in time? and they wil give me more freedom when i get my license next year? how do i deal with them lol sorry for this being so long THanks :)
How do I make my parents less over protective?
Parenting is all about love and unfortunately, about sense of insecurity. Wise parents know when to let the children be on their own. Most parents, don't allow children to take the responsibilities. They spoon feed them. Children grow up lacking confidence. This makes them more over protective and enter the vicious circle. It is necessary to bring up the children such that they can get along the world when they are alone, without parents. I use amateur photography to express this prominent problem of parenting. The solution is two way, Parents have to trust the abilities of children and children have to show maturity while dealing with life.
Poll: Over or Under Protective Parents?
I have kids of my OWN and my mom is STILL as crazy as she was when I was 13! You think your parent's are over the top? I bet your curfew isn't 9 o'clock to this day if you're still in your parents house?! If I go to visit my parents -they still tell me when to go to bed -I'm 25 years old! lol. Now THAT is scary, my friend.
Over Protective parents sucks????????????
hi, first off of course i love my parents, so don't think that I'm a bad kid cause I'm not, but they are wayyyy too overprotective and I really despise them at times. I can't do anything, I can't go to my freinds' house, they watch my every move, they are retired, so they do that a lot, they go in m room and check up on it everyday and the re-organized my room without telling me, I can't go to concerts or school dances after 6PM, I'm 16 but they won't even let me study for the drivers' test yet, I can't walk to school, they make sure to drive me. I'm usually home all the time and I don't like talking to them because they already suffocatd me enough and kep me in the house, so I ust lock myself in my room and the computer seems to be my only freedom. But i HAD to convince them to put it there because it used to be in the living room. I don't drink, never smoke and I don't do drugs, so I never gave them any reasons to distrust m, but they always think I'm dumb and never let me do anything. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thye think they are helping me but they are really making me more depressed and anti-social. I'm losing freinds.. :(
Are over protective parents Selfish?
Yes I think they are. I'm surprised that locking your kid inside the house almost the whole day and force their fears upon the child isn't considered Mental abuse. but when a talented girl happily bellydances infront of a camera then everyone will scream out Child abuse! I've come to my conclusion that those parents are only protective of themself because they only care about how they feel and keep themself at ease. but not how the child feels and how hurtful he or she feels being denied to enjoy their day like other kids. What If you overprotect and a child and get a terminal disease few years later? Then those moments when the child was healthy and could play has been robbed because of your selfishness. Maybe some parents feel there are reasonable excuses because of their past but It is still unfair. It is you who should make changes. Move to a safe area put the kid on self defense class and get counseling. Because the child didn't asked to be born. You chose to let it be born. I only respect protective behavior If there is indeed danger. Like not letting your kids go for a swim because there is a hurricane warning. but keeping your kid inside because you see an imaginary pedobear lurking around every corner is invalid. Unlawfully controlling someone's life is the most despicable thing you can do to someone and I fail to see that as A act of Love because Love is selfless and focuses on the needs and comfort of someone else not yours.
Dont you hate over protective parents?

Really over protective parents!?
Listen, I'm very sorry to say this given your age, but unless you want your life to be shattered completely you need to move out and never look back. Now, since you're only 15 it'll be hard to get a place of your own, but here's what to do: go to the police and report your mum for abuse to begin with (which is illegal) WITHOUT your parents knowing or else they'll be able to prepare themselves for what to say to get away clean. Let the authorities know that you feel threatened in your own home and what despair their fascism has caused you. The good news is, you'll be 18 in just 3 years and as such will be entitled to your own residence. Until then, let the authorities take care of you because things are unlikely to get any worse than this. You do deserve a decent life but the problem is, you can't get it without fighting for it. Good luck :)
What is wrong with the over protective parents in India?
Intent of most parents across the world is very recpectable. They want best things to happen to their children.Their implimentation is faultering most often than not…In current scenario, it is parents that need PARENTING ;o Most parents require their parents knocking on their head once in a while and nudging their direction and methods of parenting.
So I’m 14. My parents are so over protective. What do I do?
They won’t let me go trick or treating with friends, they treat me like I’m five, and they won’t even let me use the toaster. Is this normal? Everytime I fight with them about it they tell me I’m being spoiled and they just don’t want me to die. But I’m old enough to know what’s good and what’s bad. Contrary to what they think, I’m a good kid. I’ve never even gone to the principals office. So when they treat me like I’m a baby it makes me annoyed. Especially when I have to tell my friends things like “I can’t go trick or treating with you because my parents think I’ll be kidnapped.” And ideas on how to address my parents about it would be ideal.
