is this normal pa ba? i'm like 21 years old na. i've graduated na from college and i'm working na. and i have sobrang strict parents! as in strict!
i'm 21 years old na, but still, i'm not allowed to date. but i'm allowed to use the phone until the wee hours of the morning naman since i have an extension sa room ko. either way, dates are a definitey no-no for them. kahit na sabihin ko na the guy would coem to the house and pick me up, kse i want them to meet who i'm goign out with, no pa rin. kahit na in broad daylight labas namin, ayaw pa rin. kahit na hanggang 7pm lang ako, ayaw pa rin.
ordinarily, i have a curfew of 7:00pm. unless there's a party or something. but either way, with regards to parties and stuff, my parents would prefer na they would drive me over and pick me up later on ... so, in other words, overnights and road trips are out of the question. discos are definitely, out din kse siyempre, in going to discos and stuff, you usually go some sobrang late na to the point na umaga na. :o
is this normal pa? when asked why they are so strict, they just say, basta. i mean, i know they are worried kse iba na nga yung panahon ngayon, but they can't make decisions for me. the best that they can do is to advice me, and let me decide.
they give me petty excuses, and they decide for me, when i made paalam that i was goign out with a friend, they would say, wag na gayon, christmas season na. traffice kahit saan. can't they just say na, traffic ngayon. ok lang sa inyo lumabas kahit traffic? dang talaga! as in, wag ngayon, traffic. grrr!!!! :mad:
i love my parents. and i do understand their worries. but their being strict is sobrang killing me na. it's not like i want to be sobrang independent or something na e --- i know i'm not yet ready for that. i just want to explore the world slowly ... on my own. i have to learn to trust the people i'm with, not because they told me to trust them, but because i know for myself that they can be trusted.
help! how can i make them understand my stand regarding the matter? :rolleyes:
