Can't be out past eleven, can't wear what you want to wear, can't do your hair how you want, and can't spend your money how you want. Welcome too only some of the rules that my overly strict parents have placed on me. What have I done to deserve this? Nothing. This is a problem that most teens and children face: overly strict parents. Even though my parents are overly strict, I know they are doing this for my own good. My parents have always been strict on my other siblings and me. As we got older it only got worse.
When I was about 8-14 the war between my parents and me was not as bad. My brother and I had no problem being in by nine-o-clock (that was our curfew until we were in high school), mainly because our transportation was our parents, and they would pick us up from wherever we were. Our curfew wasn't really ever a big deal with my brother and me. What caused the biggest fights was that we wanted to go to different places with our friends that our parents did not approve of. Our mom and dad would not let us go to a new friend's house unless they have had a chance to speak with their parents. So if our parents did not have enough time to visit a new friend's house we didn't get to go there until they could. If that friend was having a birthday party or any other type of party we were not allowed to go until the home was "approved" by our parents. My brother and I would moan and groan for days until our parents would go and meet their parents.
I remember one time that I had met a new friend that lived on the other side of the neighborhood from us. His name was Robert. The first day that my new friend Robert and I found out we lived so close to each other I decided to go to his house without asking my mom because I knew she wouldn't approve until she and Robert's mom could sit down to lunch together and get to know each other. Usually I got home from school and arrived at the bus stop at three and my mom did not get home from work until five.
