Overprotective Parents

[Kareh.]

Oh god. I know exactly how overprotective parents work. ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERNET...
My mother had some guy come and block off all of my messanger services. I told her that I wasn't really talking to a lot of people online anymore.
So she took that off. But she still is cautious about it. I really can't blame her, though... :P

But yeah. There's my two cents.

I don't know, but I think yes, they are very protective but not over protective. They trust me and know what i am doing but since I hardly get out of the house alone unless I am going to college then they have very little to ask me about, duh!

My mom is quite the opposite. She regulary tries to do crap like throw me out the house even though I'd have nowhere to live, so over protective parents seem like a blessing to me I'd like one who merely cares. I suppose in a sense it was my own fault for when she was protective and did give a crap about me telling her I was an adult and could make my own mistakes in this life and she could back the hell off.

My Mum is slightly more protective of me than my dad - but neither of them are really overprotective.
Actually, when I first told my mum I was meeting people I'd met on the internet, I'd already met them beforehand, and the first time I met them I said I was meeting friends from school. xD But, she's generally okay with it, as long as I know the person isn't some crazed paedophile. But... other than internet people, my mum isn't terribly protective of me - except maybe when it comes to boys. xD But, I assume that's a typical mother attitude...? =[

My dad on the other hand... I don't want to say he doesn't care, because that's a bit extreme, but he's not all that bothered. I asked him if people I'd met here could come to stay for a while, and he was "Sure thing". No questions asked, no "Who are they?", "where did you meet them?" etc. But, I'm not complaining.

no one has been raped (or scammed) after giving their address to Loony BoB so far.

Yes. Absolutely. Definitely. Couldn't be more right. I'll never be caught. Wait, what?

My parents are underprotective! They haven't called me in a month and they've turned my room into 'an activity room'. Stupid room with its stupid activities.

My parents want me to chill, let loose and party wild. o_o;;

[Araciel]

i had underprotective parents...but i never did much.

Saw parents today. Overprotective so killed them. Tasty.

When I lived with my aunt, she wouldn't let me do ANYTHING.
Well, she would let (made) me do what she wanted, but she wasn't overprotective, just dictating over everything that I did.
T-T

My parents aren't overprotective - it's not that they don't care about my safety, they just don't worry over little things that have no consequence. There have been a few times my mother has been a bit too worrying, but overall she's fine.

[Big Brother]

My parents are lenient about some things, strict about others. My mom, like many mothers, has a problem accepting that I'm an adult and can more or less fend for myself. One thing that contributes to this is that I'm not a healthy man. I have Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and I'm a cancer survivor, so of course she'd be worried.

Its annoying when I'm going out and they ask for like a million details. Or when my friends or siblings misbehave and I get blamed for it.
I'll explain to them why they are wrong and they won't listen.

I've heard it said that children often become like their parents later in life. I'm pretty sure I'll avoid their mistakes when I think about it now though. What about you guys?

my parents were never too strict. even when i was younger they always said if im drunk somewheres to call for a ride and not drive myself. so obviously they were pretty leniant. also when i was young i was smart in the woods so they never had to worry about me being eaten by a bear. also i was shooting guns, playing with knives and setting off fireworks at a pretty young age so obviously they had some trust in me. and so far all my incodents involveing cops they mainly just laugh at me for it. seeing as i never got into to much trouble or did drugs or anything i was worth trusting i guess.

It sounds to me like most of you here are very lucky to have parents who love you and are concerned for your safety. When you all become parents you'll know exactly where they're coming from.
