My parents have always be generally cautiously lenient with me. If I said I was going to do something incredibly stupid they'd let me know, but otherwise it's always been a case of "yeah, let us know when you'll get back." When I was younger if I wanted to stay over somewhere, it was always a case of getting a phone number and an address but other than that it was more a case of "have a good time!"
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
They aren't because they don't know anything.
However, I like this girl that has overprotective parents so she can't actually go out with me although I think she likes me. >.<

Overprotective? Yes. As an example, I stayed out over a friend's house till midnight. Even though I told him where I was going to be and he confirmed that it was alright, when I came back he had an attitude. I was greeted with, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?" "Yes. It's 12:00 and I already told you where I was going to be. In fact you drove me there." It's like there's something that becoming a parent does to you. It makes you extremely unreasonable and equally controlling.
Over protective parents are a pain in the rear and I'll be the last person in the world to deny that. But at least they care.
Working in the school district at an elementary school I see parents every day park their cars in the parking lot or on the side of the street and wait inside their car, honking their horns, making these little waist high children run into a parking lot full of moving cars instead of getting out and holding their hands.
Sad, just sad
I hardly ever go out because my mom give me a full interogation. It goes a little something like this 1.Where are you going? 2.Who is going to be there? 3.What time are you leaving and coming home? 4. Wait who are these people? 5. Do they drink or do drugs? 6. don't forget to call home if you decide to go anywhere else and just call to check up anyways..... ya life sucks ^_^
I like Yuna cause, yeah.
When I was anything younger than 15 - when I was still the poster child christian - my parents were quite protective, perhaps even interrogative. But then they discovered that little christian me had "secrets" and doubts concerning the faith I was raised on, and well, I guess you could say they simply gave up in some ways. It could have simply been coincidental with my age and current events, but things seem to point in a direction that hovers near neglect.
But really, as frustrating as having overprotective parents may be, it does show that they do care to an extent.
