Ok, Can't Take It Anymore

'(yea, lectured me about having my fiance in my room with me)'
Woa, thats really rough ! Guess you guys are gonna have one hell of a wedding night :p

My mother made me go to church untill I was thirteen. Thankfully my committed rationalist of a father somehow happened to be in charge of the youth group. My religious upbringing therefore consisted of frequent raids of the church kitchen for biscuits and tournament's of fuseball and table tennis .

My advice for the lady is either talk with them and make them understand you are not 12 anymore or else get caller ID when you move out. =P

Well... there's a reason I'm 21 and finally moving out! I've tried talking to them since I was like 14! It doesn't work with my parents. I had hoped that when I got into my twenties that things would change. Nope. So now I finally have the money to get out of here, so I'm taking my chance!

Damn most of you have really restrictive parents! When I came of age my parents just naturally seemed to know what freedoms to a lot me and which ones to restrict, which was very few. For example, I could drink since I was sixteen, but only if they knew first and I was NEVER to drive afterward or get into a car with someone who did. One thing my parents never liked was my promiscuity, but that was because I was fourteen and running around with 18 year old chicks all the time. The first time they figured out what I was doing they were shocked, then really pissed off; they made me to talk to my preacher, which was more of a punishment for him cause he didn't know what to say ha ha ha. That is about the only thing they have ever done to really piss me off, but they always dog me about playing video games and they really hate anime (always calling the cartoons just to piss me off) but they?re aright and compared to your parents, they're a godsend.

LSI, I hope that once you move out your parents will start to form a more adult relationship with you rather than the childish one they seem fixated on, and good luck on moving out!

My parents allowed me to do whatever I wanted (to busy with my problem child brothers). They are lucky I wasn't that wild till about 15 years of age. Never got into any trouble with the law or school before that and very little trouble with the law afterwards (ofcourse, alot is legal over here), some of trouble with school but nothing out of the ordinary. I never had a time I had to be home but I always came home on time by myself. It made me very independant but also I have a big problem with authority. If someone tells me I 'have' to do something they better duck for cover. I HATE the have word. My moto, there are ALWAYS options.

Now if I would have parents who would go religious on me right now and tell me do do this and live my life like that I would go off on them like they have never seen before. How would they dare to tell me how to live my life and if they believe in a higher power so much than they must believe that God wants me to live my life the way I'm living it or he would have stept in. Luckily (christian) religion is a dieing lifestyle over here and religious people are a minority so there won't be society's pressure to hold yourself to those rules which makes it easier to let go of your parents lifestyle. Something thats probably harder when your whole community is religious and has certain expectations of you.


Now for something usefull. LSI, if you really have a problem with your parents lifestyle a good thing to get through to them is write a long letter to them. In that letter you can show how you feel and that you are an adult. Letters help in these kind of situations since I imagine in discussions with your parents they won't always let you say all that you want. In a letter you can put the whole story without being interupted. Just a thought

Holy shit dude, an arranged marriage!!! I thought that stuff only happened in movies these days! I'm too much of a romantic to even fathom being forced into marring someone; I give you my deepest and most sincere condolences. Or I could give you an awesome pair of running shoes so you get the hell out of Dodge, no joke.

[rav96]

SUGOI!!! free shoes! AWESOM-0

He's not the only one thats cursed. I have just now gotten to play violent video games.

Oh, and befor you ask about talking to my parents, doesn't work, They call it backtalking

if I talk without their permission. As soon as I'm done with College I'm going to move as

far away as I can and never, preferably Japan.

[ladysilverice]

Well, it's encouraging to hear that I'm not the only one with bizarre parents. I've learned just to tune them out when they talk because I've told them I'm not really religious, but they're too busy spouting to hear me. My Dad actually tried to take my car away once when I was driving up to visit my fiance. I said "fuck this" and walked out the door with my bag and my keys for the weekend. They felt me going to visit him was going to "damage my purity." Yea, I've kept them in the dark about the whole sex thing. I would never see the light of day if they knew. My Mom tried to call the cops and report a stolen car on me that weekend. But Dad has a little more sense than her. They tried to sit me down and have a "heart to heart about my rebellion issue" but I blew them off and went out drinking! :eek:
I'M GOING TO HELL PEOPLES!!!! WOOT!

[rav96]

hahahahaha im not even supposed to know what sex is
kissing makes girls pregnant - honest

They actually did that to you??? Sounds so like my parents. Lat year just because I was

sleeping in in my Dorm they called the Police and filed a missing persons report. Police

guy actually asked me where I'd been. I really am getting tired of my parents.
