Parents

What do you guys think of your parents? Are they overprotective? Kind? Friendly? Strict? What are they?

Mine? They are mighty strict and protective, which I'm starting to feel a little suffocated by them.

• Cannot go out everyday
• Curfew: Cannot go home too late (this have been compromised)
• No staying over at friend's house (even if my parents know them)
• Cannot stay over for chalet
• Cannot go to bf's house too often (ok I understand this and I have compromised)
• Every Sunday is strictly Family Day (must we make one day for such a day? we don't even go for outings only for brunch or dinner)
• No boyfriend till you go out to work ( finally they accepted fab, however I cannot let my relatives know it. WTH!)

I capable of taking care of myself, I know what is wrong and what is right so why are they so protective? Because I'm the eldest? I'm a girl? Which one or both?

Is it because I always need to get their permission for so many things, that I feel that I have become extremely indecisive, I can't seem to make up my mind. Are they over protective that sometimes I find myself running away from responsibilities. I'm just afraid to take risk though I always say others for being so. I'm just a timid little girl, not able to face society.

Sometimes I feel that I behave like a snob or some da4 xiao3 jie3, though I'm not one. I hate giving people that impression that I'm such a person. Once someone thought I was a some da4 xiao3 jie3 due to the way I behave and talk I suppose. I hate that as it doesn't mean any good, it means I'm snobbish, cannot take suffering, a girls who gets everything she wants? No I don't.

However I do not mean that what my parents did is wrong, they care for me and are protecting me the way they think is good for me. But they never understand why I feel I should be given more freedom. They are good parents, we joked and played with each other but it's not enough. Maybe I'm just being really naive and childish at this, I need to grow up.
