Does anyone else have mega overprotective parents? All of a sudden my Dad has been soooo overprotective…. I have noo idea why. One time when I told him I ran on a treadmill at my friend’s house he gave me a looong lecture on the danger of treadmills. Just this morning my sister was being a jerk to me, so I [jokingly, DUH] announced that I was placing myself up for adoption, and my Dad freaked out and said how good I had it. :| I was JOKING. And if I want to go out with friends past like 7 o’clock he’ll ask about the people I’m going with even if he KNOWS them. And he said he’s thinking about letting me go to see the PG-13 movie Rock of Ages. IT’S PG13!!!! I’m 15!!!!! D:<
Don’t get me wrong, I love him to DEATH he is the best dad ever, but if anyone else has an overprotective parent…. how do I deal with this?!?! And it’s all of a sudden, is it something I did??
yes i have. he always asks who i’m going out with (not as is bf/gf, as in like with my mates). and he always warns me not to talk to people i don’t know, it’s so annoying :L grr
I literally thought LOL WUT at the treadmill thing.
I suppose I would just ask him up front why he’s being overprotective all of a sudden, or ask him if you’ve done anything lately that might have upset him.
My parents are SUPER overprotective too
Especial that i am an only child. . . Im 15 and they still bring me to almost everywhere they go and hardly allow me to go out with friends
Its pretty annoying
But their loosening up a bit (thankfully xD)
My advice is show your dad your responsible (atleast just in front of him) im sure he will loosen up when he sees u can be trusted :))
^or do what he said :)
My parents are super over protective. I swear they put a tracking chip in head.
Hahaha, my friend’s parents actually put a tracker chip in his car that sends them an email each time he goes over the speed limit on certain roads…. creepy….
And thanks for the comments everyone, I’m glad my Dad isn’t the only one xD

Felling your pain. I am 15 too, I just wanted to go see amovie with aguy friend ( we have been friends for a while) And, well, that idea was squashed quickly.
To deal with it? Honestly I have just tried my best to not do anything I know they would give me a long lecture about.Keep them ahppy, They might just be having a bad week at work or somthing, it could all just blow over :) Otherwise just reconginse that thier only trying to protect you ( cheesy eh?) Ohh and dint fight with them! Trust me, you wont win :)

For me that’s just plain scary @.@ I will totally freak out if I find out there’s a tracker chip in my head!!
Hmm maybe that’s why they are loosening up on me @.@
Here is what I tell my 11 year old when she accuses me of being overprotective….My fellow parents and I remember what WE used to do at your age, and if you add in the things that didn’t exist when we were teenagers…panic ensues. Good parents care what their kids are up to. I always say that if my daughter doesn’t complain or say she hates me at least once a week, then I’m not doing it right. ;-D
Yes, that is true, but if you think back, you probably were very angry when told you couldn’t do something, I’m not trying to offend, that is a good theory, but when you’re a kid, you like to have fun and be with your friends, I’m sure you can remember a time when you weren’t very pleased when you were told not to do something, and sometimes, it made you want to do it more…
