Do you have a overprotective parent?

Question

OldWomanBySoul · Accepted Answer

Not anymore, to be fair I haven't decided if my dad was overprotective or just extremely controlling. Either way I hated it because I was basically never allowed to go to friends house or have sleepovers at friends place (usually I'd get to go to a sleepover once a year and go to friends house when my parents came with me which was basically max twice a year as well) until I got so used to not being around strangers or just people other than my family that I actually started hating going to peoples house so now I am super introverted and homebody even though I don't live with my parents nor do I talk to my dad. I now have only three friends whose house I actually like going to, not that often but still every once in a while enjoy it lol

Mmm… In between.

I had a bed time at 16.. 9:30. It became 1000 halfway through senior year when I was 17.
When I went out with people my mom didn’t know she’d get their license plate number. When I was in college my mom would secretly do background checks on people that I mentioned.
My parents were army though. My best friends in high school ended up being army brats with stricter parents as well lol.

Nah. Me and my friends were pretty much a free range kids growing up. As long as I was home for supper then home by town curfew, I was good to go.

That's one of the biggest problems with some kids, helicopter parents.

Not overprotective, my dad texts me everyday to see what I am up to, I think he live vicariously through me as he's not as mobile these days.

No. My parents were very kind, reasonable. I had lots of freedom.  they are not perfect, but they lived us in ways we keep our family unit together at all times.

My nom and grandma. Having parents like that stunted my growth as a man a bit.  It does harm to the child.

imfreeze95 · Answer

My parents have always been protective of me. I think being adopted and having Autism has something to do with it.
