Do you have a overprotective parent?


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.
She was a helicopter mom until high school when she’d just push us to get out and about.
My husband is very protective. My father less so since I married him.
Yes, my parents were strict- moreso my dad. Every boyfriend I've ever had found him intimidating and he did so purposely.
My late Mom was overprotective of us kids growing up.
I was protected with an innocent pure life by my parents
You're very lucky that you had such a merry childhood and caring parents
@PhantomMenace22 of course Miami Florida was very rough in the downtown area, and I was completely kept away from all that stuff. All the crime I was protected I came from one of those Disney movies it was like with pure good natural upbringing. of course we didn’t live in the downtown area but my mom and dad kept me away from bad people.
Yes, but Miami is home to an abundance of wealthy communities, as well, right? I mean not all people are blessed with protective and supportive parents. Some of them unfortunately tend to be toxic, strict, authoritarian, mean and/or abusive
@PhantomMenace22 back in the day Miami was a rough city as you saw in the movie Scarface around that era. Yes, there’s always rich people around Miami, but there’s crime that can take place anywhere FBI shootings in the wrong locations with criminals. Google the Miami, FBI shootings and you’ll see it was close to my house.
But you lived in a $1 million mansion. How is that possible?
@PhantomMenace22 people drive down on US 2 and FBI chase. That happened it didn’t come from my area I came from a bad area that landed about a mile and a half from my house. By a dentist office. It was a big car chase. That was so well known they made a movie about that a biography.
Yes both my parents are very protective but I´d consider my mum overprotective.
not really, my mom worried about me a lot, no clue why, I was a perfect angel, ya right.
No I live with my mom ( I'm 17) and she is way chill and ok about a lot of things and lets me run my own personal life.
My nom and grandma. Having parents like that stunted my growth as a man a bit.
It does harm to the child.
My parents have always been protective of me. I think being adopted and having Autism has something to do with it.
No. My parents would throw me in valley of hell just for their entertainment.
My mom is overprotective couldn't do a lot of things in my teens and 20's.
Yes. So much that I would be searched everywhere if I decided to run away.
My parents were when they were alive and I was younger. Now I'm very protective of my kids
No, but this gives me another opportunity to praise my Mom!
Nope. Negligently neglectful
Mom depends, dad not really
Yes my mother is overprotective, its very boring
Yes but not so much coz I’m far away 🤣
