Search Results: overprotective parents

By that I meant in not just them being the typical parents who is into the ''obey me, I'll show you who's boss'' route but also being a friend, someone who has patience, actually takes the time to teach and guide you, someone you don't have to lie to nor keep secrets, etc.

I'm assuming that wouldn't be the majority. For instance if it's a girl coming from strict, overprotective parents that won't let her date pass the age of 18 or has to hide a boyfriend from her parents then they can't be the best parents.

So I was with the guy I'm seeing tonight and we were lying on his sofa. We were talking about bringing SO's home to meet the parents. At which I added 'that mums are usually pretty overprotective of their sons and sometimes don't like the thought of other females taking the limelight'

At this point we were making out, and I said I'd be so mortified if his mum was to walk in on us kissing.

He then went to reply to what I said and quickly cut himself off. He started laughing a little, and refused to tell me what he was thinking.

Then he eventually admitted 'I'd just tell my mum that's the only way she's ever going to get grandkids' and then got extremely flustered and told me he was 'embarrassed that he'd just thought about kids' I was just like... ok 😂 And kinda laughed as he seemed overly stressed about it haha.

I went on to say 'well, maybe your mum would like me then since I want kids... but just not right now' and he then replied 'yeah I'm not ready for kids anytime soon'

It was just odd since he's told me about his mum wanting to be a Gran before. Also, he's told me he doesn't really like kids?

so I guess I'm wondering, what was that all about? 😂

I just found it really weird though because this is a guy who doesn't even seem to want kids, at all. Yet, he brought the idea up. I went on to say 'well, maybe your mum would like me then since, I'd give her grandkids... but just not right now' and he then replied 'yeah I'm not ready for kids anytime soon'

So, were your parents overprotective or laid back with you when you were growing up? Describe what made them overprotective/laid back.

Me: my parents are definitely overprotective, there's a lot of stuff I can't do just because they're scared something might happen even though I'm a responsible person. Plus we're Christian so any sort of cursing, bad behavior, and dressing up for Halloween/trick or treating has always been out of the question.

So, how about you?
