Search Results: parenting style

I'm 13 and my parents are SUPER strict. If I'm going in the basement or in the office or any room in the house they will ask why are you going there and they finally let me leave the house to walk or bike on my own but I can't even leave the neiborhood which is really small. Any time she brings me to the mall with a friend she won't let us walk around ourselves she has to be with us at all times this even happens when it's just me and my mom. She won't let me throw any parties or go to the few I'm invited to. I'm so responsible too I'm the one that cleans the whole house and I cook half of the meals for my family. I've never done anything they have told me not to do. My parents will also not let me listen to the music I like or the music that's in when ever I want to buy something in style they will always say no and ask why do these jeans have holes in them why is this shirt so short why is this shirt so baggy why is there a cut out in the back of the shirt they get so annoying

I hope someone has a answer for me because I'm stuck

When I get married, I don't think I will want children there (like under the age of 16 or 18).

I would want to have an outdoor ceremony and a nighttime, fancy reception. I would want to keep the guest list under 200 (150 if i can) and I would want it to be a fun, party-style affair. I also wouldn't want to pay a ton of money/plate for kids that won't touch their meals.

What do you think about a child free wedding?

I am 24 now and hope to be married by 30 (ideally, but obviously that's not a sure thing). I have nieces and nephews that would be under the 16 age cutoff at that time so I was thinking about including them in the ceremony, but having my reception be adult only.

To people who say "you're not even getting married, who cares?" True. I'm not, but i want to know what the general consensus is about this. I don't want to offend people, but I also don't want to place the wants and wishes of my parent guests above my own on my wedding day.
