Overprotective ParentsEssay Preview: Overprotective ParentsReport this essayOverprotective ParentsWhat are the roles of parents? I believe that the role of parents is essential for the growing minds of teenagers. Parents should be there to support me in my time of need or in my time of glory. I should be able to tell my parents everything instead of lying all the time to go somewhere or avoid a certain subject. They should not keep breathing over my neck to know everything there is to know about me by snooping through my room or for me to give them details on what happened at a movie one night. My parents should let me experience the real world and not have me kept locked up in the house all the time. They will not always be there to protect me from the harsh reality of life. Overprotective parents aggravate me because they invade my privacy, they treat me as a child, they have me on a curfew, they do not support me, they are inconsiderate of my feelings, and they do not communicate with me.

Overprotective ParentsReport this essayMy mom is a parent, he is a nurse, he is a babysitter, he is a counselor, one of a kind, he is married to a teacher, he was abused as a child, he is a teacher, he is a loving son, his mother spent many years being a mother to him. He does not want anything to do with this abuse by the other parents. My mother and I do not know if he was ever abused by his or his sisters or by anyone. All of us have children that were abused by the other parents because we are all different, but we are all here to help. I feel that his lack of a role as a “mother” is so bad that it must be addressed in this document. My mom and I have a lot of questions and concerns about the lack of role as a parent and the need to address this problem. Our own parents have been the most effective parents in our lives, and now they are out to hurt and hurt us, which is the issue. There are not enough professionals, organizations, agencies that can support our families who would do the same. It makes you wonder what that is we need. What kind of a role can we play caring, care, care for others through the family system? Is it too much to ask that our children learn to be adults, learn to respect a parent’s wishes, and learn how to care for themselves during these difficult times?
[…] I have been trying to come up with a solution to this problem for years and years and maybe even years. Overprotective parents is very difficult to solve if you are not able to do it at one time. I can no longer understand why they want to force me or to stop me from having my own conversations. But I can still understand why this could be that way. As parents, we are not the ones dictating each other’s lives, we are the ones who care about the safety of our children. We don’t have to do everything to avoid conflict. It’s all within the family system. It’s not like this is a parent’s role, it’s just a matter of having your own issues, and the problem arises when he or she does.
[…] It was my parents who made me so angry during my childhood. If I had been able to control them, I would have loved them as much as any child. And now that I have this opportunity to share it with others, I look forward to sharing theirs with others. To do things for them would be a great thing. But I would also need an ally to do it for me. The biggest issue with the parents, the biggest problem with their way of life, is that they constantly talk about everything, and do things that they do for themselves.
Overprotective ParentsReport this essayOverprotective ParentsWhy do parents need to take responsibility for their children’s behavior? I see how in our society, there are very few professionals who know and teach about the problems that parents have in their lives and their children and take responsibility for that behavior. To take a child to therapy or a parenting class would be to try and figure out how to help them better navigate life. It’d be difficult, even impossible, and even very hard to provide good help to their children for their problems. The fact is that most therapists, especially those who know more about their children, and can help them in the process are probably not people who understand our problem. I am writing this because I am truly convinced that this problem is real. I am writing this about a person who has been abused as a child, and is currently learning how to speak for himself. He has never written a book about this kind of abuse or about this situation of an abusive parent. It is important for him to not be a passive observer of this problem,

Overprotective parents aggravate me because they invade my privacy. Privacy to me is not snooping through any of my things and letting me have my personal space. My parents just call my name when they are right by my door and then just barge in when I answer. I hate that because I may be getting dressed from just getting out of the shower. Sometimes my mom goes through my trash to find something to yell at me for and it is so disgusting. I sometimes come home to find the things in my room are rearranged differently. That is another way of knowing someone has been in my room and snooping around. When I am on my laptop, she peers over my shoulder and questions what picture I am looking at or what I am writing. I tell her it is none of her business and she goes on about how I am living under her roof so it is her business. She gives me no time for myself, when I want to be alone she bothers me.
My parents treat me like a child. I am 18 years old, an adult and I get treated like a ten year old. They always constantly remind me to do something such as wash the dishes, take out the trash, or even feed the cats. They do not understand that I know that I need to do these things. I always have to ask permission on where I am going, who I am with, and what time I am going to be home. I am not that little child anymore who has to be told to take a shower, brush my teeth, eat my vegetables, or comb my hair. My parents like to sit on the couch and eat, but they tell me that I cannot sit and eat on the couch. The only time I can do that, is if we have a party. I am an adult and I would like to be treated like one. It is ridiculous living in a world full of adults, but only knowing the life of a child.
Overprotective parents aggravate me because I am put on a curfew. Being that I am 18 and in a college atmosphere, I still have to make a curfew. My parents call an “early night” nine or ten oclock at the latest. I would like to stay out until two or three oclock in the morning from a party and to just experience the college lifestyle. Since I live at home, I do not receive that luxury of staying out late at night and experiencing college life. I cannot hang out with the majority of my friends after they get off of work because they get off around nine or ten at night. Although I am borrowing my parents car, I still should be able to go out as late as I want and I will be responsible enough to come back in one piece.
