my parents treat me like a child...

[evs]

move out and get your own place. you are an adult now and should be on your own in the first place. your parents in some ways have the right to set up rules since you are still living under their own roof. so you have no choice but to suck it up. however, parents should also learn to let go of their kids, trust their kids decisions and respect it even if they are so against it . it's sad that they don't trust you since they are the very people that raised you and teach you a lot about life. anyway, maybe you also need to have an open communication with them, talk to them and tell them how you feel.

aw, depende na sa imong justification.

since when did lying became good?

[junmar4]

no matter how we justify that, lie is lie, and lying is not good. ma white lie, blue lie, pink lie or whatever color woud that lie be.

just tell them the truth nga dili na nimo kaya ila pagtratar nimo. if dili sila makasabot kay dili sila gustp mosugot then paglain na ug balay.

yeah, you're already old enough and adult enough to do things on your own. but so long as you still live at home you are still under the jurisdiction of your parents. you are going to have to act more mature and adult so that they'll see you that way and also tell them honestly how you feel. I think kanang parent separation stage from the kid is something that parents need to adjust to and get used to na their little girl is not so little anymore now. My 12 yr. old used to hold my hands when we go out together like shopping but lately dili na siya mo hold hands nako and she tells me no mom i'm embarrassed. so you see, there comes a point that your own individuality separates from your parents and they need to realize that. the only way to do that is if you tell them how you feel. lisud if you are in a family nga open communication has not been the norm. kay usually filipino families dili ka talk back ang kids. here sa states grabe ka open and expressive ang mga bata sa parents and i do prefer an environment like that its easier communication. So speak up your rights you're old enough and you need to make them see that through actions too.

ay naku! you live with them...u have no choice but to abide by their rules. as my dad always says... "my house. my rules." ang solusyon? hawa sa inyo balay. never mind ang isipin ng mga magulang mo na ikaw masama...ingrata...etcetera etcetera... you are still their child. alangan naman na they will disown you for being independent.

now...when u are already out of their poder... wag ka naman patiwara ng actions. BE RESPONSIBLE. just coz nakawala ka sa hawla eh excuse mo na yon na magwala and go partying all night or have a sleep over with just your bf as your guest hehehehe *wink*

you are after all 27. baka naman kasi ikaw mismo sige ka dagan kang mama mo for every little thing mao na nga she thinks she still has proprietory (tama ba usage ko nyan, beau?) rights over your life hehehehe.

another option is to wait for them to die..... which is masama pakinggan di ba....?

jun is so right... NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO...NO MATTER HOW NICELY YOU SAY IT.... they will always be hurt hehehehe. ganyan talga... ang tanong eh... will you allow yourself to be affected by it? if you think you have the capacity and the strength to go solo.... aw go oi!

my sis and i have been flying on planes ALONE since high school...going back and forth to manila. i had my own apartment sa manila nung college. IT IS NOT EASY to have your own place... to budget... etc etc. wala ka maid... ikaw lahat... unless u get a maid hehehehe. one thing though is that you will get a sense of maturity and responsibility that will spill over the rest of your life. (hopefully.... *keepingfingerscrossed*)

@jun... sagdi lang yan mga ideas ni rey... if he thinks that lying can be good....then let him experience his daughter lying to him when she gets older. and then you can ask him again... "since when did lying become good?"

parents (especially moms) will always treat us like children. whether we are 5 or 50. it doesnt matter to them. you just have to prove to them that you can stand on your own. move out and get your own place if you dont like it. i mean, i like it. its an honor to nga alagaran sa ginikanan. mao man jud na ilang gusto.

[burt]

para nako ok raman cguro na... palangga lang jud cguro ka kaayo sa imo parents.. in a way nga murag na over protective na... pero dapat thankful ka kay naa kay parents nga in.ana, compared sa uban nga pasagdaan lang nya karon mga single parents nya way klaro kung kinsay amahan sa ilang anak...

or possible sab nga wa pa nakita sa imong parents mkastand ka on your own, dats why importante kaayo nga motalk ka sa imo parensts about ana and show it to them nga responsible enough nka...

i have a friend who envied me so much coz my parents would call me before midnight to remind me of my "cinderella time" when i'm out with freinds. She said that she wished she had parents like mine.. i offered if she wanted a swap, hehhehe Coz her parents let her do whatever she wants and let's her stay out as long as she wants... but she hates the freedom....

As for me.. i'm craving for it...

But it's really up tothe parents to know when to lt go and let us live our lives... i'm 24 right now and i'm still on cinderella curfew... and this stays until i get married DAW...

I sometimes complain about it, but i'm just happy that my parents aren't that strict with me anymore.
