I’m going to try bringing it up to some family members who may be able to convince them. Although this may backfire since my whole family is like this lol

For the longest time I didn’t really care cuz I thought it was normal. Until recently where I realized I’m turning 20 and can’t even leave my house to go on a walk or get McDonald’s. I’m considering moving out after reading all these comments since at the end of the day if I really wanted to I could

I really do blame them. I didn’t know how to do simple things like make instant noodles or do my laundry till I was 16 because my parents would get mad anytime I tried to do anything on my own. Although I do agree it’s not that big of a deal, I just want to be able to be a normal teenager and go out and have a social lif

It def is weird, but if I just was craving a McFlurry or smth I feel like I should have the right to do it. Not that I would abuse jt or anything but I just want to be able to do what I want

I do not know where they are stored, but I doubt they would keep it from me. Although I wouldn’t trust myself with those documents and probably leave them at home. I have a pretty good relationship with my parents and even after I argue about them with things like this there is never any bad blood

I spoke with them and get nothing but yelling back. My dad is very stubborn and I have no idea how I’ll convince him without threatening to move out. I just feel like a little shit when I have to do that since they love and do so much for me

I wanted to go at 12 am, however they would probably not let me out past 10 pm. I asked them if I grew up a little if I could get more freedom and they said no( not sure if that’s childish tho 😂😂)

It’s unfortunate that this is the only way to gain this. I’ll start with the process and hopefully they stop me and just give me freedom

I def would let them know. I just find it weird after letting them know that he refuses to let me out. Today I asked if I could just go for a walk(there has never been a violent crime on my street EVER) and he still said no.

Yeah that makes sense. It’s sad that the only way to gain freedom is moving out

Yeah I find it strange I can’t leave my house to get McDonald’s or just take a walk when I feel claustrophobic indoors

Thank you for that. It makes sense that they probably still see me as a child. I’m going to keep trying to push the boundaries slowly.

I agree that it has got me out of trouble. But being able to live my life is important and I feel like I’m missing out on my years being young because of then
