I really dislike this! I do not like this one bit. Wait, do parents think that, with all the training they think they have given us, we would not be able to fend for ourselves on our own? If that is the case, then they have lost it because it is certain they will leave earth before us. They wouldn't be able to protect us then. I have had so much cases of this, lack of trust, self denial, being shut down. At times, i just lay my head and begin to cry and wonder why on earth God gave me these kind of people. But who am i to question God's integrity. It is like everything i do is of nuisance to them, or is not always better, they want more than the best from me. Here are my parents perspective on how their child must be:
- Brilliant, not the average 15/20 or 18/20, they always expect 20/20 from me
- Self independent, they hate seeing me around friends, with friends, or talking to friends. To them, they want me to have no such thing as friends.
- Hardworking, you could call it " wayward child" the one that would have everything done before they even ask.
- Perfectionist.
- Clean
- Punctual: Everytime that schoolbus horns outside and im inside, OH LAWD! Its one tune or the other i will be hearing.
- The list is endless....
I can not meet up to all these, i try to tell them... Neither do i love being overprotected. Most of the times, when i sit beside the opposite gender in church, the suicidal eye my dad gives me. Chai!...
It does not have to extend to all this. I am me, not your idea of a perfect child. I only try to, but you pull me down. So, really, Leave me alone!. I have my life.

Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in this life.
