I grew up with my strict parents and I happen to be the only girl in the family. My parents were teachers as at the time I was growing up. Chai! You can imagine life with them. They monitor every damn thing about me. The way I dress, the type of friends I move with and my movements. What is boyfriend(I mean friend with a boy) I did not have a relationship with my dad because of his strict nature. I thought admission into higher institution will gimme my freedom but did not turn out to be the kind of freedom I want. The fear of my dad's strict was always on my mind during my stay in school. Now, something happened last week! My dad asked 'when are we meeting him?' I was like 'meet who'? So, my dad(a very strict man) can ask me about boyfriend? Really? I was taken aback! I went to my mum and she asked 'don't you have someone you are dating right from start'? Chisos! I can't believe those are my parents talking to me about boyfriend. Now, my question is why are they so strict and at the same time expect us to violate their rules? Are they not complicated? Why are strict parents like this? Share your experience with your strict parents here please. Happy sunday guys. 4 Likes |

lol same thing with me and I wonder that are this people expecting the husband to fall down from heaven and ask for my hand in marriage? they forget things are not done like the old days anymore,relationship needs time to bloom not guy see you,likes you and go and see your father like their case was. Now,guy sees you,ask you out,check you out,takes his time,study you,waste your time,eventually see your father or leave you sef world have turn upside down 2 Likes |

They act strict because they care and when they start asking questions about their potential son-in-law, it's because they are getting tired of having you around  |
