#strict parents

[moonluv2r]

i could be unstoppable if only strict parents weren't holding me back

[call-me-chips]

Oh, and another one

I wasn't allowed to watch anything Star Wars related until I was around 14-15, but my siblings after me were allowed to watch it at like, 8

Woo! :D

/sarcastic

I'm bored, so here's some shows/movies I wasn't allowed to watch as a kid + why I wasn't allowed to watch them

My little pony: Use of dark magic and there was a non-evil dragon in it. My parents didn't like it that the dragon was a good guy

Barbie: Unrealistic body standards

Princess and the frog: Use of dark magic/voodoo/devilish stuff

Sleeping beauty: Not quite sure. Probably the dragon and Maleficent

Jake and the neverland pirates: The pirates in the show are good guys

Bubble guppies: The characters are showing their stomachs

The little mermaid: Ariel shows her stomach

Aladdin: Jasmine shows her stomach

Doc mcstuffins: The main character has a dragon friend that's not evil

Spongebob: The characters are "dumb" and my parents didn't want me to be dumb

Phineas and Ferb: Teenage romance/drama

Ninjago: Lots of fighting and violence

Teen titans/teen titans go: Again, lots of fighting

Alvin and the chipmunks 2: The chipmunks had love interests

The hunchback of notre dame: I really don't know about this one

Coco: Dead people???? Idk xD

Pokemon: My parents didn't want me addicted to pokemon go

Httyd race to the edge: Er were allowed to watch this, until mother heard Snotlout throwing insults

Harry potter: Witches and dark magic

Boss baby: I really don't know why I wasn't allowed this

Kim possible: Kim showed her stomach

Power rangers: Lots of fighting

The og sonic the hedgehog series: The characters trash-talked too much

Nightmare before christmas: It was Halloween themed

Coraline: It was scary (I actually get this one and I still don't wanna watch Coraline xD)

Descendants: Witches/magic

Turning red: Talk of periods/puberty

Toy story 3: It was "too scary"

Onward: Witches/wizards

Guardians of the galaxy 2: Too many inappropriate jokes

Smurfs: Again, I have no idea why, we just weren't allowed

Go Diego go: Not sure about this one, but I think it was because Diego made friends with dangerous animals

Troll hunters: Many a magic use

And even the shows I was allowed to watch, I couldn't watch any Halloween themed episodes, because my parents didn't want me thinking that trick or treating was a good idea

[mymiserablediaries]

There is an ache in my heart for the imagined beauty of a life I haven't had, from which I had been locked out, and it never goes away.

[a-meh]

[weepingdreamersandwich]

I wonder if my parents realize that they've already lost me. That my smiles are fake and my eyes are constantly searching for escape routes. That I'm just biding my time until I can be free of them. I wonder if they know that I was never theirs to keep.

Do any of y'all have strict parents I wanna know and how strict are they?

[shotsyfeather]

Parents - *We are trusting you blindly coz we love you, never break this trust*

Me - *nodding happily thinking I'll never do any wrong*

*Talked to a boy*

Parents - *You broke our trust, ungrateful brat*

*Got little less marks*

Parents - *You broke our trust, ungrateful brat*

*Gave my best friend something*

Parents - *You broke our trust, ungrateful brat*

*Made a social media account*

Parents - *You broke our trust, ungrateful brat*

*Got a call from a friend and they don't know about it*

Parents - *You broke our trust, ungrateful brat*

DO YOU WANT ME TO BE A FUCKING ROBOT WHO WILL WORK ACCORDING TO THE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS ONLY ??????????

ive been thinking a bit recently and i thought id share how i hid things, for any of my followers that may be in a toxic living environment and need to hide something such as a phone or any other small object.

1 - wrap it. wrap it in toilet paper or napkins, this is to stop it from making noise and to hide it even more. the messier the better.

2 - put it in something. put it in a small box or container that nobody would expect to look in. make sure that its hand-held size and can safey hide the object. the smaller, the better. some things may be able to fit in empty pill bottles, wallets, mini drawstring bags or empty acne pad containers.

3 - hide it in plain sight. take the container and put it somewhere nobody would really expect it to be. for example, the bottom of a cluttered nightstand, in the very back in the corner of your closet, in a shoe, just anywhere that will hide the object while still making it appear "normal" or hidden away.

this guide could be used for secret phones, religious items youre trying to keep a secret such as tarot cards or crystals, etc etc. anything small, heres a guide to hide. probably wont work for clothes or bigger items but you can definitely try lol.

"Why don't you spend time with us?" they say, "Keep your phone away at the table."

Parents say they want to talk — until it's about anything real.

They don't want to know about how their plans for your future make you feel.

They don't want to know your fears, hopes or dreams.

The things you're interested in — your favourite music, games and movies;

Or the things you've come to believe.

Sometimes it feels like parents don't want to get to know you as a person. They only see you in relation to themselves.

Or sometimes they do talk about music and games and movies, and it's even worse — because the conversations you want to have are serious.

And it's worse because it becomes very clear, that they don't want to have conversations that matter. That, god forbid, make them feel.

They want to avoid talking about all the times they yelled at you. No apology, no acknowledgement. Just glaze over those parts and pretend everything's normal. Neither guilt nor remorse.

And you're left wondering whether this thing you have a memory of actually happened, because everyone is acting like it didn't. And whether your anger is warranted, because everyone is acting like it isn't.

An unspoken decision: "Yes, we were harsh earlier, but we felt bad and are being nice now"

The implied demand: "...so be grateful,"

The undercurrent of a threat: "...or I'll get angry again."

And a push to move on: "Why do you bear grudges? Leave the past in the past."

All these little clues, that you learn to read in their body language and their eyes and their vibe.

And then they balk when you don't call them. Or jump at the chance to spend time with them — or even have a relationship.

It's weird, loving people you don't like. That you'd never choose of your own volition; that you'd never be friends had you met in the real world. People you're indebted to anyway, because they took care of you your whole life and changed your diapers and drove you to school, and what friend would ever do that?

Had they been overly abusive I would've cut them off without guilt; if I didn't know that despite it all, they really did love me, I wouldn't have cared about hurting their feelings.

Some people... you love them only because they are family. If they were a boyfriend, I would've broken up with them; if they were a spouse I would've divorced them. Alas, they are my parents, and I'm destined to love them. To give up a kidney for them if need be, but not any days out of my workweek.

I don't have these conversations with my family because I've come to realise that this is something they're not emotionally equipped to handle. Too much self-awareness would bring out memories not only of the mistakes they made with me, but also all the times adults in their childhood failed them; of all the ways they themselves were wronged; all the years they wasted because of choices they didn't know they had; and all the things they wish they'd done differently. So I understand; the flood of anger and regrets it brings to the surface must be draining.

But that also means that I'll distance myself from them, because for me, their misunderstood love is draining. And because this has to stop somewhere; someone has to start choosing differently — and I've decided it'll be me.

"Strict parents raise respectful children"

They raise kids who are pretty good at hiding and lying when necessary

aroace with strict parents problem #1026

i cant date boys but i cant not date boys

[slaras-world]

Why does my life look like this shit 😒

[barebon35]

I think a good way to judge the actions of parents is to look at them and ask yourself how Riz Gukgak would respond to hearing that story. Like can he imagine his mom doing that? Would Sarah Lynn ever do that to Fig? Would Jawbone walk away unconcerned if you dropped that in conversation? Would Gorgug have gone into a rage over that? Would Cathilda treat Fabian that way? Lastly, is it something you can see the Applebees or the Aelwyns doing?
