Let Go.

Growing up I have always been sheltered. My parent's raised my brother & I very well, at least I think so lol! We both did well in school & for the most part never caused too much trouble. I was probably the most obedient out of my brother & I. I always did everything I was told, because I wanted my parents to be proud of me. I always wanted them to be able to brag about me & say all these wonderful things. Don't say you never felt the same way because I know your lying! Lol!

Now there is only 1 major flaw. They always expect you to do it. Even as you get older they still want you to listen to them & do as your told. Can you see the problem with that? Now at 25 yrs old I am dealing with that problem dead on. It sucks lol! Normally when your my age you have your own separate life from your parents and/or family. Yea not me. They wanna be in EVERY aspect of my life. & they also think that I should do what they approve of.....

*sigh* Frustrating to say the least. I feel like I'm a teenager rebelling against my parents. Isn't that a crazy thing for a 25 year old person to say? I mean I have no children or a husband yet. So why do I have to not do certain things because my parent's don't approve? It gets worse. If I do something they don't like they guilt trip me & talk down about whatever it is. See how they try to be tricky to get there way?

So what do I do? I get that they wanna see me do good, but sometimes we gotta make our own mistakes, if they turn out that way, to learn & grow. I found this quote online that I have to share,

The first half of our life is ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.

Think about it for a second. True isn't it?

XOXO,
