What would it take for me to disobey my parents?

Written By: Zehra Nasirali
Date: 5th November, 1996

 

            To me, disobeying my parents since childhood means a very bad deed to commit.  Although my parents and I get along very well, I scarcely disobey my parents and who ever I do, it is not such big of a thing as they make it to be.

            Since I am the youngest person in the household, my parents tremendously love and feel very possessive about me.  It takes a lot of coaxing for my parents to allow me to hang around with my friends at the mall or theater.  And when my permission is granted, I have a time limit.  Even though most of the time it is not my fault because my ride picked me late, my parents feel they are being taken advantage of.  They also despise me fussing around, sulking, not listening to their advice or any other kind of hanky panky.

            Overall, my parents do not like being taken for a ride, but however one thing that benefits me is that they cannot ground or punish me as their heart breaks to see me unhappy!
