 Finally Moving Out!!

Moving out of your parents house is the best day of you life after high scool. Or so you think... Then comes bills, and learning a whole new sense of personal responsbility. Then you slowly begin to see why your parents did everything they could to prepare you for "the real world." And as much as you do not want to admit it, they really did have a reason for every rule they had. While under your parents roof, cerfew was a way for your parents to ruin your social life because it was guaranteed that you had at least 2 or 3 friends who did not have a cerfew at all. Also, a parent's perrogative was not to destroy your sex life in high school, it was to protect you from the rising pregnancy rate as well as the ever increasing STD rate. This is the reason they did not want you going to parties with no adult supervision. But of course, there is the moment when the parents step aside and let their children make their own mistakes. Some parents wait till their kids graduate, others are able to let go sooner. But now that parents are no longer around and have no say on anything you do... what do you do? Do you go out and party all night long since you no longer have a cerfew? Or do you stay at home and study for your exam that is at 8:00 am the next day? Do you take the bottle of alcohol since you won't have to pretent you aren't drunk as soon as you get home? Or do you reject the bottle and stay sober all night so you make sure you actually do make it home? Are you going to get a job so you can pay rent? Or will you be calling mommy and daddy at the end of the month because you are short a few hundred dollars? These questions do not only tell about what kind of person you are, but it also says something about how you were raised. How will you raise your children? Will you be as strict as your parents were on you? Or will you be totally different and let your kids do everything you couldn't?

Nice post. Every parents tries to get a balance between the two I think - until they realise they've turned into a carbon copy of their parents, and so it goes on. lol
