My sister is 15 years older than me, she was allowed to basically run wild, no curfew no interrogations. She worked at a friggin nightclub at 17. Me on the other hand, who never got in any trouble anyway, had to check in every hour and wasn't allowed to leave the house with friends unless my mom had met them and at least one of their parents.
They just love you. It's not that they don't trust you, they just don't trust the world to not hurt you.
Unless they said, "we don't trust you." Then my statement is null and void.
My parents didn't exactly say that. But they did say "We don't feel you're responsible enough for our trust just yet. " but what bothers me is one time, their plane was delayed four days because of snow, so I was by myself for four days, and not only did I not burn the house down, I also managed to fix the leak me dad was having issues with before they left on vacation. And I was at school for two of those days. i'm 15 years old, and I still don't get any privacy. I feel like they ought to have a little trust in me by now... I'm not 6 anymore.
That's very understandable. When you have proven that you can be trustworthy in such major ways, parents should be at least a little more trusting and lenient. Sadly, that just doesnt happen sometimes
I have a 'friend' who cannot grasp this. Ever since she got a job at the shop near my neighborhood, she thinks it's perectly ok to swing by my house with a few minutes warning or notice. She'll get mad when I tell her I can't hang out out of the blue, and get pissed off when she finds me with people I had planned to hang out with a week beforehand. People just need to understand that not everyone has the privileges or freedom that you do and you should respect that.
