do parents know best?

August 3, 2008 7:54am CST
from conception up to present, they were there for you.. they make decisions for you when you.. but it is really necessary that they are still the ones who will decide for you even if at you're in legal age? you can't question them because as what they say, parents know best... does that mean, you don't have the right to decide for yourself because they know better than you are? i hate it..

if you are under their wings, or under their responsibility, meaning they are the once that provide you with your needs, parents has the right to decide what is good for you and for the family, we live in their house, we eat the food they provide for us, provide us clothings, we should abide by their house rules, but if we are productive enough and can sustain things for ourselves, parents still has the freedom to suggest what you should do, but in the end you are still the one that decides for your self.

I think sometime they are really know more than ourselves, after all they have lived in the world longer then us , they have come though so much, here you shoule belive them . but i think it's impossible for them to know all of the thing ,or what have happened to you ,them can't know you more than yourself ,so maybe they can let you to do something by yourself
