Am I being too dramatic?
I am almost 20 and my middle eastern parents (my mom mainly) still monitor me with life360. I don’t mind sharing my location it’s just that having an entire app for it is quite ridiculous to me. I feel as though it strips me of all sense of autonomy. They don’t want me staying out past 7 and scold me over the phone for getting home at 11 (They say it’s dangerous at night but I am never alone and i’ve always got friends with me). I understood being scared for my wellbeing and safety but having me locked inside isn’t the solution. For context i’ve been living here in the states for two years now and my parents are still living in the middle east. So I just find it really strange how they act like they know things better than me, like i’m the one actually living here i would know things that they wouldn’t?? that’s only logical right?? They make me feel so crazy with their stubbornness i don’t know what to do. I feel like I’ve been robbed out of so many basic life experiences needed to build my emotional intelligence and overall self.
