ragnarok1945 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Several of my friends had that situation with them, but as they got older, their moms had no choice but to retract their statements (especially once you reach the uni level, then you MUST go independent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I know a few guys from my old school (now at the uni level) who's moms are still unwilling to give up the control. That just shows they can't accept the fact now that you're exposed to the society, you don't need them as much anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I found it very common in Asian families. Though many people will disagree with me, and I understand, since the new generation now allows far more flexibility, but when you come from an old school style of a family...............

ragnarok1945 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 that's true for the vast majority of mothers. And some (no matter how old you grow) will never see you any more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 It is among the reasons as to why so many people try to reach the independence age sooner than the standard: they simply cannot take living under the roof's rules anymore. Once they are separated, there won't be anyone to give them rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Sometimes it's just them showing they are concerned, but there are other times where you think they are simply babying you way too much. As I have said that some will never see you more than just a kid, some will also never see you're ready to make your own decisions yet, much less take your own initiative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 exactly my point. Some of them have serious trust issues. It's something they've never been able to understand: do they really think in their absence you won't be able to make it on your own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
