18 Things People With Strict Parents Completely Understand

    It's like living with a prison warden who thinks you're the best person in the world.

    1. Sleepovers? Nope.

    2. Then, again, you were the "good kid" with the strict parents, so other parents always wanted their kids to hang out with you.

    3. Plus, your parents were perpetual chaperones.

    4. You didn't even need a curfew.

    5. A lot of pop culture references from childhood fly over your head now.

    6. Also, you knew better than to ask to dye your hair.

    7. And dating?

    8. And you knew the pain of having your fashion choices vetoed.

    9. And an allowance? Ha.

    10. But you knew a way around that: Grandparents.

    11. ...Because you were a stealth ninja master when it came to changing the second you left the house.

    12. That phase you went through where you thought it might be cool to call your parents by their first names?

    13. And then there were the constant texts.

    14. And constant voicemails.

    15. And constantly hiring private investigators to tail you.

    16. But you know, deep down, that they were just trying to show how much they love you.

    17. ...And that they were probably right about a thing or two.

    18. ...And that you'll probably be the same way once you're a parent.
