Strict Parents: What They Really Teach You

'm going to be talking about what having strict parents really teaches children. My parents were strict on me growing up, not so much now that I am 18. The two main things I learned is that one, how to listen for footsteps, and two, how to lie on command. Growing up I knew who was about to be at my door by the sound of their footsteps. I knew if it was going to be my mother or my step father. Going along with footsteps you also learn whos is whos. I could hear my mom or dad coming down my hall when they were at the beginning of the hall. Which if having to hide something gave me ample time too. I had many back-up phones, that didn't really get used because my parents didn't really take my phone for punishment. Of course now, they couldn't any way because I bought a new phone and spent $495 on my new phone. Neither one of my parents pays my phone bill either. My boyfriend pays it. So I bought the phone and my boyfriend pays the phone bill, so my parents can't take my phone now any way. Plus, I'm 18. Second of all, strict parents teach you to lie on command. I could lie and have a whole backstory ready as soon as I was asked a question. The backstory you need to plan and already have options and back ups for, but you have to be good at lying to get away with that part. Luckily, I was. I also had best friends who my mom trusted dearly. Those same best friends that my mom trusted would and still would, if needed, lie for me. Lying is a big part of having strict parents because you're a teenager, and you're gonna do what you want regardless of what they say. It also helped a lot that my aunt was very understanding and would cover for me too. I didn't sneak around and do illegal things. I would sneak around to go see my boyfriend that my parents didn't know I had. That I was engaged to at one given time. Little advice, the minimum amount of time that I would be with someone before it would be okay with them proposing is 1 year. I also don't take no shit. I have a promise ring from my boyfriend. I feel like 5-6 months into the relationships is okay for a promise ring. I have been with my boyfriend for 8 months. We have started fucking, but that is our business. No amount of time in a relationship before you start to fuck is acceptable to any one exceot you and only what you and your partner is comfortable with. Back to strict parents, it is a little tricky when your parents have Life360. I had multiple phones as mentioned earlier. I would go to where I said I would be and leave my phone there, and use my back up phone for texting my friends and everything. I have always had an iPhone, so I could just log into the messages and calling part on my backup. As far as parties go, it's a little tricky to sneak out to a party. Especially if you are like me and live in a small town where every one knows every one! I was always just honest with my mom about parties and she would let me go because she TRUSTED me. Trust is a big thing. Honestly. Parents sometimes don't understand, but having trust in your kids from the start about everything will go a HUGE way. It will also make you closer.
I want to touch on something else too. If you need a friend I am here. Message me or shoot me an email. My email is always posted at the end of all my entries. Another thing, is my diary is a safe space. I may just be 18, but I have TONS of advice and stories I can talk about. My mental ago is in my late 20s. I matured and grew up way too fast because of a few things life has thrown at me. I am single handedly RAISING a child. Not biologically mine, but I fully adopted her 2 years ago. That was defiantly a struggle to get legalized through court, but she is mine, and is doing better than she ever was. If there is a certain topic or subject you want me to write on message me or email me and let me know, and I will get an entry written on the topic/subject as soon as I can. I'm here to help. I can even be your "online mother" if you want to call it that. Someone you can go to no matter what who will NEVER judge.
