Hey there Jaline..
my wife had much the same problem from her parents when we started dating..she's east indian..(not sure if you are or not)anyhow, same idea...
my wife: 'i think i'll go to toronto for the evening on a date with tyson'
her parents: 'oooh...uh..toronto?..it's getting late sweetie..too dark now...maybe it's best if you just stay home'...______________
used to drive me nuts...
and like you she was around 20 at the time..
hell..i had more freedom at the age of 15 than she did at 20...thats crazy...however...her brother, he had no such problems..
he came and went as he pleased...now i know there's a cultural difference between how boys and girls are treated, especially in an east indian home...but in this case they had exactly the same rules to live by...both my wife and her brother...
the difference was, he knew it was easier to ask forgiveness than ask permission...
that, and he understood that the idea of 'asking permission' after you yourself are an adult is more than just a little insane...
thats like asking your immediate boss at work if you can go to the washroom now...
what the fuck..your an adult...
go do your thing dude...same goes for you Jaline..
you're an adult..
sure, you live under thier roof, so you're subject to some rules..but as for traveling etc?
uh...no..just go.
leave a note behind so they don't worry..:)
cheers
