Parents must teach their children how to correctly obey house rules for them to develop the habit of following societal rules. They utilize punishment, such as grounding them, if their kids violate the rules, but parents should understand that these regulations are for children and that they cannot control them once they reach adulthood; otherwise, they will leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OP was the oldest daughter with two young siblings, living with her mother at the age of 18. She loved her siblings and always tried to fulfill her responsibility towards them. OP’s mother wanted to go to the Renaissance festival with all her kids and bought the tickets. OP told her that she could not join them for not getting off from work, but her mother thought that she was making excuses to not go with them. OP’s mother got annoyed at her refusal and made her grounded for wasting the money on the ticket. She refused to let her go outside to fill the gas and took all her valuables, like keys, phone, and ID card, to stop her. OP had an argument about her mother’s controlling attitude toward her at that age, so she left the house empty-handed and stayed at her friend’s place for the night.
