When did you start standing up to your parents? [I Love to Hear Thoughts And Opinions of Others]

I am 31 and still live my parents. They are very religious and strict. I will be moving out within the next few months.

As a guy I have natural curly hair.

My parents hate it, they want me to get something like this

That is not my style at all. I am planning to get something like this.

If I do they will complain like crazy. Plus my mom will start crying, praying and preaching. I am not trying to hear their mouth. I have respected them all my life. It's time for me to stand my ground. I am sick and tired of living such a safe and obedient life.

I'm in the same boat as you. My mum detested my going for a walk in a park because it's "too dangerous out there" and she told me to "not go too deep in there" and to "stay near the main entrance" and to "sit in one place with my head down".

@assemblingaknob I feel you, I understand the world is a dangerous place. But we can't just live a scared and sheltered life. They fail to understand that we can take care of ourselves.
