Overbearing Parents

1. Learn to knock
2. If you raise your kids in a western society, please don't act surprised if they happen to adapt the culture.
3. Stop being paranoid.
4. God isn't airing your child's dirty laundry. Stop snooping.
5. Your daughters are not prostitutes just because she stays out past 11. There are other reasons to be out at night.
6. There are other careers out there aside from doctor/engineer.
7. Studying art doesn't mean your kids are going to spend the rest of their lives as a starving painter/musician/actor/etc.
8. If you're going to compare your child to someone else's, please make sure you know enough about the other person to not make yourself sound like an ignorant, gullible idiot.
9. The neighbours have better things to do with their lives than to meddle in your affairs. Again, stop being paranoid
10. If you stifle your child's social life, don't be surprised if they try to make up for it in spades when they have freedom or when they have social anxiety issues.

STOP being so insufferable. PLEASE, find a hobby aside from making your children miserable. All you're ensuring is long hours of psychological therapy in the years to come.
