It's funny how when i was my brother's age...i couldn't get away with doing half the things hes doing now! And I use to tell my parents that you guys have double standards and its so unfair...blah blah blah!! Now i relize cause i'm more older and mature ;) that they really did have my best interest at heart. If you see a guy at the movies late at night...."ppl" won't draw assumptions as quickly as if they saw a girl going to the movies late at night. And yea its not that they didn't trust me...its the ppl around me they didn't trust! And yea if i have kids...i think i will be just as worried about them as my parents were for me...and i know we all say..."oh when i have kids I won't treat them like my parents use to treat me they were so unfair etc etc"...but you know what people....this day and age...the world is just becoming a scarier place...and its harder to raise children in this society!! So yea that's just my personal opinion...at the end of the day...make sure you know where and what your children are up too...you brought them into this world...their your responsibilty!!
I would probably tightly control my girls too, but the point here is, why not do the same to boys?
We are always afraid of the boys OUT THERE who will hurt our daughters. Did we ever stop and think that the boys OUT THERE who are trouble makers are non other than our own boys?
