How many people would have to hear this famous line from their parents when they were younger? For those who are now married, how true has it been? Did your parents stop giving you a hard time about doing things you wanted to after getting married? Do some still have to justify their decisions even after marriage? Maybe big decisions or small ones like what you wear etc.. I know some girls can really relate to this so wondering how its changed or are moms still telling us how/what to do in the same regard.

never. my mom always tell me that the freedom you have gotten here, you might or might not get it once you are married.
and she tells me not to try do the things just your way always (like you do it here) when you go to another house.
so she and my dad doesn’t put any unnecessary restrictions on me.

i have a family living in my neighborhood, where they restrict their daughters on even minor things and tell them do this when you are married like wearing saris, applying mehndi on feet etc. and i always wonder how it would be like if they cant do this after marriage as well. then why parents develop these false hopes in the minds of their daughters i don’t understand.
