Would you see this as too overprotective? Almost harmfully overprotective?
I'm 15 fyi
1. My father does not let me stay home alone. He sends his half blind half deaf mother over to babysit me, or he must take me along on every errand, no matter how small.
2. I am not allowed to sit in a movie on my own. Even if my mother and brother are in the same theatre but just different movies.
3. I'm not allowed to get the mail by myself.
4. I'm not allowed to do the laundry by myself (the laundry room is in the back yard) (we don't live in a bad neighborhood either)
This one doesn't have to deal with over-protectiveness but it just annoys me......he forces me to go to church every Sunday and won't let me become a Buddhist even though I've told him I don't believe in God and would rather practice Buddhism.
Do you think this is detrimental to a teenager's development?
