A little more info on this would be helpful.
Children that are not yet adult (as in under 18) need to be taught by their parents the difference between right and wrong. Teens see this as parents running their lives. Parents see it as protecting their children from situations that the kid has no clue about yet.
A child that is an adult is a different story though. Parents have to back off as the child becomes an adult, and let the adult child make his/her own decisions, whether the parent agrees with it or not. Sometimes a parent has to sit back, and watch their adult child deal with drug addictions and other destructive behaviors. All they can do is be there and support their child when the bottom falls out, while still allowing their child to face the consequences of his/her actions.
So I guess my question to you would be....how old are you?

I have 4 kids, I also hav rules that they have to follow. It's not that I am running their life it is the fact that I am their parent and I am responsible for them..they are called kids for a reason..they do not always use good judgment when it comes to certain things...except their rules and ways now. Soon enough you will be grown and will be able to see how hard it is out there in the real world.....someday you may have your own kids and then you'll get a first hand taste of what it is all about.

I don't know how old you are, but that would explain a lot. If your under the age of 18 than I can totally understand why. They feel like they have to do everything possible to teach you right from wrong. Keep you away from the wrong crowd. Give you the best education. They want to give the best start in life that they possibly can. They want to instill good values, and morals in you. They don't want you to make the same mistakes as they did. It's because they love you and care for you more than anything in the world. It maybe hard to see that now, but you will. You'll also know exactly how they feel if you have children of your own.
Now if your a full blown adult. That is over the age of 21. They have a hard time letting go. Usually most parents always see their children as their babies. They just want to help. It's okay to let them know that you can handle it. They don't have to worry. It's okay to let them know that you have to learn from your own mistakes. But always let them know that you value their opinion, and love them very much.

Because children are not effective at running their own life. Oh, and just so you know, your parents stay up late at night deciding on what more they can do to make you miserable. (it's true, my momma told me)
Now, if you are over 18 AND live on your own. Then you have other issues. At that point the only reason they try to run your life is because you let and give them the opportunity to do so. Put your foot down and set some boundaries.

Parents only try to run their kids lives when the kids themselves keep screwing things up. My parents do this to me, but when I see things from their point of view, I've realized that it's because they were right and I was wrong. And parents only want what is best for you. If you don't like it, move away from them. That's what I had to do.

As a parent I know I don't try to run my children's lives but I do try and aim them in a direction that is positive as well as trying to have them learn from mistakes that we already made as kids.
Parents, for the most part, just want their kids to be happy and safe. We worry and want what is best for them.
As a teen we thought we knew it all and therefore made some pretty silly mistakes that hurt us. (either emotionally or physically) With age, for some, comes wisdom and we can learn a lot from those that have been there and done that before us.

Hun I know what you mean I am 15 years old and I don't like when my parents run my life, but you want to know something. I wanted to go to a party. They told me no and that I might get hurt. I'm a typical teenager, and I climbed out my window, and I went to the party whether they liked it or not. And I got drunk, and as I was walking home, this guy came up to me he was young about in his twenties, and I thought that he was really cute, but I didn't want anything to do with him.....He grabbed me by the wrist and he had his way with me. and to this day I regret even disobeying my parents. So what ever you do please listen to them and have them "control" your life if that's the Way you want to put it. You have to live with them until you're 18 that's it....so please what ever you do make something of yourself and listen to your parents they know what they're talking about, they've been there done that....

As much as I hate to admit it I can now see as a parent we only want the best for our children and although letting them learn from their own mistakes is the best way it's hard to let them do because as much as it seems were being mean we do it because we love our children and cant bear the thought of them being hurt physically or emotionally and if some one told me that when i was a teenager I would have said bugger off . My mum always said I would understand when I had my own children don't tell her I said so but she was completely right.

Hmm I dunno. Maybe when you have your own kids you can let them change their own diapers, feed themselves, come up with their own money for clothes, sports, school, school pictures, food, etc etc etc, and then let them run out in the middle of the night doing god know's what and get pregnant at age 13 so they can go and do the same thing to their own kids. Children do not make the smartest decisions in life and parents are here to keep you from doing something to RUIN your life forever.

Well is you're talking about kids as in minors usually because kids do stupid things and don't have enough life experience to make the right decisions all the time. It's a pretty simple process that any sensible human would figure out.
