I was thinking about the question I asked yesterday, about why parents are so control freakish about their children's lives. I think it has to do with the feeling of responsibility. See you used to be this tiny little thing that couldn't do anything for its self, and they had to do everything. They had to feed you, and dress you, and house you. You couldn't do anything for your self, but slowly you got older, and you started being able to do things for yourself. In their heads you still can't do anything, and they continue to find the need to control what you do, because before you couldn't do it. What makes them think you can now?
I still think that this does not absolve parents of being dick heads. Once someone is able to drive a car that can fracking kill someone, they should be able to make their own desisions.
