Have you ever feel that there are times when the problem doesn't goes away no matter how you try to solve it? I have this experience especially with my dad. To solve this problem, I have to literally give in because I didn't want to start a quarrel. I know that my parents love me, but I feel that my dad, especially is treating me like a small girl even though I'm turning 26 this year. I know that parents are protective of their children, but I feel that at times the protectiveness can be suffocating. I know that my dad has become better when compared to the past. However, I still feel like a bird in a cage. I feel that my dad has not fully trusted me in certain ways because he still treats me like a small kid at times. Haiz......sometimes I feel that my parents don't understand me in certain ways. It would be difficult at times to make them understand certain things because they just cannot seems to see our viewpoint. I had tried many times to make them see things from my viewpoint, especially my dad, but it always end up in a quarrel which I'm sick of. Sometimes I wonder when would they see things in our viewpoint? Will things improve to where I wanted it to be when I turned 30?

This is also the reason why I don't want to get a boyfriend. If I have boyfriend/husband like my dad who is over-protective, I think I will choose to stay single forever.
