Complaints and Disagreements

So today I am going to tell you about an important milestone in my life which was the first argument I had with my parents. Firstly let me explain why I took this experience so seriously. I’m usually a real mama’s boy who always obeys my parents, especially my mom who is definitely the stricter of the two. She is so bossy and direct that it usually has to be her way or the highway. And also, my mother is awfully protective of me and
never allows me to have or join in any sleepover whatsoever. And that leads to the main part of my story, which happened three weeks ago.

It was my best friend’s birthday party and he invited me to sleep over at his house. I was so thrilled. I mean this was going to be my first sleepover. My excitement did not last long though as my mum immediately said no when I brought it up. Filled with anger, I found myself raising my voice at my mother for the first time in my life and said “Mom, I am a 21-year-old man. I can take care of myself”. She was so surprised at my response and scolded me even harder. But I stood my ground. I believed it was about time I expressed my feelings and let her know how I felt. I felt that I was old enough to be responsible for myself and my mom needed to stop protecting me. Finally, she understood and let me go.

But I will never forget that day when I would go against my mother’s decision and also the fact that I got super wasted that night and was grounded for the next two months.
