Being a parent is all about teaching boundaries.

I hated my parents for forbidding me to do things I wanted; from having a phone to not going to party when I was too young.

I ended up having a phone and partying later on and I eventually came to hate both after a few years.

Now that I grew up, I'm glad they stopped me from entering that world too early, I'm glad I tried and I'm glad I'm done with it.

And you’re getting downvoted. A very sad state of affairs that this post is what gets downvoted nowadays.

Edit: perhaps ppl downvoting should ask their local psychologist about boundaries and why they’re important

Yes because parents “setting boundaries” have stop kids from doing drugs, alcohol, having pre-marital sex, etc.
