  • My parents have always been strict and they still are strict.

  • My parents got divorced when I was in my teens and they were too busy dealing with their own stuff that I basically did whatever I wanted to do.

    • You lucky fucker. Lol

    • @Jamie05rhs Well, I guess I did get away with a lot but I probably could have used more guidance and support during those years.

    • @ExitSeven I understand.

  • They were pretty strict in my early teens but I got a job at 16 and they backed off

    I started smoking and drinking as well as dating and they could stop me as it was my own money and part of the social aspects of the job as well as college

  • Parents weren't home a lot, and when I was 14 our first time was easy in my bedroom as we went home together after school. My mom and I were comfortable talking about sex and protection so they were permissive.

  • By the time I was 12 my parents were divorce. So, by the time I was a teen me and my sister were being raised by our dad. he was gone before we got up for school and he come home from work around 5 or 5:30. So we pretty much ran the house.
