People often say that being in a relationship only involves 2 parties. But in reality, it invovles 2 families especially if you’re about to tie the knot. That being said, relationships could be hard to navigate as you would receive ‘feedback’ from other people on how to sustain your relationship.
Just recently, a Malaysian shared her experience with her boyfriend’s mother on a Facebook page. In her post she said,
“My boyfriend and I are 22 this year and we’ve been together for a year. He only has 1 sibling; an older sister and I realised that the parents are overprotective over them.”
She then mentioned that she has seen her boyfriend’s parents nagging at the sister every time she heads out. She mentioned that the sister would always ask for permission and doesn’t understand what else is there to nag.
“I recall when my boyfriend and I went out drinking with our friends and got back around 3 or 4am. His mother started scolding him and scolded me as well”, she added.
She explained that she was confused and shocked that her boyfriend’s mother would nag at her as the both of them did not answer her phone calls.
“My phone has always been on silent mode and my boyfriend missed her call as he didn’t hear his phone ring as well. When we got back to his place, his mum was scolding him for not answering his phone and said that I was disrespectful and rude”, she said.
She expressed that she doesn’t know how long this will last and is still shocked at how overprotective her boyfriend’s parents are. She then ended the post mentioning that even when her boyfriend’s sister who is 25 comes home late, she would also be subjected to the parents’ nagging.
Every parent has their own way of parenting and it’s best for us to respect their parenting choices. What would you do if you were in her shoes? Let us know in the comments below!
