Is it normal her parents suffocate her?

Going to make an attempt to keep this short since I tend to ramble, sorry in advance!

Basically, this girl I know, let's call her Anne, she's a bit homely. She has a kind heart, a nice soul, she's a bit off her rocker but she doesn't mean any harm. Only thing that's ever bothered me is that because she doesn't have too many friends, in the past she'd tried pressuring me into hanging out with her when I said I was tired, but all I had to do was tell her that bothered me and she stopped - so she's understanding, y'know?

Anyways, she's 8 years older than me and she's never had a boyfriend - she wants one because she's told me she's been on numerous dating websites and I support her, all the while telling her to be safe and smart and letting her know if she gets into trouble, I'll help.

Well, apparently her father got like, reaaaaaaaaally upset at the thought, saying she doesn't need a boyfriend. I offered to take her out for a makeover (this girl has a meaaaaan unibrow, just fyi) and her mother said to me, "makeup is fine, but don't let them touch the eyebrows!"

....

I was like, what?

Bitch, the ONLY thing they should be touching is her brows. 'Cause, she's got a nice face, but those brows! My god.

It's none of my business! I know. But I just hate seeing someone almost waste their life away bc it seems like her parents don't want to let her go...and they're old. Like, REALLY old! What is she going to do whenthey die,,,, she still lives with them. Granted, I live at home too, but if something were to happen to my parents God forbid, I'd know what to do.

Idk. Y'all ever see the movie Clueless? One of my favourite movies. Part of me says I shouldn't meddle, as it's family issue and not my problem, but another part of me wants to help her. Because she's sweet as pie, you know?

Idk. is it wrong of me, am I just being superficial? I only want to help, and even SHE has expressed her desire for that. But her parents...yeeeeesh.

    If she's 29 and still lives with her very old parents, she needs to help herself first. It doesn't sound to me like a person who does anything with help.

    If your question was are you being superficial, I don't see anything wrong with a spa day with your friends.

    If you are asking if her parents are being strict that is normal. I always got an lecture before I ever went on a date. If she is above 18 her parents are being a bit over the top if not there's not much you can do until she is 18 and moves out.

        That changes everything. Tell her to put her big girl panties on and tell her parents to back off. It's her life not theirs. She isn't a child anymore.
