    I don't like to assume someone is a good person, but I would say that my dad is probably trying to help.

      I think it's awesome that he wants you to learn to think for yourself instead of just expecting you to conform to his ideas!

        Well I do appreciate it but at the same time I am a little concerned that people are so shocked by it. That makes me think that most dads are probably too controlling.

          Yeah, the majority of parents aren't necessarily too controlling, but rather many people expect their children follow in their footsteps. Some people even want their kids to go to the same Universities as them, join (or at least pledge) the same Greek organizations, go into the same lines of work, hold the same political, moral, ethical and religious beliefs. I certainly think it's not only too controlling, but downright stifling.

            Well my dad has a lot of opinions about how I should live my life, but I don't think I would consider that "controlling", since he doesn't punish me for not doing exactly what he wants all the time.
