And they act like the outside World doesn't exist and shouldn't have an effect on you. When you tell them about something in the real World that's effected you in some monumental or superficial way they seem startled and don't know how to react. It's odd.

I'm a parent of 3. My kids are 17, 19, & 21. I don't think I will ever stop giving them my two cents on what they should and should not do. I think it's just natural for a caring parent to do this. However, I do make a point of shutting my mouth and listening to what they have to say also. I know worldly influences are huge. I just try to do the best I can for my kids and always be there for them. I also know that sometimes we have to agree to disagree. I wish you the best with your parents!
