Gaining independence from their parents is something that nearly every teenager wants.
They think that the second they turn 18, independence will magically be granted to them.
Well, for some, this might actually happen.
However, others arent so fortunate.
Just like the young woman from todays story.
She thought that learning to drive was the only way for her to gain freedom from her parents.
And she wanted to learn to drive.
To get this permit, future drivers have to either pass a written or a basic competency in vehicletest.
In some cases, both can apply.
After that, theyre issued said permit for a certain amount of time.
Their daughter was right in the middle of this period she had it for 3 months.
With this permit, one of her parents, the OP, used to teach her to drive.
But then, they decided that they no longer wanted to do that.
And the reasons for this were kind of controversial.
Well, the main thing that bugged her parents was herbehavior.
Lets just say that the young woman acted quite differently from what her parents wanted of her.
They even viewed it as her being indifferent to their feelings.
One of the examples of such behavior was not smiling at people who greeted her while at the church.
Well, technically, there isnt a set of rules on how to act in church.
It all comes down to beingrespectful.
For example, not making too much noise, paying attention, not arriving late, and so on.
Communicating politely with other church attendees can be understood as a rule of respectfulness, too.
Some people tend to buildcommunitieswith their church peers.
Treating your community members nicely is essential to good relationship building.
Maybe she doesnt want to go to church?
This kind of coercion could even scare her away from religion in the long run.
The lack of a smile in church wasnt the only thing that frustrated the parents.
The daughter also said that shell be working onChristmasEve instead of spending it with them.
Besides, she always came off a bit prideful when her parents addressed her.
And so, they thought that restricting her driving lessons would teach her to be more humble.
Still, this daughter would prefer this discipline method over the one she got.
Apparently, learning to drive was her way to freedom, and she didnt want to give it up.
Theparentsprioritizing their principles about discipline instead of their daughters wishes probably just added to her feeling this way.
Thats what people online seemed to think, too.
This annoyed some of the netizens so much that they dubbed the OP a hypocrite and afailureof a parent.
