The 9 Stages Of Asking Strict Parents For Permission To Do Something Sketchy

When you grow up with strict parents, invites are usually stressful and anxiety-ridden. Will my parents let me go? How will I ask them? If you have strict parents, you can probably relate to the process of asking permission for the most simple things.

1. Drafting Messages

But not too much - or they might be suspicious.

2. Sucking up to your parents before you ask for anything


You have to make sure you completed every task you were expected to do before you ask for permission.

3. Make sure to butter them up.


But not too much - or else it's suspicious.

4. Gotta make sure they are in a good mood

You have to make sure they are likely to say yes.

5. Finally, it's time to send the text...


After all, she can't kill you through the phone right?

6. The anxiety when you see the typing bubbles.

Will she say yes? Did I phrase everything correctly? Did I finish all my chores? Why is she typing so slow?

7. She might bring up some unfinished chores of yours...

Off the couch you go, quickly double checking everything in the house that you could have forgotten to do.

8. Status reports are mandatory and non-negotiable.

Don't even try and say you forgot to update them about where you were. They are nervous and need to know your location at all times.

9. But no matter what, you know they are strict because they love you.


Gotta love 'em.

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
