Assalamualaikum and hello to everybody.
Okay now I'm pissed.
Aku tak heran lah kalau orang nak kata aku manja but please jangan libat kan parents aku. It's not like they were to be blamed to pamper me.Asal aku kata aku nak minta izin parents aku, sumer kata aku anak manja. It's not like I's depending on them for everything, and I ONLY asked them for permission when it only concerns with money. I can make my own decision too, OKAY!
Come to think of it, why would I be mad about this to those who accused me of something this silly. Some of you might think I was just saying this to protect myself by denying and give reasons. Well FYI, I'm not. I'm just stating the truth. And this truth are not only for me but for those who have been in the same situation as I am.
When you see a person walking by with their parents and always calls them, it's not that they are spoilt. We don't know their background so don't judge... It's wrong for us to judge them. Like when you said, " DOn't judge me, you don't know me". Well, you don't like people to judge you then why do you judge people? It's the same for them to feel what you feel. We ARE HUMANS TOO!!!
Try to think for a while. You only get your chance to be with parents from birth till you graduate from highschool. That if you didn't go to any boarding school. Imagine you have a child, you send your child for boarding school. DIdn't you miss your child? If you don't...I don't know what else to say. Okay, then your child comes home for the holiday. You want to spend time with your child but your child doesn't want to. Don't you feel heartbroken? Your child is in the age of feeling embarrassed when they're with their parents. They think that by being with their parents they shows to the world that they are not dependaple. They can't stand alone and can't make their own decision. YOU yourself might have this similar feelings when you're younger don't you? I don't want my child to act this way towards me so I try my best to avoid acting this way towards my parents. Haven't you heard about Karma? Even in Islam, what we do, we will get it back. If not in the world , then the Akhirat is there for you. PLus, to those muslims (I'm not sure about other religions but I think what I'm about to say probably have something to do with yor religions too), you know well that if you hurt your parents feelings it gives you Dosa right? Kau pun leh dikira sebagai anak derhaka tau. DOn't play play dengan hukum ALLAH ye. Skali kamu luka kan hati parents, derhaka lah kamu selagi kamu tidak meminta maaf kepada mereka. Sesungguh ibu bapa kita lembut hati terhadap anak mereka walau macam mana pown nakal anak mereka [ this depedns on situations and family backgrounds too, every family have different stories and comes with different lifestyle ].
So the conclusion is, not to judge someone by saying they're spoilt just because they asked their parents for permission or they always stick with their parents. You don't know what life they're having. Maybe they stay far and they only come home once per year. So they want to be with their parents whenever they have the chance. YOur parents does not live forever, okay? They die too. So cherish them while you still can. Push away your ego for their sake. Don't hurt them. They didn't raise you for you to abandon them, they didn't ask for your money, they didn't ask for anything. They just willing to take what you give. Even though it was just a piece of candy. They love you for who you are and why CAN't we LOVE them back as they LOVE us?? WHY??!
Ask yourself that and think for your own answer.
Here's another story for girls precisely, before we marry, we live with our parents right? But after we married, we have to leave their side and stay with your husband, right? Here's a thought...when you were not married, you didn't spend your time with your parents, but after you're married, you have to spend most of your time with your husband and children (if you have some) and you're gonna miss your parents, don't you? What if, your husband take you to live in a far away land from your parents ( overseas maybe? ). You got less and less time to spend with your parents. They'll miss you for sure, but they can't do anything about that. It's not your huband's fault that you didn't get to spend time with your parents anymore. iT's yours. I don't want to have any regrets after marriage. So I spend as much time with my parents even though I'm mad at them, I just endure it for awhile. 1 reason probably because I'm staying in a hostel and lives far away from my parents. But when I got back for holidays, I listened to them and make our bonds tighter. I love them. So it's no reason for me to be ashamed of it. They're my parents. NO ONE CAN REPLACE THEM. NOT EVEN MY HUSBAND. They're the jewel of my life. :)

Thank you for reading such a long text. And the one I wrote in malay it's because I'm mad and can't think of any English at that time. I'm glad I get the chance to express my feelings here.
With love...
