Where Were You?
Sunday, 4 January 2026

Overly protective parenting, frequently asking questions about their children’s whereabouts and activities (Where were you? Why did you come so late last night? or simply asking, When will your wife be back from her parents?), can be restrictive or stifling. While my concerns are natural, in our case, this approach is leading to unintended negative effects.

My married son, living with us, has expressed that my 'inquiries' undermine his autonomy and independence, hindering his ability to take charge of his own life. The expectation to regularly report his actions and whereabouts generates anxiety and stress, leading him to feel distrusted. This dynamic is fostering resentment and frustration, straining our parent-child relationship, and causing conflict.

Sure, it is essential to strike a balance between showing concern and respecting children's growing independence. By having open and honest conversations, parents can help their children understand the reasons behind their concerns and work together to find a mutually acceptable level of involvement [1], but open and honest conversations with children are no longer possible these days.

Son, I wish you well in life as well as work, a bright future, a best conjugal life, and a bright future. May I see you growing, always. May you be a sahleh son, always. 

Ok, Ok. I will try not to ask you.
