Now maybe I'm still a little bit of toothpick princess. 😆 My parents don't let me out after dark alone. 😆 I'm twenty for god's sake.

ohhh that's a different case... 😊 let me share you my experiences...so, that you can understand my perspective
I had one girl in my college, when I was doing Masters... she used to talk to her parents thru out her commute from her house to college & college to house... her parents used to wake up almost whole night (coz it's night in India when it's day here in US) to talk to her... the reason of her.. she had never traveled anywhere alone in India... she used to have car & driver... she is very ladlee of her family... I understand... I am ladlee too... but yar if u r so afraid going out then why u came to US alone... I don't see any point making your parents wake up whole night when you have chosen your path... 😕
another one... had one other roommate... came on student visa... second day, I got call from his dad asking... take care of my daughter ( I understand... he is worried, I pacified him...😊 said I will uncle, you don't worry😊) then he started asking, do you girls have microwave at home, freeze, TV, AC, furniture, Bed... 😕 sab chalta hai ki nahi... wht r other facilities you have... and I was like if you are so worried of her facilities, why u send her here in US on student visa... keep her with you... & give her all the facilities... and if you have sent her... let her be capable of getting all the facilities on her Own... 😊
so, these are all the scenarios I am talking about... what I understand is... giving facility to child is not the only responsibility... that doesn't say you gave your child everything... if you really want to give him/her something... make her/him live without facilities... make your child strong enough to fight with all the bad situation may come... you won't be there for Her/Him whole life... 😊
I think I wrote too mcuh... 😆😆😆
Sorry if I hurted anyone... it just that my perspective is different... 😊

@ Sachi: Oh, that's completely different stuff from what Netri was referring to as toothpick princesss. Yeah, I agree with you...that girl has no sense of shame keeping her parents up late at night? Waise, what does she need to talk about all night long every single day? (Ignore the fact that this is coming from a chatty person...I'm quieter in real life 😆). And for the second case, I can actually see my dad doing that too if he ever sent me to dorm somewhere...but the thing is, not allowed to dorm so in a way my dad himself solves that issue. 😆
But yeah, I agree that everyone has to stand on their own feet at some point. Acting so helpless is just an excuse to be lazy. 😆

That College girl.. used to be on phone coz she was afraid of Travelling alone... and her parents afraid of coz they wanted to make sure she reached college & reached back home safely... (though we 5-6 students used to travel with her) & this they continued for alomost 2 quarters... 😕
And of course you have rights to ask for the facilities...when you are in Dorm (you are paying for it)... but when you r living with roommates (that she herself decided to live with) ...we all r paying our equal share... 😊who also girls from India.. without parents & family... survived & managed on their own.. 😊 When I moved in from NJ to Philly... I found roommates on Sulekha... I was happy I found Indian Roomie, other than that... I knew I have to survive by my own... no one can provide me whatever I am habituated with on the first day... I have to get them by my own... 😊

Haha..oh wow...but I can actually understand that, having similar experiences too...though like I said, never dormed or anything like that so my situation's a bit different too...don't have to call my parents up...but I can still understand what the parents and that girl might be thinking. Still, she needs to come out of her shell too because if she doesn't then even her parents won't let go of her hand too...and they'll be tied to each others' waists for life.

Exactly, you need to be independent too because life's short, people aren't gonna hang around you anymore, so eventually you have to learn stuff. My brother recently passed away and he's the one who usually handles all the technical stuff in the house, fixing things, handling errands, etc, etc. I've become so dependent on him to always be around to fix my computer, calculator, get me stuff from far away stores because I'm such a bad driver, etc, etc...and now that he's gone, I'm trying to step up to the plate, understand all the things he used to know how to do, because he just won't be there to do it for me like he used to with a grin.

Ekta... I can say.. You are a brave girl... I am happy knowing you are trying to step up, that wud make your parents happy too as you making them feel you are there & will always be there thru this difficult time... and that's the spirit of life I think we all shud have to have... 😊

Thanks. 😊 I hope to not let my parents down either. And maybe they won't feel that large void as much if I can do some of the things he did too. Khair, I used to not think much on trying to become independent because I was so used to dependency, thinking we were all always going to be together forever...but heh, got an awakening, I guess. I hope your college friend realizes this too but not because of something like this.
