I am twenty years old, and my mother still tries to tell me what to do. Especially when I come home to visit. Because I am the oldest, and as soon as I walk through the house door, she forgets she has other children and is constantly telling me what to do (like get me a cup of coffee, hand me the remote, etc..). This is very annoying because I am so use of doing things on my term, and not someone else's. Even when I told her I was changing my major from pre-med to elementary education, she still thought that I would be happier if I was a doctor as opposed to a teacher. But I know I wouldn't be. But I know my mother has my best interest at heart, and she still will love me no matter what I chose or do in my life. I think no matter how old you get, everyone still needs to honour and respect their parents. Of course, you'll have disagreements but that doesn't mean you love your parents any less nor they love you any less.
