Angelica, you were fortunate to have parents that were not as strict on you as mines were. I was the first born and they were very protective and had a lot of restrictions on me. Every now and then my parents try to put rules on me, but I have to remind them that I have my own place, pay my own bills, do for myself, and I am grown. Overall I turned out to be a decent person with great morals.
