They are strict, but always could be worse. There are some tensions between us, anyway. Sometimes I think they are people, who think everything around them is "The Sims" game. But I am a virus in this game that do not let them to live my life.
do they still set boundaries and have expectations for your life?
Yes. They expect me to be a guy they want me to become. But everyone is individual and knows better what is good for us - our parents are not the people who will determine our life.
alcohol
Yes, but it changed slightly. Firstly, they were against it. I was supposed to be a son, who will follow their bs. I decided to be myself. Now they do not have much problems with me drinking a beer or two, but they still are brave warriors in "Crusade_Against_Me_Drunk". I still receive phone calls "Where are you? When you'll come back? Just try to be drunk!". So in case of alcohol they try to change something, but I still will do what I want.
On the other hand, they gave up totally in case of cigarettes. I don't know what would they do about weed, but I avoid it myself.
relationships
I have not problems with that. They do nothing about it, they simply want me to be in relationship, while I do not. It's the only difference between our views.
politics
Totally no problems. We do not talk often about it. It may be also depending on the country, as we are Polish it is normal for every single Pole to be against current government. Situation changes during elections, but even then we do not argue and they do not try to force me in voting.
religion
I was raised in Roman Catholic family. They are quite "crazy" in point of view of religion. Even though I said once or twice, that I do not believe, they try to convince me to go the church. Sometimes I go, but in some holy days only. Religion and alcohol are the biggest problems here. I don't know if they even take seriously my views.
sexuality
I never talked about it with them, and I doubt if they want to know anything in that matter. Tabboo here.
Simply, I live my own life. I don't care about their wishes and their plans. But there are some problems and they are strict in general, but they know they will achieve nothing.
