Renita If you let your parents put on a chastity belt, you can't talk about setting boundaries anymore.

It is only on you to what you agree. In the end you can set boundaries for every topic if you want it. The open question is if your really want it?

    Tasha You don't have to give up control over everything in life to your parents

    That's why I'm asking how about you and relationships in your family.

        well, but parental control on a mobile phone/laptop is something completely different. an adult can buy their own mobile phone at any time and do whatever they want with it, their parents don't even have to know about it. @Tasha has her own business and can certainly always buy another mobile phone financially if her parents come up with such ideas, but go to the locksmith and ask for a spare key for your chastity belt ...

            Renita what are you asking me ? I don't see ant questions in your messages. Or have I missed them by any chance?

                Angelina if the parents are evil, there is always the nuclear option of bringing the authorities in. I don't think my parents would ever do anything of that sort. As I mentioned before, they are really good parents, except for the belt.

                  Tasha what are you asking me ?

                  How far can your parents go if they take off the belt in the car right before arrival?

                  It's not about money. She must agree anyway. And it doesn't prevent running the business.

                  But she doesn't do it. Then what's a difference?

                          Renita She must agree anyway.

                          I agree to it because I chose to.

                            With regards to the belt, they are very 'strict'. But not with other parts of life

                                Laura Okay so i logged on from the desktop, much better than the phone UI. Maybe I should start using the desktop for this task too

                                    Yes, I know. Although flarum supports smartphones, I don't like it

                                    Are you free to do whatever you want as long as you have the belt on?
                                    For example, go for a sleepover

                                          Laura go for a sleepover

                                          Going to a sleepover isn't common here, but I have went to my friends house to spend the night (I might be using the phrase "spend the night" wrongly, I only mean SFW intentions). It wasn't that big of a challenge.

                                          I am not a party person so I haven't went for any late-night parties. I have travelled alone from different venues (when I was writing exams) at night, stayed at a hotel with friends too (although this was not really planned - we didn't have a means to get back home due to a protest happening)

                                              @Xander currently I want to focus on the business itself, not looking for a partner at the moment

                                              (Didn't want to clutter the introductions channel)

                                                Laura they haven't scolded me when I didn't. I always do tell them, just in case something happens to me, they know where I am. They don't seem to care much, I've went to hang out with both boys and girls, went to houses of boys for the day, they haven't said anything. They know very well I'm "protected". Never been allowed without the belt obviously

                                                  They are strict about the "no going outside without the belt" policy. Where I go with the belt on they don't seem to care a lot. They do make me come back before it's night time - unless it was discussed before. I did get in trouble for that when I forgot to mention i would be staying at the school hostels for the night for finishing up decorations. They weren't too pleased with me the next day 😂

                                                  Tasha currently I want to focus on the business itself,

                                                  Why does it take all your time?

                                                      Laura mainly because I love what i do am a workaholic (i do love it a bit too much). I'm not saying getting a relationship will make my business go down, but it would certainly mean I have less time. Also, I'm not attracted specifically to anyone at the moment so 🤷‍♀️ And I also feel 20 is a bit too young for being in a relationship (my opinion)

                                                      I'm open to finding a partner, but I'm not actively looking for

                                                      Edit: clarity

                                                          Tasha I'm not saying getting a relationship will make my business go down, but it would certainly mean I have less time

                                                          Then it's called self-employment, rather than business

                                                              Laura we normally use self employment when you work alone, business if you have employee, even part time. It's @Tasha case, so business seems correct
