The questions I have asked my parents are the following:

1) How did you both met each other?

My mom and dad both answered, “we met each other at work and took interest in
each other.”

2) What type of friend should I have?

My dad answered, “a friend who has the same interests as you and understands
you.” while my mom answered, “someone who has good intentions and doesn’t
treat you badly.”

3) When is the best time to have a boyfriend?

My dad answered, “you’re only allowed to date someone after graduation or if
you have a job already.”

Regarding about this topic, I have learned that my parents want the best for me. They
want me to experience the same way they both had such as when they met during
question 1 and that they want me to have a relationship with someone after I graduate
like they said at question 3. My parents have met my past few friends that I’m still
friends with who treat me nicely and because of that, my parents trust them because
I’ve known them the longest.

Parents know what is best for their child because they have a unique insight into the
needs, tendencies, and desires of the child based on their instincts and experiences
with them (Capriola, 2019).
