Not until you’re grown up and moved out of the house. As long as you live “under their roof” you will do what they say. Do I sound a bit like my dad? LOL!
One of the most difficult transitions for parents is realizing that as they grow up kids stop participating in annual family activities. It will not be long before many branches of their family show up to the get together without their offspring until the kids become adults themselves and old enough to once again be interested.
