Fortunately, my parents were very strict with me when I was a child. I think that they were protective because I was an only child. However, at that time, it felt like I was in prison.

While my friends were playing video games or watching cartoons, I was usually doing chores

Ah, the woes of having strict parents! It sounds like you had a pretty structured childhood, with a whole lot of homework and chores, and not a lot of video games or cartoons.

But here's the thing: your parents were probably just trying to prepare you for the real world. I mean, let's face it, life isn't all fun and games (no pun intended). There are responsibilities to be had, and tasks to be completed. And it's great that your parents instilled those values in you from a young age.

Sure, it might have felt like prison at the time, but trust me, you're probably better off for it. You might not have had the most exciting childhood, but you're likely more disciplined and responsible because of it. And who knows, you might even be grateful for it now!
