I'm 18 years old. I feel like my parents keep me in a 10 year old's box. I have a hard time submitting to their authority. I don't understand why they won't let me do things that seem so trivial. I don't understand why they have to protect me when I should be old enough to choose the right things.
But I am trying.
My dad has decided that he wants me to wear skirts. All the time. I understand his reasoning (he thinks it's more modest), but I'm not happy about it. I don't want to wear skirts all the time. I love my jeans.
So, even though I do not agree with my father, I love him dearly, and I want to honor his decisions. I've been wearing skirts all week. And not complaining about it, either. Maybe this will be a first step to being more submissive in general.
Maybe. =)

I know what you are saying I all ways thought that Submission was just with a husband, but I have learned that it is with anyone that has authority over you. And I don't do well with that I want to do my own thing at my own time. I pray things work out and keep a good heart about it all.
It is not always easy to honor our parents but I think you are doing a great job here.
Interesting. I was raised in a religious group that firmly believed skirts to be more modest. I have mixed feelings on that issue and many others, but I think it's great that you respect your father enough to honor his wishes.
