About This Quiz

When you leave the nest, your relationship with your parents becomes unfamiliar and strange. They no longer have any control over your decisions, and you can no longer rely on them to decide for you! Between getting an education, choosing a career, and developing new relationships, your decisions are all yours! 

But do your parents approve of the life you are choosing? Whether or not they are nagging you constantly, your parents are proud of the adult you are becoming! They know how hard it is to make decisions and grow up, and everything that you do now is solely up to you. However, that doesn't mean they don't think there is room for improvement! They will always want what is best for you, whether or not you agree with their opinions.

From career options to raising a family, your parents definitely have their opinions about what your life should look like. They'll be over-the-moon if you do exactly what they want you to, but everyone knows that never happens in real life. Whatever they really think of you, it is all from a place of love. 

You never know what your parents think of you! This quiz can help you see what your parents are saying behind your back!
