Why do my parents force me to take a coat everywhere i go?

Because they care.

Because parents are over protective of us girls

I don’t want to hear another word about this young lady. And make sure you have clean underwear in case you get in an accident. ~_~

You can’t really tell them anything because they won’t listen, but if you do…

@GraceC when you have kids, you’ll understand.

It’s because they care.
When you’re out on your own you’ll miss it. Believe me.

It’s because they might get cold, so of course, you might get cold. It’s called love.

Power and control.

For some reason they think you are a delicate flower that will wither and die if ever touched by frost. Thus, they overprotect you. However, proving to them that you aren’t fragile by talking like a sailor won’t help. They will still insist you dress warmly.

It is also possible that in their old age their sensitivity to cold has increased so much that they figure everyone will freeze if they don’t wear all those layers.

In any case, they do it because they care.

Two t-shirts?

One of the best ways to get around this is to say that if you get cold or wet because you didn’t have a coat, it’s your fault and you won’t start moaning you’re cold. If you did get cold, next time you might take the coat, just in case. You can always take it off.
