In a typical African home, decision making is for our parents. They decide what we eat, wear, who we move with and even our course of study in school. Rules are for everyone in the house, it doesn't matter if you've become a young adult because all they are used to seeing is the child they raised not the young adult you've become. The only time they realize you're older is when they want a particular chore done by an adult. At this point, it doesn't even matter if you can do it or not, the point is you are the oldest hence should be able to do it. hehehe
