I am currently living at home at the age 21. I am staying home while I finish college. I don't have a problem with my parents being strict, they keep me safe and I live under their roof so it should be their rules. However my friends complain about how my parents treat me like a "child" How do I tell them that I don't mind my living conditions. I just feel they don't understand I could have parents that don't care about my well being. My other question is how do I know when it goes from caring to controlling when do I say enough?

When you move out. As you say, their house, their rules. The only real question is why you haven't moved out. Sure, it's cheaper at home - but is it really worth it, if you feel so trapped and humiliated? It's difficult to advise on your relationship with your parents, as you don't give any detail. But psychologists might suggest that you have more control than you think: The trick is to BE mature and adult. I'm not suggesting that you necessarily aren't already, but the trick is to understand THEIR notion of adult; don't respond or rise to 'babying' behaviour or words, avoid the appearance of dependency, and show confidence in how you live your life. But conditioning takes time: much better to accelerate the process by moving out and proving you can manage your life. |
