QUOTE(xSybarite @ Dec 31 2007, 03:20 AM)  You're an adult now, you don't need your parents telling you what to do. Why don't you just move out or something? moving out is expensive. even some adults can't logically think things out alone. i'm not implying that the topic starter can't, but there are just some people who were horribly sheltered by their parents and are therefore unable to do things on their own. |

people make it seem so eazy to move out. Dont forget to take account she has no money saved up and that 1. you want to move out to a good apartment complex area.2. then she has to pay for gas, im not sure if she has a car? 3. working to pay for food and clothes and gas is really stressfull especially if she is trying to continue her education. Ask some homeless people if its easy to start from scratch and move out, the legit ones =p.

Well I'm 21 and my parents are just extremely overprotective. I'm the youngest girl out of 5 children and I have a younger brother, but I get it the worst. I look at is as them caring a great deal about me. I get told all the time.. it's a cold world, people are crazy these days, etc.. they are just looking out for me
In your situation I know its annoying and trust me I can't stand it but I'm not sure if moving out would solve the problem though. You need to communicate. Maybe they don't trust you either because of something you have done in the past or because of things that they have done at your age and they don't want you to make the same mistake. My best advice is to first try to talk to them and second to find a (positive) excuse to never be home. Like getting a good job, going to school, or doing something extra curricular. |

Stand up for your rights!
I do and I'm only 15 hehe. Moving in with your boyfriend is kind of a bad choice, I think the problems with that have already been highlighted in other peoples posts. All parents are clingy, you just have to have a chat with them about you being old enough to take care of yourself because.. your 20 DX this is when your life begins ! |
