I feel like parents of adults should let them be adults

I feel like as an adult you should be able to make your own decisions. My mom got mad, wanted to argue and then tried to threaten me because she wanted me to do what she wanted about something that had nothing to do with her. I try to be as respectful as possible when it comes to my parents but she takes it too far. She wants to be controlling when she’s nice and when you don’t listen, she wants to catch an attitude and treat you like someone in the streets. I hate that toxic shit and she does it all the time. When I get mad and wanna give her the same energy, I’m wrong because she’s my mother 🙄. Parents aren’t supposed to treat their children like that either.

I guess it depends on the situation. I still live at home and don't pay rent, so I don't get all the rights of an adult in my house, because I still have the luxury of living as a child in the house. That means free meals, clothes, electricity, etc. And a stipulation of that is doing what my parents tell me. But if I was moved out and fully independent, my parents would have significantly less power over me. They could give suggestions and even get stern, but at the end of the day, would have no power to enforce it since i have my own life, money, job and place.

some parents dont know how to be good parents. i have been trying to like the way my mom is more but its tough because i do not understand her.

I realized I was repeating some of the things she was doing within my relationship and switched it up immediately. I would never want anyone to feel the way she made me feel. I understand exactly what you mean, I don’t understand her anymore either. One minute she seems like a good mom and the next, she’s a terrible person. I feel like she has some underlying resentment but won’t admit it@Girlyfriendcollecting
@Fantasyproject yea its definitely some sort of problem she always had that she needs to treat with a psychologist.

I learned long ago that your parents don't need to know everything, especially if the parents are the kind who want to dictate everything you do
Fantasyproject · 26-30, F
I already don’t tell her everything but it concerned my mental health so I was advised to. Now I wish I didn’t @Bubbles

My mom is the same way I'm just hoping I can get out so I won't find someone who is like her with my own future partner or worse me becoming like her
Fantasyproject · 26-30, F
I’m wishing you get out and live your life the way you see fit and don’t become like her. At least you see and know what you don’t want in your future @Nutshell29

Old habits die hard...

Eventually it flips and you end up telling your parents off for things they used to tell you off for 😂

My sister told me to just snap already so she can stop 😂😂but I’m trying to be mature about the situation @Quizzical

@Fantasyproject It's all a part of the power shift. Patents can sense it and don't like it, lol
Fantasyproject · 26-30, F
Lol she needs to get over that with me@Quizzical
I agree that this is disrespectful of your own personhood.

I feel like I should do what makes me feel comfortable not what someone else wants @SomeMichGuy
