I Have Strict Parents

even after i moved away and living on my own place "with a roommate" Dad still feels like dropping by and checking on me every now and then.

yesterday i was ironing my clothes when he knocked on my door, i swear i wanted to ignore him but i will never hear the end of it if i did.
he walks in he makes comments on everything he doesn't like which is everything and sees the clothes on the table and the first thing he said "What is this? that's how iron your clothes? YOU ALWAYS PUT THE TOP SIDE ON YOUR LEFT AND BOTTOM ON YOUR RIGHT!, i taught you this a hundred times ever since you were a kid how can you forget?? "
i don't know why he is being such a nazi with everything , you iron to get rid of wrinkles it doesn't matter how you do it.

He should start paying your rent with that behavior. He hasn’t let you move out.

@Pfuzylogic he didn't let me, i had to sneak my bags and stuff every morning after he goes to work.
after i moved everything and after i settled there i called to tell him i moved out.

You need to write down personal boundaries of yours and share them.
See if he respects what you state.
If he doesn’t acknowledge you in making your own choices then you might need to make it legal.
He isn’t entitled to run your life.

@Pfuzylogic he lives to control everything not just my life he even tells people on the street whatever they doing its wrong but he usually says it in a nice way so people wouldn't know his true obsessive control freak self.

Wow what a nightmare to fend off.
Sounds like the easiest way to deal with that is a redirection of his attention.
Point out something that needs his immediate attention! 😏
