If you are an older teen or an adult no as long as you still treat them with respect. I even sometimes under certain circumstances may let my oldest make his own decision in something most recently was if he was ready to attend church camp this year. This is his first year going if he said no I wouldn't made him

You can take their advice as advice. It's not "You [b][u][b]YOU WILL [/b][/u][/b] but more of "I'd do it this way"

Not wishing to sound cruel, I could not help but think that I'd need to know or observe the "balance" of your parents. They, without question, are the people who should ground you with the basic tools of life before releasing you in to a challenging world
@Freeranger you do not sound cruel at all. I understand they are my parents. It’s just that I feel like they shouldn’t be involved in certain things, such as how I handle my finances, the type of therapists to speak to for my mental health, etc

@MyLegGuy2020 Hey man, thanks. I think, as an adult, the rough part about starting out is having to figure out the pressures of life. Some of us have a certain acumen for it and the rest of (raises hand) learn the hard way.
Regardless buddy, your parents are, at this stage of life a check valve for you mah man. Between what you desire, and the things you need, you need to make your own decisions, but when confusion sets in, we are all blessed when we know we have that fall back line of our parents.
As long as you understand the distinction of that line, primo bud.
They cannot live your life for you....you need to take that lead but, ANY parent(s) if they are loving, giving, balanced, people will gladly sit down with you and help you draw up a map as to how you reach your objective.
My best to you bud

At 27, unless you're a vulnerable adult you no longer have to 'obey' your parents. They should be providing sage guidance ideally you'd willingly seek and follow. If they cannot/do not do that, I wouldn't be willingly seeking their input.

The Bible says that you must HONOR your father and your mother. Give them your respect. Listen to them, while realizing that neither they, nor you, are perfect, and give them the benefit of the doubt.

I wish I had listened to my father when I was in high school.

You need to make the decisions that are right for you. You are your own person. And your parents need to accept that despite all the advice, that advice might not work.
Respecting your parents doesn't mean you have to agree with or follow all of their advice. Mine were well meaning, but we're wrong about a lot of things. Trust, but verify.

No, but if they tell you to do something and you don't, then yes you're I longer obeying them.

Not always. Sometimes your parents make BAD decisions or feel too involved and in control of your life

Advice is a suggestion, right? Not an order. 🤔
