Is it normal for parents to act like this?
I’m 20 years old and I’m working two jobs and go to school, I live at home with my mom and dad but when I want to go out I have to be home by 11 pm and no later no matter what day. Well it’s not fair in my eye’s I pay rent in all but I still have a curfew, well my boyfriend of one year said I can live with him. I want to I just don’t know what the out come is going to be when I do this they don’t like him they say it’s because he doesn’t always come over. But when he doesn’t they treat him like a dumb dog they just look at him and if he says something they don’t say anything back. This guy has nothing but put up with them. And he doesn’t get why they don’t like him? He is such a wonderful guy and I don’t want to lose him over my family, like for my birthday he wanted to take me to las vegas and they said no that i’m not able to go because I have to clean? Is this normal for parents to do this? And why so you do it I guess what i’m asking can any one help me out with this I want to keep my family close when I move out but I don’t think it’s going to happen Can anyone help me see the light with my issue? Or has any one been though this and can offer help?
Thank Lost and confused
My son has had a few girlfriends with parents like this. Like he was dating a 20 year old and her parents really liked him. He went and picked her up while her parents were at work and brought her to my house to watch a movie and to basically meet me. Well they had been here for like 30 minutes and her mom was literally beating at the door telling her to get in the car. A couple more episodes like that my son broke up with her. But from a parents perspective it is sooo hard to let go, I have let go of 3 children and fixing to with a 4th one. Most parents are hard wired to give birth and take care of their child for 18 years and then bam…they are not needed anymore. I don’t say anything about where my son goes cause he is over 18 but I have to hear from him because I care about him and want to know he is ok. I am a worry wart and he knows it and he does call and let me know he is ok. You kind of have to abide by your parents rules if you are in the house. I don’t say 11 pm but I do tell my grown child that he needs to be home at a decent hour because everyone has to get up in the mornings, and I have to indoor dogs that bark at anything. But sometimes the parents just will not cut the apron strings and sometimes if that is the case then the child has to. That means moving out. If you think you can, set them down and have a talk with them and tell them that you feel that 11 is too early and any others things are bothering you about how they are doing. If you can’t come to a compromise like that, then start making plans to move out. But do not let this be the deciding factor in moving in with your boyfriend. If you think you are ready for that, then do it but if you are not sure, then maybe you need to get your own place. Good luck!
I do agree a lot with mysticunicrn shes rite on a lot of thing I mean am going through something very similar and I am also thinking of moving out to tell you the truth our cases are so similar that I though I was reading my own lol well if you believe you could be successful at either beein on your own or living with your boyfriend then do it but if for some reason you think I should wait then do let nothing rush you on a decision like this remember is your experience in life not there’s and I know they want the best for you but theres things you have to experience for yourself so you could learn good luck and tell me how everything goes
