Is it alright for parents to dictate the life of a 24 yr. old?

I live away several states away from my parents. I am finanially independent in a way, my parents are paying off my big lone for the year while I am getting my masters because I cannot afford while in school and they are making us pay. For starters I was never a bad kid, no huge rebellious stages, no drugs, no sex, no nude pictures posted on the net. Good student. Recently my mom wanted to get facebook. Probably to keep tabs on me. But really I have nothing interesting on it. Today, she had my dad call me and tell me to change my profile pic. It’s just of me taken from above, fully clothed and I’m wearing a t-shirt wearing. He said I needed to be more professional on fb. That I needed to not take quizzes, and I should put up a professional picture b/c I’m a professional now. I am going to grad school to be a teacher. They said they are proud of me and looking out for me. But it made me want to delete my account. It’s like I have nothing to express myself with. They were like what if employers want to see it … for goodness sakes my mom’s on there - I def know not to put crazy crap up (everything’s mom appropriate on there!). I’d gladly show them my account. I am even friends on there with my managers from work and frankly they have more crap that’s not professional than I do.

But if I told them that - I’d be told I’m not everyone and just because everyone is doing it doesn’t make it right. My boyfriend says they dicate my life and asks me how long am I going to take it. I’m so depressed. I really am. I feel so torn. He says I do everything to make her happy…I don’t know what to do.

Ok … well the problem with telling them I’m adult … it doesn’t work. They say being an adult doesn’t mean anything and that they know more and are looking out for me. That age doesn’t matter … so responses like that won’t work.
