howdy all,


This is for you older guys...Well i'm 29 male single and my parents still treat me like a little kid....will they ever treat me like an adult(especially from my mother)....?maybe when i get married and have kids?Or is it gonna be this way till they die....?I don't really get into any real trouble anymore kinda old for that nonsense.I'm just living the best i can.All i want is just a little respect!!was bored and thought i'd rant.







peace

 

Same way here man....I'm 30. For the longest time that pissed me off, but now I figure f@#k it, whatever. They're my parents and I figure that when I have a family with kids, I'll be the same way. Just go with it and let them enjoy.

 

do you live at home?

 

I'm 24 and my parents didn't start thinking of me as an adult until I started making more money than them. I think they think that once I'm financially stable they can rest in peace. Funny how it works.

This is an Asian household and I haven't lived with them since I was 14. I am in California and they are on the other side of the planet. I think that helps too.

They're thinking about moving in with me soon so I hope they won't complain too much about my bachelor lifestyle.

 

No...I work for my parents, at a motel they own.currently living in one of the rooms.I don't pay rent. they give me 3k take home a month and i have a second job which i make about 4k a month.so i make a total of 7k a month...I don't think thats too bad for someone my age.








peace

 

i'm 27, been living on my own since i was about 19, my dad still does this to a degree. He's gotten much better, but that sure didn't happen on it's own. My mom once she got used to the fact I'm on my own was fine and we have a decent understanding of each other's limits. With my dad it just some times feels like he just doesn't get it, but I know he does it unknowingly and because essentially he cares. It takes constant reminders.

Have you tried talking to them? Have you demonstrated you're self sufficient?

 

what's your second job if you don't mind me asking?

 

usually if you receive some sort of support from your parents, they are entitled to lecture you and run your life....

break completely free and it is harder for them to tell you what to do.

get a great job, make something of your life, and see that they start respecting you more, and treating you like a kid less.

live at home by choice when you are over 22 and you are not only asking for them to yell at you, but everyone in your life should as well...

 

I know what you mean I'm 27 (started to worry more around 22) and my mom seems to worry now more about me than she really did when i was 17 and going to Mexico to party. I dont really mind though since I live with her for the time being, I was out on my own at 18 but within the last couple of years she went through a divorce and had a car accident that has left her more mentally affected than anything, more of like depression and anxiety so instead of leaving my mom alone it was better that i move in since my brother and sisters are all married with kids. All in all I think parents will always worry no matter what age you are at.

 

Your mom will always think of you as her [Marge voice]special little guy[/Marge voice]

Just part of life I guess
