22 male still live at home. I am definitely moving out by next year. Will be going to make some money and find a roommate. I am not sure if the average 21-22 year old still lives at home or not but i am pretty sure more than half does. Still in college but i go to a COMMUTER SCHOOL.

I know if you live at your parents home that you have to abide by their rules but are they allowed to check out your stuff. I got really pissed off last night when i came home and found my drawers where i put my personal stuff there such as my money, credit cards and other personal things there and found out my mom went through my stuff.

This is not new news. She has been constantly doing this since i was a child. I have told her at least 500 times out of my mouth the line do not check my stuff. Its not your business and why are you looking through my stuff. I been saying this stuff since i was 18 to her. I dont go into your room and check out your things. I am also Chinese by the way and most Asians will tell you their parents are overbearing. Mine are and my mom is just damn noisy. I have a younger sister thats 19 and she does that stuff too. She even tells her she shouldnt be friends with so and so and my sister usually crys and gets mad. This is THIS SUMMER b/c my sister is staying at home this summer b/c she goes to college upstate and lives there during school time. I still live at home b/c I do not have money now but will be looking ASAP early next year b/c I cannot stand it anymore.

My question is are parents allowed to do this stuff? Its an invasion of privacy but i still live under their home... we live in an apartment not house. She never TAKES my stuff but she just goes through my desk and all those things. I am not home most of the time but i tell her EVERY DAMN TIME don't go into my room when I am not home. The solution some of you say is to lock the door but isn't just TELLING your mother don't go into my room NOT ENOUGH? I had a couple of locks but i had this habit of misplacing or losing my keys to my room so I stopped doing that.

She even called me like at 1130pm and asked me if i was coming back home and where i was. I mean... is this pathetic or what? The thing that pisses me off the most is that she does this crap to my sister. My dad notices too and says stop it but he is like that to my sister as well just not that much. Last year when she went to college, they were so worried and kept calling my sister every damn day. I told them to stop worrying and when my sister said her first day there she didn't like it... my parents wanted to go there and get her back and make her transfer to a commuter school. I told them HELL NO b/c my sisters life was going to be like **** if she stayed at home for school. She still staying in school upstate so she lives there.


Anyone have parents like this? I mean overbearing AND noisy? They even ask you who do you like and does anyone like you? I mean is that even damn their business what i do?

thanks everyone.
 

She makes you weak in the knees.

But she won't give you the time of day.

Here is how to get her.

I just hide the stuff I dont wish my mother to see, it shouldnt be that hard to do even if you have a small room. Just be creative.

And you said she called you at 11:30 to see where you were? Do you have a specific time you are expected to be home?

When they ask inapproapriate questions like who do you like give an obnoxious answer. Dont be rude and mad when you say it, just say something like "hookers" or "well there is this one guy in my class..." with a smartass grin.

Try not to hate them for being curious, I have a much healthier relationship with my parents now that I talk to them every once in a while. I just tell them what im doing for the night. Sometimes its the truth and sometimes its not, just tell them something so their minds are at ease.

No i dont. But they just want to know where i am at. The funny thing is my mom keeps telling me to enjoy myself and have fun yet when i do something, she keeps on calling me and worried on where i am at.

No i dont believe in hiding stuff in my room. If i say dont check my stuff, YOU SHOULDN'T. I even said to her, do you see me going into your room and looking at your stuff?

Then go for guilt and leave a note in your dresser saying "thanks for respecting me, mom" with a frowny face and tear.

just start going through their stuff when they're out, turn it all over and sh!t. explain that you want to perpetuate cultural practices for the new generation. start randomly calling them. stop answering your phone too. ignore them and concentrate on college. don't answer questions. make damn sure you move out. the chinese people i know are almost all living at home at the age of thirty, as a result they're helpless virgins with no life skills. you don't want to end up like that.

Sounds like you have AFC parents!

Time for you to make plans for moving out, bud. Get a job and save up some..

My parents weren't even aware of when they started to 'push me out'... It was just an increase in irrational/annoying/irritating behavior from them that I don't think they were even conscious of, probably just instinctive. Guess what I did? Got a job, put up with it for 6 months, now I live on the far side of the world paying my own way.

Don't get me wrong, I love them and I know that what they did--whether conscious or unconscious--was for the best and I'm in a better place in life because of it.

Just know when it's time to move on.

--

I had an asian girlfriend for a few months a couple years ago, and I almost fell in love with her :p because she was such an emotional wreck and so vulnerable. She had very very very overbearing parents who she wouldn't even let know about me. She used to tell me about her home life with tears in her eyes, its something I'll never forget. I told her to do what I'm telling you to do now...

Get a good job, save up, move out. Once you're on your own I can guarantee your parents will still love you but you won't have to put up with their 'faults'. If you need some money for education or something, they'll be glad that you're achieving your goals rather than sitting in their home. That's just the way parents are...

Youre 22, they CAN but dont really have a reason to snoop around your room. Obviously they either have nothing better to do, want to be in control, or dont realize how old you are. Why dont you ask her what shes looking for? If she wants to keep this sh*t up its time to play some jokes. Leave a bunch of porn laying around in the open, throw some condoms arounds and put a little ketchup on them...something. Then she'll flip her sh*t and you can laugh.
