Parents on my back

[jason86]

Well suddenly ive got myself a life and started going out more and doing things, i mean im hardly even at home. My parents have now started getting on my back a lot about me going out too much but its like being at home is so boring now. Im coming back home late and they like just getting so concerned. Now my parents know they cant stop me from going out but i just feel bad and feel that i need to do something about this, dont know what.

Any advice on this situation?

keep doing what u are doing. if u let them call the shots this early, they'll have u whipped for years to come.

that means your parents are kinda adjusting to this new trend. U said u got urself a life and not in the house...

being at home is so boring now.

I agree. And when I'm at home, I get stuck up with my parents on some days... and then friction happens.

but i just feel bad and feel that i need to do something about this, dont know what.

Spend some time with them sometimes. If you got a parttime job or any source of income, why not treat them sometimes? Spend some time together... at least that will send them a signal that their kid doesn't have problems with them and is doing fine.

This is harder to do tho... if you got some anger issues with your parents.

They're experiencing a new aspect of life on which you have taken in. They haven't dealt with it much, so it makes them uncertain and frightened. After it becomes a normal part of life, they will see there is no harm in it, and will know how to properly deal with it in themselves. I went through the same thing. Your parents just need time and it will eventually go away.

yea i guess its something new to them and its just a bit of a shock. ill definitly now try spending more time with them if that will help but i dont really think ive been ignoring them, i still have some deep convos with them but they still just acting the same. ah ill just see how things go as time goes by

as time goes by, they'll be OK about it.

truth is, a lot of parents are oversecure about their maturing children.

I even have to tell my mom where im going (sometimes), or else she'll be concerned.
