A netizen shared how he got a new place and his parents then came over to keep him company, but then they started controlling the things he does and his home.
Here is the story:
“Re: Guilty about not living with parents
I recently got my new place. As I’m single, my parents decided to come over and their best intent to keep me company since there is more than sufficient space.
I felt that my freedom is lost as I no longer have my whole space to myself.
I don’t fancy things not in their place the way I like it, neither do I like the choice of music and tv program.
I know I sound really mean and selfish as I was Ok when I was much younger and living at their place but when I grew up, I didn’t even want to share my space with them. To be honest, occasional visits are fine with me like 2-3 overnight stays.
I just cannot stand every day and every night and have to listen to their comments and opinions when I decide about my choices.
It really makes me mad when what I get decided gets vetoed off as a lousy decision, for example, during the renovation phase.
It’s not that they have bad opinions but it’s just, I have grown up. I confided in 2 friends about this and one says it’s my place so I should have the full decision and the other suppose I’m really not an easy person to live with.
I do agree I’m not the best accommodating person when it comes to living together. I just want to know: Am I really mean to think like this or is this normal?”
Editor’s note: It’s your house isn’t it? Stand up for yourself.
