I am not a baby anymore!

its the same with me too!..even my parents are over-caring and over-possesive, but they hardly seem to realise that! moreover, whenever i try to discuss it with them, they always twist the topic and say that i am very careless and i don't keep my room clean. now the biggest scientist also cannot corelate the two things, that is what has my room being dirty got to do with my not being fit for a night stay alone?..actually the thing is that our parents think we are still small kids, and yet another reason is that they love us a lot and are soo attached to us that they don't want to leave us alone!

I'm sure they are love you so much that they don't want to see any hurt on you.I have leave college for one year,and my mother still feel i am a baby,I couldn't deal with complex comunication,and often idon't know what i should do.She often worried this.Now i have a work,and peaple think i am old enough to face the world,but that not true,i am often afraid to face the world.Though you are old enough,you still have something to dealwith.

hey buddy! i think no matter 21 or 31 in your parent's mind you awalys is a kid! they just care about you! hope you can under standing that!

I don't think it's a matter of their not being fair. I think it's a matter of their being unreasonable and not realizing that most 21-year-olds go where they want to go.

I can understand their worries because people your age aren't quite completely mature and do often make bad judgments. Still, most parents realize that there isn't much they can do but hope their son or daughter doesn't make any bad choices that could cause serious consequences.

You must be a very decent person to go along with your parents' telling you whether you can go somewhere.

When parents try to have too much say in what grown kids do they do, essentially, make kids feel they have to lie.

I suppose you should try to be patient, since you're graduating college soon. Then plan to find a roommate and move out.

Well, you are acting like a baby right now ranting over your strict parents.:) he he kidding aside, just be honest with your parents let them know how you feel about the whole thing. My mom was like your parents... imagine me at 26 and is already working, she always wants to know what i do and where i am at... i guess parents care is genuine and they just want what is best for us. never ever neglect their concern for you. And Never Lie. What if something bad happens to you? they will not know where you are going... or where to find you.

Sometimes parents are just over protective. Show them you are trustworthy and you will be fine. okay? if you need to talk i am here.:)

Why not talk to your parents?
tell them that your ll grown up now and u can take care of urself whn u go out qith your friend..
tell them that they don't have to worry so much about you because u can handle yourself..^_^
