quietGuy13 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I'm an adult. age early 30s. i go out and come back home at 7 or 6pm and i get scolding and lectured just because of that. And they always say that I have to tell them excatly who, and exactly where i go. Do i have to? I though i have the right to my private life.
Elysian Powder Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 You're living with them? They have the right to do as they please inside their house.
cerridwen Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 OP is a guy and single. Not everyone who is 30 is married btw. Why would you make a nonsense assumption like that? Are you sure?
cerridwen Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I'm 33 and don't ever want to get married and I'm female. Dislike kids too; don't ever want them. Many people are content being alone and don't need a partner to make them "happy". Mm, yes. I agree. Marriage and kids aren't for everyone. Here's to you never having children!
Lucky_One Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Quiet_Guy, my son is much younger than you. But when he comes and goes, he tells me where he is going, who he is with, and when he will be home. It's a matter of courtesy and of safety. Now you are older, but you are also socially inept. Your parents may worry as much about you at 33 as I worry about my high school aged son. Is it REALLY that big of a deal to tell them that you are meeting Jane at the library?? It's not like you are hiding visits to a whorehouse or a crack run.
OnyxSnowfall Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Absolutely you do. Geez, what's this world coming to that people even have to ask this question

Start living like a man and maybe they`ll start treating you like one. Until then, their house, their rules.
Citizen Erased Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Aren't you disabled? I can see why they're concerned.
oaks Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I though i have the right to my private life. Yes, you do. However, since you still live with your parents (I'm guessing they're providing your accommodation and more, unless you're paying a commercial rate for your room and meals and laundry service etc) and given other issues you've discussed before, they're right to be concerned about you and what you're doing. Share a little with them - volunteer a bit rather than waiting until they demand answers and they might back off and ask less. Tell them "I'm going to see a movie with Christine and I won't be back until 9pm", for example.
Pasttense Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 OP I think you should explain your desire for privacy to them. If they don't stop then move out.
