Re: Adults of FS, do your parents still treat you like a child?

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds like my parents. It never got better. They always thought of and treated me like I was on the day I left home. I’m almost 50 and my only remaining parent still does this. It doesn’t really bother me anymore; while it sucks that my parents couldn’t be bothered to get to know me or take an interest in my life, it’s still been an awesome life. They’re the ones who have missed out, not me.

That's a good attitude to have. I guess I regret not having a better relationship with my parents. Not that our relationship is bad! We talk regularly, enjoy spending time together, stuff like that. But it stings that they reflexively act as though they have a low opinion of my intelligence and decision-making skills, and that this is a totally reasonable approach in their view. It must partly stem from anxiety and growing older, worrying that I won't be able to get along without them. But... I have never given them a cause for worry? I graduated college in 4 years, with good grades. I'm financially independent. I moved out after college. I'm in a good relationship, with a steady job that doesn't earn big bucks, but it's fine - and more than fine in this damn economy.

But none of them has convinced them that no, actually they CAN trust me to drive across the town I grew up in by myself and run some errands.
