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

Both of my parents think I can’t be trusted to do simple things like paint a bedroom, hang up a shelf, or figure out which bus goes to the airport. Worse, they get mad at me when I do these things on my own. It’s so freaking bizarre. A part of me thinks it’s because both of my parents lost a parent young and had to grow up fast, so this is their way of protecting me, but it’s really aggravating. And whenever I try to bring it up, they call me ungrateful.

I've read that narcissist parents tend to see their children as an extension of themselves rather than as individuals in their own right. So when the adult child acts in a way they don't expect or don't want, their reaction is a bit over the top negative and the reverse of what you'd expect. A reasonable person would be glad their kid knows how to do all those things on their own, because that's a sign they've grown up and you did your job right. A narcissist gets upset...
