My parents and I live in the same household. For some reasons, they like to repeat themselves all the time on things they've already asked me to do. I'm not referring to cases where I'm refusing. For example, they asked me to buy something for them within a week and I agreed. During that week, they will keep on "reminding" me to do it. How do you analyse this kind of psychological behavior? Every time I've been sticking to my promise and outcome is always satisfactory. I don't mind to help out in the family but the "repetition" really annoys me. Talked to them a million times and they say they won't do it again but continues.

If you're old enough maybe you should get your own place.

It would have been better if you had said you were 14 or 24. Do you need reminding? Age has something to do with the answer because a young person needs reminders....... a person passed the age of 18 need not depend on Mom and Dad or reminders. You said ----you and your parents live in the same household.......who pays the bills? Does that answer the Q?

Deal with it with humor. Buy a piggy bank and write on it: 1 dollar charge for repetitions. Every time you agreed to something write it on a piece of paper and stick it to the piggy bank. When someone repeats it, show them the message on the paper...tell your parents to better have one dollar bills from now on...

It is just a way to be on the safe side. They might have to remind them selves about things so they do it all the time just so they did remember to tell you whatever they wanted to tell you
