Take them for whatever they've got to give you for as long as you can. They luv you and that's why they are over-protective. I was in the same boat as you about 8 years ago. With hindsight, if you can support yourself, go for it, otherwise why suffer the financial and mental torture of the grown up world.
Um, how old ARE you? I've just thought that some Greeks are like, 40 and still live at home, but their parents don't mind coz they're, well, Greek. Unless you ARE Greek and they are nagging you to get married and have babies. Then I would understand their point of view. So, what is it?

I know, I felt like that as a kid, too.
Now I'm free. Free to make car payments, house payments, college tuition payments, free to go to work.
Your parents won't always nag you. Eventually, you will all grow older and you may just find that you all enjoy each other. Try to get to that point without hurting each other too much. You won't always have them. And then you'll miss them. So just love them and be glad they want the best for you, even though it doesn't always come out of their mouths in the best way.

I did want to be free many many years ago and get from one prison to an other ( marriages). Until I decide look for help. I believe you have difficulty with communication in your relation with your parents. I do not say you or thy are guilty, I just pointing that you do not feel happy home because the communication is not functioning.The nagging is very bad and must make you feel depress, but ask your self if there is not a reason for it. Over protective may come from fer , because thy love you and worried for you. But to much protection can make you invalid and very insecure. So talk to them. Let them know what you feel. No scrims no bad words just nice loving talk one day when occasion allow you to do it.And always start with "I feel" If that will not help, tray to get help to talk to some one with knowledge how to resolve family dilemmas. Let me know please what you think when you say I want to be free.??
Best for you.

unfortunately all parents nag... it is the circle of life but not to worry for in the distant future you will turn into your parents and nag your children for the same things they nag you about today what a pleasant thought!!!!!

You are very lucky to have parents who are protective of you. When you have children you will understand how much you want to do the best for them. Freedom will come all to soon. Then you will realise just what an amount they do for you all the time and you hadn't thought of it.
You only have one mum and dad. Treasure them while they are here. My parents are great I am lucky they have been together for all my life. Now I live 500 miles away from them and I don't get to see them as much as I want.

I have a really good relationship with my parents. You probably won't understand until you have children of your own, but it truly is because they love you very much and only want what is best for you. You'd miss them if they didn't nag. :-)

To tell the truth, sometimes a bit silly on some little things, having no basis or fact as a reason to prevent me from doing something completely (or mostly) harmless. But I still love 'em, because they're the family I got, and I think I must be pretty lucky.

Some advice from an old fogey. Appreciate your parents why you still have them. I lost my mum in 2004 and I miss her like crazy. I know we nag and interfere but that's just us caring for our kids.

My mom's fine. Except she just goes on the computer a LOT of the time, thus ignoring me.
The only reason I would want to be free is that when I have the house to myself, sometimes I feel disappointed when mom gets back from work.
And it'd be nice to live with someone else who you could talk to frequently.
