Hi,
I'm over 18 and my parents are too overprotective. Last night I was watching this movie and it was very good so I stayed up late to watch it till 3 am. My father came inside and began yellow and slapped me across the face. They told me to go to sleep but then I told them right now it's break and I want to finish this movie. They said that I disturb their sleep. I mean I close my bedroom door when I was watching the movie and he just open the door at 3 am in the morning just to give me lecture. I am not disturbing anyone when I watch the movie.
Not only that but also every time I go where anyone they always question. Where are you going and who are you going with ? I know they care for me but then I am not doing bad thing like drugs. And I don't go out that much anyway. Like once or twice in a week. When I say I go out I mean i go to stores that's all or hanging out with with my girlfriend. I'm just tired of how they treat me when I'm over 18 and not dong anything bad thing

No, I don't go to club or doing drugs. Two places I go to. The stores ( I like electronics) and hanging out with my gf. I only go out once or twice a week and every time I go they keep on questioning of who I hanging out. And also, last time I was with my two guy friends and we were watching a movie and they kept on calling *when are you going to go home ?* when It was like around 8 PM. By the way, I'm a guy and my guys friends are not like drug dealers. They're my friends since 7th grade.

By the way, I was watching the movie (it's a series) on a "headphone" so basically they can't hear me however at 3 am in the morning they came into my room and started yelling and pulled out my internet connection.

You need to approach your parents when your are not in the middle of the situation about this. Calmly inquire as to why your activities are so examined. They should know that you are not getting into trouble, and they are probably just trying to keep it that way, but you need to hear their reasons directly from them. Assure them that you are not being ungrateful, and appreciate that they look out for you, but remind them that you are now a man and need their guidance rather than their discipline.

You know it's better that you have parents that care too much rather than not having them. My cousin is almost 17 and his mom doesn't care what he does almost all the time. He can do anything he wants without getting in trouble because his mom has lost control over lecturing him and telling him right from wrong because she made a mistake by spoiling him too much ever since he was a little kid. But that's only because her husband died and she couldn't control both him and his sister. My cousin doesn't do drugs but he can, he just doesn't choose to, but he is still a loose canon. Some day I fear he will end up struggling the rest of his life

That's LOVE!! They love you and want to protect you, just sit down and have a talk with them and let them know how you feel tell them that if the situation doesn't change you will move out. they don't want you to go, so most likely the will take it easy. Just make sure you don't disappoint them remember they LOVE you!! and maybe you should get some headphones to plug into your TV that way you won't bother then while they sleep!

It is not about thinking that you are doing something bad but more of who you will be with and what they may or may not be doing.
Also if something happened, say like at a club or restaurant and it was on the news that something happened there, they would know where you were supposed to be. Or if something happened to one of them and the other tried to get in touch with you they could if they knew where you were.
I know it seems like a drag but there are reasons. As far as the movie thing goes, I don't get that one.

This sounds familar but I can only say that from my little experience, they will say that you are still living with them so you have to go by their rules no matter if you are 18 or 81, their house, their rules, know what I mean? I know it sucks but some parents are that way.....Even if you are out late, they have things to say, "you should be in here at a decent time, dont be out that time of the night, etc."....I know I know I know, its just one of those things.
And whenever you DO go somewhere, they always want to know, "where have you been".....lol, man its ridiculous

I think our parents know each other.... I'm 20 soon to be 21 and parents are still like that too. I'm fixin to get my own place though and their lightening up alot, cause they don't want me to move out. Don't feel bad though. My parents want me home by midnight. My brother was 21 and had to be home at 10....
Moving out is the only option you have. Their house so it's their rules.
Good Luck!

as long as your living in their house, it's their rules. you shouldn't of been hit though a simple could you please turn off the t.v. would of been enough. as far as going off with your friends it's always a good habit to let someone know where you are going to be.
