i am almost 30 years old for crying out loud. i've lived on my own for years debt free and still stress about their disapproval of me. up until a few years ago, i let their opinions change my personal decisions. i don't want them to effect this one!
i've just accepted an excellent job opportunity that will change my career path for the future. i've done all my research on it. as it turns out - better pay, better hours, better co-workers, i have not burned my bridges at the old job just in case i have to go groveling back and STILL my parents are criticizing my decision.

ok first srep dont see it as criticizing see it as a challange, try and rise above them it will only make you work harder, i had the same problem i left a job that i was financially stable in and my parents freaked bacause i have a child and i was a single mom, i went for a job in real estate that is a commision based only job! but now i mean i am extreamly sucessfull and i can give my daughter a life my parents could never give me! look they are verry proud of me now but it took a lot of hard work and the attitude of " ill show you" to get that
so getb that kind of attitude and prove to yourself that it was the right decision!

Your parents are controlling you with their criticisms. You need to talk to them less often and find some honest friends who are not so critical. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THEM. Even if they become nicer, beware of the next criticism. Be brave. Good luck.

I think everyone wants their parents approval in one way or another just don't stress it think about what you want not what your parents want for you your old enough to make your own decisions just do whats right for you if they don't like it to hell them.

relies upon on the moms and dads and the little ones, i'd say, yet even as my daughter grow to be in severe college I really did not "quit being concerned" about her. If some thing, I grew to grow to be more suitable in contact when you consider that we had more suitable in undemanding as she matured.

People are trained in their social behavior. Little story: Little boy felt alone. So he kicked his sister. Parents scolded him for doing so. Little boy learns that if he is "mean", then he gets attention. So maybe earlier in life your parents learned to criticize as their means of giving attention.
So for you, consider that their criticizing is their means of giving you attention. And according to you, they are giving you lots of attention and that means love.

Value their opinion but the decision can only be made by you.
