I can't do anything. I can't go out, I can't play inside (games) and it's summer vacation. My mom says she has to take care of us so she stays inside 24/7. It's me and my brother, we're both 19. It's ruined the relationships with our friends, it's made her paranoid too. I can't watch movies on our HBO because my parents puts on Parental Control. We couldn't get a job this year because we had to go to another country with my parents on vacation (even though we didn't want to) and there's no time until school starts. I don't get it, we get good grades, we always respect them, we never hurt anyone. I feel like I'm trapped in a cage.
When my dad comes home, my mom tells him everything that happened, most of them are stuff like; they didn't take the dog out today, they didn't cook for our guests etc. The only connection we have to the outside is the internet, but she keeps taking away our modems and our laptops. It's a complicated situation for us. Is this normal?

NO - ABSOULTELY NOT!!! Don't let anyone - even your parents make you feel like this is semi-normal. I'm sorry this is something you have to deal with on a daily basis I truly am. My Dad is kinda like that too .. just not as strict. My Dad likes to rat me out for stupid stuff to my Mom b/c he gets some kind of sick enjoyment out of making me upset. Dude - all I can tell you is .. when you graduate highschool either convince them to let you go away to school .. or just move out and get a place with a few close friends. (I'm not sure what your intentions are I'm just assuming college)
Parents like this are not normal parents. Don't listen to people when they say "your Mom is you Mom" b/c that is the most terrible answer for a situation like this. Yeah she's your Mom but she either has control issues or mental problems.
Since this is a really odd situation if you want to take a step forward .. what I would do is talk to my grandparents or a relative or someone that would be able to intervene and talk to them. If worse comes to worse you and your brother should rebel against your psychotic Mother and peace out. Get a full time job and live with someone else. I'm sorry but this is NOT normal. You should not have to subject yourself to her psychotic ways everyday of your life. Your Mother and Father are emotionally draining the life out of you guys. No one should have to live like this with their parents.

No it is not normal when your mom tells your dad all the negatives about the day. If your 19 you know you can leave. Just use this as a experience that you will never want to be like that with your kids. You need to have a life. Your only young once.

Why are you 19 and still living at home? You're a big boy, get a job, an apartment and start living your own life. It's pretty simple really, grow up and be responsible.

No it's very strange. Your 19 and still at home? She's trying to get you out. You want to live by your rules, get your own place.

Its not normal in this country for 19yr olds to be so dependent on their parents. Get a job and move out. You don't need their permission.
