A few nights ago a guy friend who happens to like me (we go on dates) picked me up from my parents house who Im staying with for 2 months. Just to go out to a show at a bar. My dad was the only one home and said he didnt care if he met him or not. So I just went out when the guy got there. 2 days later my step mother brings up how there is something wierd about a guy (boyfriend or not) not picking you up at the door. I said theres nothing wierd about it, we just disagree. She didnt want to let it go, and kept going. Then my dad chimed in. I turned and said I really didnt want to talk about it. And he started screaming at me. Im secretive, I think the world revolves around me or that everyone must want to know my business, that Im hiding something. Im 25 y/o, have a great job, make my own money, have lived on my own for 6 years. WTF. I know my parents like to gossip, but all the yelling to try and force personal info out of me? Is this normal? I would understand if I were a teenager.??

Yes, i agree.. if you were a teenager, it would be appropriate for the boy to come to the door.. but you're over 21 now, and have a life of your own. Besides, you said your dad was totally disinterested in meeting your date... so why would he suddenly care if the man came to the door?
If it were me, i'd just tell my parents that it's not up for discussion anymore, and ignore them. Maybe they like drama, as you said?
sending hugs and i hope you get out of there soon! take care.

It sounds like they are just trying to force their hand. Sometimes parents tend to over step boundries when their children get older... cause "drama", because that is way they can show they are STILL in charge.
The best thing to do is to keep a low profile, maybe try to discuss it. Definately get your ducks in a row and get out as soon as you can.

i understand you suggested mothers and fathers over 25 and Im 23 yet it is strictly what my Dad did to me and that i imagine that maximum anybody is too afraid to attempt this to their childrens now a days and its a shame. My childrens understand what a good spanking is and they understand Wednesday and Sunday are for church and kinfolk and they are in uncomplicated words 4 and a couple of.

you may be 25 but look, your in their home.
she seems to have old fashioned values.
if under their roof, why not play by their rules?
