I turned 19 a few months ago. I know I’m not yet an adult, but my parents treat me like I’m still a little kid. They’re constantly checking on me, setting me home times, and recently they’ve tried to ground me. Yes, detention for a 19-year-old.
Despite the fact that she has been living on her own for a year, I pay for my studies, pleasures, and I often do shopping for home. My parents act as if I was completely subordinate to them and continued to live on their pot. Every time I try to talk to them and ask them to start treating me like a grown woman, I’m told that as long as I live under their roof, I have to follow their orders. I wanted to start contributing to the bills to have some bargaining chip, that it was our house, not only theirs, but I heard that they would not accept money since I was a child and I should stop playing donor.
I really have no idea what else I can do. All that’s left is to move out. However, the prices of even small studio apartments in Warsaw are huge. I can’t afford to rent anything right now. Also, I don’t want to move out, I love them and I enjoy living with them, but since I’m an adult, they treat me more strictly than before. I’ve never had a set time to return, and now they’re suddenly disturbed when I come home at night. Now they constantly want to know where I am, what I’m doing and who I’m with.
I don’t know if I’m exaggerating or if it’s like that for everyone. I can only compare it to the adulthood of my older brother. They didn’t do that with him. He had no rules and he didn’t have to follow any rules. The more I wonder why, in my case, the situation is like this.
