If you live with your parents, your parents house, your parents rules. Don't like it, move out.

I lived with my parents until I was almost 25. You bet your butt I was home before midnight on a "school night" and 2am on a weekend night. It's their house. They're generous enough to let me live there after I should've been long gone. And clean my clothes, feed me, cook for me, give me garage space for my car etc.

You're 22. You are an adult. You do not have to ask for permission to move. If you don't like your conditions, leave.

No not all 22 yr olds are treated like that. From what your saying, it dosen't sound right to me. I raised two kids on my own, and never did that. It is one thing to discipline children, but you are 22 yrs old, you should be able to do what u want within reason. Have a job, have a license. I will add u as a friend, if u need to talk or vent send me a message, I am very understanding, and a good listener. Hang in there......xxxxxxxxx

Are you an only child? Sounds like they don't want you to grow up and leave them.

Goodest isn't a word, not even close.

You sound like a kid.

When I lived at my parents house when I was in college, I had a curfew and I also had to pay rent to my parents. Half of what I made during the summer when I lived there.

If you don't like the rules at home, you can get an apartment of your own with some friends. But your parents worry about you when you aren't at home and if they have to get up in the morning to go to work, they don't want to be up to the wee hours worrying about you.

Sorry, if you live with your folks, their rules apply.

jynxxxed

They won't "let" you move? Uhh.. you're an adult.. they can't stop you. If you dislike their rules then you really need to become an adult and do things on your own.
As long as you're still living there, they're 100% right to tell you what to do/not to do.

ETA: I'm younger than you btw. I moved out when I was 17 without any assistance from family financially.. you'll figure it out if you actually want it.

The English major in me loves you right now....

Honestly though OP-you are 22, you're an adult you CAN make your own choices. It might seem easier said than done but you are old enough to move out on your own and get a job. Your parents can't stop you. Have you had a conversation with them to find out why they won't let you? Stand up for yourself and tell your parents you're getting a job (or even wati til after you get one)

Legs_McGee

You've been a legal adult for four years. If you don't like your parents' rules - move out.

umachanxo

You're 22 years old. No offense, but if you hate it there so much, put on your big girl panties and move out. Their house, their rules. I left my parents home at 17 years old - just before high school graduation.

digitalbill

once you hit the age of 18, you should have packed your bags and moved out.
That would have shown your parents that YOU are the boss. Not them.
You could have purchased your own house, paid for all utilities, food, insurance, ect ect.

You still can.
step away from the computer, pack your bags and leave.
If they try to stop you, explain that you are an adult and you are allowed to move out.

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS.

oregonzoo

move out. It's simple.

You are 22.

Dub_D

Sounds like a personal problem.

lizziebeth1028

Sounds like your parents are very controlling. At 22 you CAN do things to improve your living situation. Get a job and move out. That's it.

I moved out of a ****ty life when I was 15, lived with friends during the school year until I graduated, joined the military, and now I'm 24 with a new car, house, wife, 2 kids, and a happy life.

Not saying that to brag, I'm saying it to let you know it's possible to come from LITERALLY NOTHING, to being successful.

One thing to be mindful of... they are your parents. You only get 1 set (biologically). Do what you need to do for you, but let them know you still love and care about them (if you do... I haven't talked to my mother in 6 months, yet my dad lives with me...)

This is a strange situation.. You sound like you're a prisoner and I don't think this situation is healthy. In most households, the children are taught by their parents how to be adults, then encouraged to grow up and, eventually (hopefully by 18 or 20) leave the house and start making their own decisions and being responsible for their own life, as independents.

It sounds to me like your parents haven't given you the tools you need to grow up and are preventing you from living a normal life. If you truly want to move out and be on your own, I would think there are resources out there that would help you. I don't know what they are, but you have internet access, so hop on google and start searching.

If you live at home then you have to abide by their rules (except the dating thing that is crazy) Don't say they won't let me move out how are they stopping that if you have the money just do it there is nothing they can do to stop it. If you need them to cosign on an apartment that is a problem. If they say we will not pay for your schooling if you move out then that is a choice you have to make.
My parents didn't want me to move out I did it anyway .... When I lived with them I stayed over at friends so I didn't have to come home at 2 (this is only because my dad gets up for work early and did not want to get woken up)
You are 22 not 17 do what you want.

ahviendha

whew stream of consciousness is hard to read!

agreeing with everyone else. move out! or get a job (save up funds) then move out.

it feels great to be able to do whatever you want, whenever you want (even if it's just the laundry hah)

good luck!

secretlobster

I don't believe you're 22

love4fitnesslove4food_wechange

why are you still living with your parents at 22? If you don't like their rules then move out. Sounds like your parents are either 1) helicopter parents 2) you've shown little independence or 3) some combination of the two.

odusgolp

You sound like a child and may therefore be being treated like one.

Completely agree. This doesn't sound like a healthy situation at all. I suggest getting a job, saving up, and moving out. Most of all... believe in yourself. You can survive on your own, you just need to have the motivation. Good luck to you.

gabriellejayde

why do you need your parents to take you to get a learners permit?
Is there public transportation where you live? Do you have any friends that can take you? Can you go get a job somewhere within walking distance?

It sounds like your parents should be giving you more freedom but it also doesn't sound like you are as responsible as you think you might be. I'm sure you're a good person, but at your age, you don't need to rely on mom and dad to get things done, even if you rely on them for shelter.

hbrittingham

It sounds like you might be a bit emotionally stunted. Whether that comes from your environment or genetically, I don't know. Right now I suggest baby steps towards becoming more independent. Starting with getting your driver's license and looking for a job so you can save up to move out. Good luck.
