Whenever I go home, my parents treat me like a teenager again - how can I stop this from happening?

1) honest chats. let them know you are not a kid anymore. 2) SHOW actions like you are not a kid anymore (do your own laundry) 3) allow them to love you but tell them gently you are not a kid anymore.

Try to talk to your parents and explain them that you don't like the way they treat you and why you don't like that

Have an honest conversation with your parents, use "I-statements" explaining how you feel about what is occurring. Analyze what you want to talk about in advance so you can feel prepared to have the discussion, and remain calm when you talk to them. They may not feel ready to let go of their "baby" even though you've grown up.

feeling like your parents treat you like a teenager is difficult because they still feel as you get a little older they still see you as younger than you are because that is how they have always treated you maybe and they don't want to change what they already treated you like. you may have to tell them that they are treating you a little younger than you wish they would

Good communication is key, have an open and honest conversation with them and explain how their treatment of you is making you feel. Often we do not understand that we are doing something to cause hurt or upset to others until they tell us. However our actions and behaviours often effect how another person treats us. For example if you are acting like a teenager, they are going to treat you like one so also be mindful in how you are behaving too. Also explain to them the consequence of their actions if they do not listen, for example you may not feel like you want to visit them anymore.

By being an adult. Explain to them that you're no longer a child, you're an adult and that you have your own life now. It's not an easy thing to do. Many people fear upsetting their parents but it's all just a matter of respect. Explain that you don't appreciate being spoken down to like a child and you want a mutual respect. If they can't accept that, then it may be an entirely different matter. If you don't tell them, they won't know that it upsets you. It won't change until you make it clear and you may need to risk emotion for it. Remember to be respectful and avoid coming accross as rude.

Speak to them about it! Unless they know how you feel they won’t know to stop, or in most cases that they’re even in the wrong. In any situation similar to this you must discuss how you feel. You cannot expect change unless you know for sure others are aware of their mistakes and how they’re making you feel. As I said, they may not even be aware they still treat you like a teenager, but simply treat you like that because you’re still their child and they don’t know any different. If they never had to treat you like an adult when you lived there, they wouldn’t know how to treat you any other way.

Our parents always want to see us as kids, or as teens who haven't grown up. A good way to approach a problem with your parents is by talking it out with them and understanding why they treat you like this and give yourself a chance to share how you feel with them. Parents generally just worry about us or want the best for us. Their "experience and wisdom" (derived through age) sometimes feels more accurate than what we're doing or want to do. They may want the best for us, but it doesn't always mean they know what's best. Try looking at your life using their advice, or whatever they have to say. At least understand them and what they're saying, but overcome this barrier by making sure you grow up and be a productive adult.

In your parent's eyes, they see you as their child that they have reared and bought up. I am presuming you have moved out and they miss you very much. When you come home, they are glad to see you and want to show you their love. However, this can sometimes mean they come across as treating you as a child, even though you're not. To attempt to prevent this, you must speak to your parents about this. Let them know how it makes you feel, and that perhaps you do not enjoy these visits and perhaps do not look forward to visiting your parents. They need to understand you are an independent adult, and are willing to accept and listen to their advice, but do not need to instruct you and tell you what to do.

To our parents, we will always be a child, no matter our age. Even if you are a mature person, your parents may still worry that you are not eating well, not wearing warm enough clothes in the winter, not hanging out with the right people, or not fulfilling your dreams. As your parent’s child, you may automatically respond to these worries with the same frustration and defensiveness you experienced when you were a child trying to establish your independence. This type of regression is often self-reinforcing — in other words, your parent says or does something that reminds you of your childhood struggle for independence, inducing stress; you then respond as you did as a child; and your parent, in turn, treats you like you’re still a bratty teen.
