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

Try and talk to them. Tell them that you have grown up and that are want to figure out your life by yourself. Tell them that you got this and that even if you make a mistake you can learn from it. It is very important to make that clear to them, because they will just assume that you are not growing up or cant take care of yourself if you dont show them that you are capable of caring for yourself. You will always be small or a nagging teenager to them. try and tell them otherwise. :D

You've to start acting like a grown up. I know many parents treat us like teenagers because they are just too worried about our safety and they maybe don't think that we are ready to handle all our problems on our own. So to prevent it, you can talk to them about how you feel when they do behave like that with you. If you don't want to directly talk, you can give hints like when they treat you like teenager, you say I m grown up and Now I know to handle problems on my own so don't stress your mind too much. This way you won't hurt them also and you will get your work done.. Hope it helped

Don't be afraid to talk to your parents about how you are feeling. They are not mind readers. You have to make it known to them. If at any point when you go home you feel as if they are treating you like a child or teen, make an effort to bring it up to them. But you have to be mature about it. Don't go complain. It only gives them more of a reason to treat you as a teenager. Instead, approach it with a mature manner. Be respectful toward them throughout the whole conversation, no matter how they treat you.

Try to openly and honestly talk to them! Have a conversation! Tell them what you think is going on, why it’s bothering you, and how it would be better for you! Try to be respectful, and coming from a place of love and understanding. Keep in mind that your parents just want you to be happy and safe. Maybe ask them about their own youth, parents or how they grew up and became independant and mature. tell them what you need from them, and ask them what they need from you! Just be honest, try to be nice! Your parents truly do mean well.

Independence is a joyous thing, and bringing it into the family home requires new boundaries to be set, as your relationship with your parents matures. You have hopefully transformed your personality from either a) A child to a teenager, or b) a teenager to an adult! Either case, your parents actions or reactions are always outside of your circle of control. However, you can still influence their actions with how you act and how YOU respond to what they have to say or how they treat you. Of course, in the end, this all boils down to responsibility, and respect. All good parents want to see their kids living a successful, happy life, and it can be very challenging for them to feel that you are headed in that direction if you a) don't return their love and affection b) don't spend time with them, or c) ask for favors and use them as a crutch to get your life in order. Just a few examples, so don't take any of this too seriously if it's not true for you.

If you are a teenager- take their advice and see what they mean. Ask for clarity, what if they actually are trying to help you better? Ask questions! If you are an adult with your own life - then be open with them. Tell them exactly how you feel. Don't argue and be respectful. Try to listen to their side of the explanation as well. Maybe they have something behind their reasoning. You're a smart individual, take the time to thoroughly listen to their side of the reasoning. Don't interrupt and try to hear them out. They mean the best, they really do.

You are the expert of your family. You could try to explain to them how you are feeling, and see where that leads. Tell them that you are frustrated with how you are being treated, and work with them on how to make the situation better for everyone. Listen to their side of the story. They may feel worried for you, and just want you to be safe and okay. They are your family, and they love you. I hope you find peace with what’s going on, and i hope that everything works out for the better. treat yourself with kindness.

First of all this is a hard pill to swallow but stop acting like one! What I mean by that is do you automatically refer back to child mode when you walk in or do you give them respect as an adult? To your parents you will always be their child but your needs have changed, in order to make change you need to talk to them and let them know how the way they treat you makes you feel and own it! Have a discussion in a calm respectful way as they may think they are doing good and may not mean to belittle you! Good Luck x

Setting boundaries is very important in relationships, even with parents. As an adult they need to know what is acceptable behaviour and what is not. Be clear to them about what you want. Asking for certain behaviours to change isn't having an attitude or being rude, it's called being assertive. Parents can be pushy, and sometimes they may still feel that need to baby and protect their children (even when they're adults). Communication is key. Maybe you could phrase certain things in a way, or offer compromises I.e "Im happy to do this for you, but I would also appreciate it if you did this for me in return. Is that OK?"

I know this situation from personal experience very well. In my opinion there is the option to do something that will show your parents how you have developed in a sense where you look at your own daily actions to analyze what might make them think you are acting like a teen, or if you really want to bring your point across there's always the option to just talk to them about this issue. You don't have to hold things like this in. In a good family relationship, actually relationships as a whole, talking about things that bother you is very important.
