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

i'm 36 years old. my dad still checks on me when i'm driving somewhere and the road conditions are bad. Or, when i'm leaving to go somewhere he will tell me to be careful. he also doesnt let me do the heavy lifting when hes around-he does it instead. there are some ways that your parents are always going to treat you like their child because you are always going to be their child! (not all ways but some ways). i was over 20 and living on my own when i got my first deep fryer and my parents nearly had a heart attack because they were worried about me!!

You probably can't. Your parents will always see you as their kid, even when you'll be forty. I know this sounds discouraging and straight forward, but it's common to feel like your adult kid is still just a kid after all and that works the same everywhere in the world. My advice? Try to enjoy the benefits of it and look over the bad stuff like parents treating you in a lesser way.

Speak to them with a smile and in a happy manner. Tell them that you are managing so well at being independent and in living away from home. Point out how happy and relieved they must feel to see that you have grown up and are managing so well as an adult now and have got through your teenage years safely. That with their help you'd like to continue that adult independence when you return home for a visit.

dress up in a very fancy way, classy style, take some cake or some drinks with you, tell them you came for a quick visit, start off topics like jobs, politics, thing that grown ups are interested about. when you reach thirty minutes tell them goodbye and go home, excuse yourself saying you have important things to do.

Have a heart-to-heart talk with them about how you feel, and try not to accuse, but request different treatment. Explain to them all the ways you have proven yourself to be a responsible adult and tell them you feel you have earned the respect that every adult deserves. Thanking them for helping you become the adult you are today is also a great way to engage them without causing them to become defensive. And try to remember, that to your parents, you will always be their little baby, at least in their hearts. But if they know you need and desire them to view you and treat you as an adult, and how it hurts you when not treated that way, hopefully they will treat you differently.

Find respect for yourself, and see yourself as an adult first. Your parents are only reflecting back at you your own opinion of who you are.

By showing them that you’re older and more mature. Not letting things get in the way, trying to keep a good relationship with them and take on the stuff that comes your way.

I can relate,look,try not to pay attention to it,in there eyes you are still a baby,and i recommend you go with the flow,because one day they will not be there for you,so enjoy your precious moment's with them

Talking to them about the way that you feel about it would be a good start, and listen to what they have to say in return.

This is just a parent thing, no matter how old you'll become, you'll always be their 'baby'. However, you could try speaking to them about it and explain it's making you uncomfortable.
