Hey all! So I’m a 24 (almost 25) year old who is a grad student. In my opinion, I do everything right. I still miss my family and visit them often. I would consider myself conservative for sure, and I am a christian, as well as my family. But whenever I go home to visit, my parents are super weird about alcohol. Whenever I go out with my friends, they don’t really “allow it.” And after visiting my parents, my dad confronted me and was like “I went through your room and found 3 empty bottles of alcohol!!!” And got really mad at me. I just feel weird. I don’t know if it’s normal for parents to do that. It’s not like I am an alcoholic or a druggie, obviously. I love visiting my parents but I don’t know why they are making me feel bad about this? I work so hard all the time and just want to please them. I am about to graduate with my masters degree at the University of Southern California and feel like I deserve to have fun once and awhile. But I don’t want to disappoint them. Has anyone gone through the same thing? If so, what did you do?
This is a duplicate thread.
Yeah, sorry. I just figured out how to use this website as we speak. Won’t happen again.
Tell them you are an adult and they need to get over it.
