Need help in dealing with parents and privacy

<p>Yea lol i’ve seen people say fap online. id probably fall on the floor laughing if i heard someone say that in real life.</p>

<p>BTW, if your seed gets all over the place, you can always blame it on the ghost leaving its ectoplasmic trails all over the place.</p>

<p>^ LOL, ectoplasm!</p>

<p>On a serious note, they do not owe you privacy. They are still supporting you, and you are still living in their home. So just play along and soon you will be out.</p>

<p>easy solution = hammer + their kneecaps</p>

<p>lets see them try and walk in on you then ;)</p>

<p>Ditto what srose said - you may feel all grown up now that you’re ‘legally’ an adult, but between the fact that even when you’re 40 you’ll always be their baby, and the fact that you’re still relying on them for housing, food, and most likely that upcoming very pricey tuition, they really still kind of own you. The way modern American culture works, 18 is really not very grown up at all: I know it can be a pain, but you really should be grateful for their continuing support and care rather than ***<em>ed they “don’t respect your adulthood”… you’ve still got a lot of growing up to do over the next four years (and beyond, I assume, but having just graduated I can really only speak to how *young</em> y’all are as an incoming freshman, not how young I probably still am on the other side), and you are in <em>their</em> house and whatnot right now.</p>

<p>The mature thing to do would be to have a serious conversation about how embarrassing it is to be walked in on while… enjoying yourself… and to ask if there’s some sort of arrangement you can come to so that your needs are met while still allowing them to feel like they’re involved in your life. To get space while still having their support, you can’t just whine about how you’re all grown up so they should go away - over the next few months/years, you have to show them how you’re growing into a true adult, thoroughly and continuously enough they even they with their “still our baby” goggles on can’t miss it. It takes time to earn that sort of respect, and you really have to work to have an adult relationship with your parents… it doesn’t happen just because you had enough birthday. Earn it.</p>
