do you still live at home?
Yes coz I'm not yet married. But I'm contemplating about leaving my family if they still continue doing this. It's so annoying.

while you're living at home it can be virtually impossible to make a stand.

unless you are dependent on them financially, i would try to see if you can move out. although it may mean a period in the wilderness where they stop speaking to you for a bit of time. moving out of the city will be easier though than just moving out of the house while remaining local.

How was it? was it the best decision you've made in your life?

it was. i took off as soon as i could. i saw how it affected my brother and didn't want to stay a moment longer than i needed to. it took me a few years though to fight my way through the emotional and mental fog.

you have to remember though that in their mind they are doing the very best they know how for you. it's not that they are evil bastards, they don't wake up every morning thinking how can they make your life as difficult as possible but it is a different age and a different culture. they are just doing what they think is right to give you the best start and protect you the only way they know how.

You don't have to be married to leave home Bunny??

Most young people here leave around 18 to go to Uni and be independent

It's different here in the Philippines. Lol. But maybe I have to leave home as soon as possible. Can't stand my parents controlling my future. I honestly envy my siblings coz they get to choose whichever career they want to practice.

Oh Bunny

You are going to have to assert yourself

It's your life....not theirs
Thanks for the advice. I'm contacting my friend from another city asking her if I can live with her and find jobs there.
No problem Bunny.....try and put your plan into action


It has nothing to do with your parents which path you choose in life...

I was with a guy years ago who was dominated by his parents. His mother had decided before he was BORN that he was going to be an accountant. He was a gifted artist and guess what he became?.......an accountant.... I couldnt wait to get away from that family....my father called them the *Mafia* lol

He had no backbone at all and let them dictate his life choices


Sad
click to expand

OMG. I am a CPA and my mum chose that career for me. I wanted to be a banker/economist... not an accountant!

not really. i was fairly young so maybe stupidity paved the way. the longer you stay the harder it will be to break free. and you know, you quickly learn things, people help and you have all the skills already to do it. the hardest part is believing you can and embracing the unknown.

you can still get into banking. cpa is the same ball park (not really i know but closer than lion tamer). there is lot of time to change but realise that time goes by very quickly. you're 28 now? in a few months you'll be 30. do you still want to be in the same situation then?

it really was the best thing. i shudder to think where i would be now if i hadn't gone. i moved country. move city, stay with your friend but have some money saved up before you go. my father told me i would be back within 3 months. i never returned. the money i had kept me afloat while i overcame inertia and the slow start it always takes before momentum takes over. if you leave try your best not to go back, it will make things doubly harder to break free a second time.

Awww starlover, can you be my mum? At least here on DXP? 😛
😄...well i was in a past life remember?

I think loving means letting someone be happy, not making oneself happy by controlling them

Maybe you say that to your over controlling parents
click to expand

if they are anything like my parents then they will say loving someone and being a parent is guiding their child to do what is best (and morally right etc) and as they are firebunny's elders and parents they know far better than firebunny what that is.

you should listen to your parents. respect them, obey them and don't question them.

.....if your parents truly love you, they will raise you and guide you enough to make your own decisions when you become a man/woman

if you don't question your parents, you will never grow or become mature, you will always remain in the *child* state

As Bunny is discovering this is not healthy
my parents loved me, it didn't mean that they didn't insist i obey them and all their instructions well beyond the age of consent.

it's not a western culture. it's hard to explain if you don't understand how permeating their influence can (and to them, must) be.

What is it.with you virgo men and always asking FEMALE friends to help you out...
I was married to a Virgo man for a long time....he was the opposite...always helping others. I have always found Virgos to be very giving and not taking at all

Oh I know they're giving..but when they do ask it's always to a female is what I've seen.

My step sister falls in the same boat. 34 and still someone 'controlled' by my parents. She bitches about it all the time but never does anything about it.

YOLO.
That's the point. I'm 30 and still live at home. My parents feeds me plus I get an allowance. It's an awesome life.
30 and till at home— Which country do you live in?

Do you never want to grow up?

I live in the US. I'm happy with having my parents take care of me. It has its limitations, but having free living and food expenses is pretty awesome.

Nah. It's nice not having to worry about money. I wake up and theres food on the table. I don't have to cook, clean, etc. Not ready to let any of that go. The only downside is not having a GF. I have two hands that have served me well.

Technically speaking I'm 30 and still live at home. Maybe I live here with just me and my cousin but we certainly don't own the deeds to this place.
You live with your mum, tiz?
She doesn't live here. She moved out so I could move out of my apartment and move in here. Then my cousin moved in later. But we didn't pay for this place and we live here free. She could easily take it back anytime.
Living with your cousin is different to living with your mum, Tiz.....the guys that stay for years with theirs freak me out a bit

Chatting up a woman *I am in my 30s and still live with my mother*


Just, no

I suppose so. I was never on the dating scene so I never really had that dilemma. I don't know why people have hangups over the issue either way. People just have to do what's best for them regardless of how it looks to others.

...you shouldn't have needed to

A part of parenting is to let go of children and help them to become adults

I know of guys who still live with their mothers in their 40s and 50s

There is some weird dynamic where the mother wants to hold on to her son and thus rendering him dependent on her

Unhealthy
I hope my parents live until I'm in my 50s. My mom and dad have moderate to severe diabetes.

Both have the same illness?

Is it genetic.....are you at risk and if so, do you know how best to prevent it?
click to expand

Yeah, both have it. They got it later in life so I think it's type I. Anyway, they are both on insulin.

I know it has a lot to do with diet and exercise. Ands has been giving me tips on how to work out, so that is helping me lose some weight.

They keep telling me what to do!!! 😢
I just realized this guy is almost thirty. LMAO
Arab families are like this as well though, let's be honest. I remember when my friends and I were early 20s or so and we had a few who would hang with us in the evenings on Xbox and poker nights who were anywhere from 28-35ish. We looked up to them because they were driving S classes and 7 Series to go out to the club, but at the end of every night they still had to pick up the phone to their mother ringing or their father calling from abroad asking them if they were a doctor yet

Why would anyone want to be a doctor? They are stupid, evil, and push pills on you to make money.

Some of them even come up with crazy experiments to mess with your eyes. And they get you while you're young, too. It's crazy.

That's what I believe but unfortunately there's enough parents out there who do the opposite. Many condition their children to feel crippled without their dependency and guilt trip them into not becoming independent from them. It's horrible and unhealthy but blame the parents and their deep attachment issues.

If they're in their 40s and 50s living with their parents instead of their parents living with them (to take care of them through old age or whatnot), there is a MAJOR problem.
