Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a child with a parent or parents other than the birth parents. Whether you are looking to adopt, putting your child up for adoption, parenting an adopted child, or just thinking about it, this is the place to discuss.

I'm over 20. I know both sets of parents. My problem is that they both "tell me" what to do. I know i'm old enough, but i feel like i need to show respect. I depend on them because i'm in college. And so both sets of parents help me out as much as they can which i'm very grateful for.
I am just confused. And i'm not sure how to handle this situation. Any ideas??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I would really appreciate hearing from you again.
In your heart you know what is right or wrong but the love that you have for both parents will over take you and you will find yourself trying to please everyone and sometimes lose who you are.
This is what happened to me and it was really hard.
Dooes this make more sense?
Do you feel like you could talk to them? Tell them how you feel? If not I get it...I can't really talk to my parents either...
i'm trying to find balance in this situation. and i just can't do it. i'm confused. i have no idea who to make more important, who t show more attention, etc.
I would take their advice and see how the advice "fits" in with Your life as well as what you are already thinking.
I am sure that both sets of parents understand you trying to find your way and that is probably why they are trying to give you advice.
It sounds like you do have a good relationship with all 4 of these people, so talk to them about how you are feeling and how their advice makes you feel. I am sure they will understand and support you.
Being the ones that raised you vs the ones that brought you into the world qualifies neither to give you the best advice.
Oh and, like someone else already said, do parents ever STOP giving you advice? They only do because they care :)
