I feel you Heave, its like they feel they are entitled to know everything! Every freaking detail...

I also get the 'what are you doing?' while I'm on the computer. Yours are belching? I have to deal with ungodly farting so I'll gladly trade you on that one....
They give all kinds of unasked for advice that goes way over the line and by now I'm convinced my parents are certifiably insane!

Moving at the end of this month, thank god, I live way too close to them right now. It is truly unbearable.

At least he didn't catch you rubbing one out.

Snap the fuck out of it.

Big hugs to you. I could never live with my parents. I go insane after two days visiting them. It will help you when you are a parent. Ya just what you wanted to hear. But I have my youngest son and his wife living with me in an apartment connected to my house. I try so hard to stay out of their business. My son even uses my computer in my room sometimes, he likes to show me basketball cards that he is interested in.

Please enjoy your parents while you still have them. Thats all I'm going to say. Peace

My sister told me this morning that our Mom made a comment about my new DS friends. She told her until she can actually meet some of them she will just have to pray for me. Hahaha...she hates not having some control. Note to self...never introduce anyone to my parents EVER.

Maybe he's bored...interested...loves you? I know it's driving you crazy but maybe you can get some kind of wireless connection and work on your computer in your room for a little while every day for some private time? I about went nuts when I lived with my parents for a few years in my 20s...but they would do anything in the world for me (even provide a grown woman with 2 kids a place to live while her husband worked in another state). I simply went off to my room for a little while anytime I felt they were getting in my space and reminded myself that they only love me and want to know EVERYTHING about me! LOL.

My fiance just told my daughter the other day that he can never see or talk to his mother again so she should treasure any time she has with me. I know it's hard to think about it when they are driving you crazy but who else is going to love us unconditionally (for the most part) besides our parents!?

My grandmother was like that.

If she peeked over my shoulder I'd minimize what I had open and ask her "Can I help you with something?"

She was VERY nosey.

You might have to let them know, "Dad, I'm an adult and I need to be allowed some privacy."

Dude, i've been living with the folks for over a year and I so know how it is. I have a goal now of March 1st. IMO, 30+ year olds shouldn't be living with mom and dad more than they HAVE to. It's ok until you get on your feet, but for me..that's it. I crave privacy and I crave being able to not have to answer to people at the age of 31.

I think that when you move out for any length of time, you develope your own ways of doing things, your own spacial relations, your own routines, your own cleaning habits, etc. And so do your parents, not to mention that when you moved out, they were maybe in their early fifties, and now they are in their sixties. Different times, friends.

When you suddenly are back in the fold, here's what I've seen: Your parents don't know any better than you on how to handle an adult suddenly living with them. So, they revert to the way things were BEFORE you moved out. When all these things didn't bother you, you probably didn't notice them at all. I do spend a few days here and there with my parents at the lake house, and my Dad follows me everywhere. Heck, I work for him, so he does that here too.

But honestly - I thank GOD everyday that I have them, and love them with all my heart. I'd say give them some slack, they are suddenly readjusting to a grown person in their space. They love ya, happy to see ya, but in their heads, and yours, is "????".

Oh, and they can be annoying (I am sure you can annoy them as well) but they are helping you out until you get your life straight. You just have to be annoyed for a while and just grit your teeth. :)

I agree with some of the ideas expressed here, however, my father is now doing things that he didn't do when I was younger. He use to respect my space better, not BELCH while eating at the table, and he fusses at my mom or I and expects us to do everything his way. He was never like this before.

My father and I are very close but he has changed in the last six months. I am wondering how much the development of sugar diabetes is effecting him some too.

I can't wait until I can get a new job so I can go back to my normal life!

Perhaps it's his way of ensuring you leave as soon as possible. Not saying he doesn't love you but, maybe he was used to getting it on in the living room everynight with his wife..

My kids do that to me when they are home. I get a laugh out of it.

I agree, we need to appreciate our parents while we still have them. I truly from my heart appreciate how they have helped me through this difficult time. Lets not forget that.

True....I have been trying, along with my mom, to get my dad to start excercising more and doing things for himself. I do worry about him because he isn't taking care of his blood sugar issues. I also feel that he suffers from seasonal depression but he won't listen to anyone or get any help. Ack! How come you can't help the ones that you love?
