    I dunno. My parents are protective of me because they love me and want what's best. I'm 16, but they do let me go out with friends and stuff. I wouldn't say that my parents are "overprotective", but they do like to know where I'm going and what I'll be doing there and with who. You know, normal parent things. And I agree with the post above me - as long as you're in their house, it's their rules.

    If you were an immature little whiny teenager then I would say get over it. But by 20 it's gets to be too much. Moving out might be the best thing.

    Although paying for everything by yourself..that part, not fun.

    While I agree, your parents house means your parents rules, lets not be silly. If you are responsible and pulling your own weight (paying rent, helping around the house) your parents should respect you. If this isn't happening for reasons on either side of the fence, strike out on your own.

    James by 'But by 20 it's gets to be too much.' I meant that the parents trying to control her every move is too much, not the cost.

    I know it's frustrating but it's all because they are afraid to lose us. Once they know that we are on their side and that we will never emotionally leave them they will back away.
    All you need to do is talk to them and reasure them that you love them and will always be their kid.

    Move out. When you live with your rents, what do you expect? They are your parents they still look at you as if you are 8. Move in with a buddy or something. I mean really, you are 20 :)

    Wow. I'm 16 and my parents are the same way. I'm counting down the months until I turn 17 and can move out.

    I don't see how you are 20 and STILL dealing with that. I feel for you, I really do. If you wanna talk or anything just pm me. I'll be happy to help if I can. (:

    Well..my parents r the most overprotecting parents ever!!
    BUT i beleive that the key is trust..if u can gain their trust then problem solved..and its always better if they hav an idea abt ur bf than "finding out"..ofcourse they do so coz they care, no doubt..my parents always "find out" things abt my old sis and so they watch every step she's stepping which sucks!!..they dont believe her easily..but i always try 2 give my mom ideas abt wats goin on in college and i actually introduced her to my love as a "colleague" and so she has the feeling that she knows wat am doin and that there is no need to worry..a little relationship with them won't hurt..gain their trust..that's all!!

    My mum has always been overprotective of me and it used to sh*t me off but I've got 7 month old daughter and I can see it from her point now. Although my daughters only a bub I keep thinking to future and Im scared of wat she could get up to. I would never go through her ph though. I would let her make her own choices but I would just try an educate her on life. I think 20 years old is a bit far fetched till still being an overbearing parent. They need to let go......................I dont know how your going to figure this out, I guess you might just have to find out how to communicate to them about it. Im 22 and my mum still asks where im going etc but i just repeating that Im an adult and a mum and shes slowly letting up. I hope you figure it out with your parents though.
