At what age does your parents stop trying to run your life?
Answer:
I am 28 and my mother still tries to control my life. It gets worse when you have children, because that just gives them more to try to control. I guess parents will stop, when they can't talk anymore. Even when they die, they still find a way to run your life.
they dont you just got to live with it
You'll always be their baby, so there'll always be input, but usually when you move out, get a decent job, and start your own life. (When they feel that you can take care of yourself.)
132
I really don't ever think that they will stop trying to run your life. Iam 21 and my mom still tries to run mine. My mom is also going through the same thing by grandma.
I don't ever think that they stop. I think your parents think they are being helpful and doing it out of love but sometimes it is annoying.
You will eventually realize that they were just trying to do what is best for you, you may not realize that or feel that way now, but as you get older it will get more clear.
lol--when you are about 30--or when you move out of their house.
NEVER IT SEEMS - - - - 37 and still fighting it!
Never. But there comes a time when you thank them for their interest, and do what you know is best.
Though sometimes they're right. Usually right.
The day after you bury them, sorry
Once a parent always a parent!! We love our kids and never quit caring about them and want the best for them. Our son lives quite a distance away, but we still care about him very much! If it is truly more than you can bear, move away, and stay in touch but maybe that will help you feel better. Some parents over do it I know but most just love their kids so much, and it is a love that should never die!
Well, I am 38, about the graduate with a BSBA (finally), work, have a 12-year-old son, and a home, and just yesterday my mom tried to do that. I value her advice now, but I remember feeling so boxed in when I was younger. I struggled against it. Once I decided to go with the flow, she stopped doing it as much.
She loves me and just cannot help herself. It used to bother me, but now I just take it in stride. You know, sometimes she's actually right!!
I'll let you know when I get to that age--but I'm 29 and my mom still tries to tell me how to live my life.
never
I think when you are financially independent that's when parents can stop "running" your life. This includes living on your own, paying your own bills, and taking care of yourself. Parents should have a say in a child/adults life when they are still living under their roof. Not saying they should have total control but rules must be followed. Until the day comes when my child is self sufficient then I'll have a say in their life.
Run your life?...maybe they are just trying to be a part of your life and not run it.if so they will be a part of your life forever...maybe you can ask them to take a step back when you feel overpowered by them?
when you live under your own roof
As soon as they die and not a minute before!
Never.
Ever, ever, ever.
You're their baby. You will always be their baby.
Mom finally kinda butted out after my brother got married.
When you stop letting them. Assert your independence financially, emotionally, etc. Move out, get a job, take care of yourself. I would even stop calling and picking up the phone all the time. Limit calls to once a week. They'll get the hint. That's what I did.
Never at least until they die.
when you grow up
never...
when ever they die... or if you die first they stop then to.
Hate to say it but the day they die.
When they die
At 18!
They are going to try and run your life till the end so you might as well get use to it
they never do but its just because they care about you its not that don't trust you
Some never do, I think the age should be at least 20-21, let them live their life and learn their lessons and just be their for them when they need you.
