Why do parents always control your life no matter how old you get? im almost 18 and i still cant choose?

Because they believe they know better and are just trying to aid their children in the ';correct'; direction.Why do parents always control your life no matter how old you get? im almost 18 and i still cant choose?
Maybe it is time to move out then ?





If you stay under their roof then you should live by their rules.Why do parents always control your life no matter how old you get? im almost 18 and i still cant choose?

well it'll only be a few months more, and then you will be able to choose.
Maybe if you didn't live under their roof
've been married seven years and out of the house 8 and they still try. just take their comments with grace and consideration and do what you have to.
Sorry but 17 is not old enough yet to control your own life. Until you can support yourself financially your parents will have a direct say in your affairs so get over it and be glad they care enough to want a say.
because they are your parents they care for you all they want is to see you living a good life.
At 18 you are entitled to move out, support yourself, and control your own life.





But, please consider that your parents are *probably* still trying to have so much influence over you because they care about what happens to you. You don't say much about it, so it's hard to guess with certainty what's going on with them. LOTS of people don't have that, and have parents that want nothing more than to kick their kids out when they turn 18.





At 18, you know a lot, but at ANY age, you still don't know everything. Your parents probably want to help make your life as mistake-free as possible. You don't have to always make your own mistakes, and some mistakes last a lifetime. At 18, that's a long time to live with a mistake.





They may come across as controlling and angry because they are afraid of not getting through to you. You do have the right to decide for yourself now, after all.
i know! im not 18, im just 16, but im the youngest and im NEVER gonna grow up for them... srry..life kinda sucks
Give your parents a break. They have been responsible for you since birth and they will always be there for you no matter what. No matter how many poor choices you make in your life, they will be there. You are also under their roof, so of course, they get to make the decisions.
Maybe its time to move out and start college ?
You're almost 18? So you're not 18. Ask again when you're 18.





However, parents may still control when you're 18 and even older if you are reliant on them. If you want control out of the hands of your parents, you will need to have your own resources: income, transportation (that includes car insurance, car payments, car repairs, registration, inspection and gas money if you have a car), housing (which includes rent and sometimes taxes, plus electric bills, gas bills, phone bills, cable bills, maintenance), and stuff like that. If you go to college, you'll also need to be paying your own tuition or doing student loans.





And even then, even if they can't control, they will meddle in affairs. What to do about that? Nobody knows.
It's not something that is given..., you have to take it!
