What do you guys think about my mom's opinion on me not being home as much?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) August 6th, 2012

I’m 23, I’ve worked for my parents for 10 years, I’m home 2–3 times a week, I see them almost every day whether I am at work or not. I might also add that I’m Asian. Here, it is common for Asians to live with their parents until marriage or whenever they feel like they are ready. I know it may sound odd to you guys, but it’s how it is in our culture.

Anyways, I have a boyfriend. Most times I stay at his place and sleep over there. It’s also easier because when it’s late at night I don’t feel like driving home so I stay there.

My sisters told me that my mom told them that I didn’t love her anymore because I stay at my boyfriend’s house. Just now as I was sitting in the living room with my dad I hear my mom talking bad about me how I always go UPSTAIRS to my room when I’m home. My dad was confused and said, “Umm…our daughter’s right here next to me.” She didn’t know I was in the room.

My dad doesn’t seem upset but my mom seems to be really sensitive about it. She doesn’t complain about my brother never being home and being with his girlfriend. All my sisters do not live with us anymore. She only complains about me. What’s she going to do when I decide to move out? I already see them almost every day but she wants me to stay home and not be at my boyfriend’s house. I think it mostly has to do with me being a girl and not married. Also, I kinda think she’s a little sad because I might be growing up? I don’t know. My dad takes it as “She’s grown now” whereas my mom still tries to set rules and doesn’t want me to date.

When I graduate and find a good job I plan to move out. I love my parents but I’m starting to notice as I get older the more we kind of clash on how we clean things, do things like cook, what I wear, what I do, etc. lol
