what should i do about my parents? ?

my parents think that i am still a little kid. btw i am 23 years old. i donno if it ever happend in your family, but they think i dont care about my future. i go to school full time and i work overtime. iam almost the head of the family, but only when its the time for me to spend a little time for myself, then when the problem starts.( we are middle eastern btw). i cant talk to my parents with out argument. everything i say seems unreasonable to them. sometimes my dad leaves me while iam talking cause i think it doesnt make any sence for him. specially my mom thinks that i dont care about her anymore. i do everything only because of my family, and if iam home only 2 minutes later than when i should be home, then thats when the trobble starts. tell me what to do or show me a solution.

    They will treat you like a grown up when you start acting like one. Stop justifying your whereabouts. You are not a little kid but they have you checking in. Stop letting them get you upset. Stop the discussions. Say: I am sorry you feel that way, NOT I am sorry. Then walk away.

    You can be respectful while setting boundaries. They sound very manipulative and like they do not have your best interests in mind. Why does it matter to you what they think? You will never get their approval while you seek it.

    Why are you still living with your parents? No girl in her right mind would marry/date you while you are under your parents thumb. Stop putting them first and try putting yourself first. Kids are supposed to grow up, move out and make a life for themselves. You can visit!!
