Do your parents still talk down to you even though you are an Adult?

Update:

@Christy. I never said my parents spoke down to me. Yes I have a daughter. So a big thumbs down for your answer

    mine do, even more now that im an adult actually because they still want to control me but know they cant, most parents do it because they care and theyre just looking out for you and to you it seems like theyre looking down at you, but for others they actually are

    I'm 26 and I wouldnt say my parents talk down to me but i do feel patronized by them quite a lot. Im a lot more worldly than they think, and they moved 4 hours away years ago so ive fended for myself for a while now. They probably dont mean to, but it does feel like they think im 17 still sometimes.

    Some people think parents are talking down to you but they're not. They're just looking out for you, making sure you make the right decisions.

    You'll always be their child so they will always look out for you.

  • Thats normal. parents have to look out for their kids. am guessing you dont have kids. when you do you will understand
