Me: *has uni classes, internships, and paid freelance work*
My parents: you’re an adult, we need you to contribute to the household now *adds chores, paperwork, solving maintenance problems, helping with family business*
My parents: you need to take care of yourself! Why don’t you sleep enough? Exercise should be your first priority! You should cook your own meals more, that would be healthier!
Me: *misses deadlines and has panic attacks because there are always things not getting done on time*
My parents: don’t snap at me! why are you stressed? just get the work done. if you got all your work done and exercised more you wouldn’t have depression and anxiety problems!
Me: could you maybe back off a teeny little bit
My parents: HOW DARE YOU we just want what’s BEST for you, we’ve been NOTHING BUT SUPPORTIVE, don’t put YOUR problems on ME *week-long passive aggressive fit of temper*
