You tards are just coming to make jokes to lighten up a thread about emotional things that you may have found yourself feeling, so you are both forgiven because boys are just like that.
Look at it like this: If we were to RETVRN to tradition, you'd be helping the fuck out of your parents until you die. Just help them dude. They won't be here forever.
Have you ever tried to help someone and you were so aure you had the solution but then it ends up more fucked than it was before? Your parents are probably sure that hounding you will work and they continue to double down on it because it worked for them when their parents did it. Parents are just people too. They don't have magical knowledge just because you survived to adulthood. They're doing what they know how to do and they're afraid of you ending up in need. They're not going to live forever and they know it. They want you to be successful, but they don't know what it takes to get there in today's world. You know they want the best for you.
I think telling them that you don't need much to be happy when they get onto you about this would be good. Letting them know that you prefer to keep life simple could make them think twice about bringing it up the next time.
Maybe you can tell them that you want to figure things out on your own and the best thing they can do for you is to let that play out. I think parents get afraid sometimes that their kids will never need their advice again, but you can assure them that you'll let them know when you need them.
Mama and papa want to love you the way you need to be loved, but they just don't know how. They try so hard but still miss the mark. Please be patient with them :hug_apu:
