Night time

[Musicman]

So everynight after I "go to bed" my parents will come in and "check on me." It's getting really annoying and I don't know how to get them to stop. Any ideas?

[Gandalf]

A good idea would be to politely just say to them that you are old enough to go to sleep on your own and would appreciate just a bit more privacy. :)

If you don't know how to say it, you could say something along the lines of: "Would you please stop checking on me after I go to bed, if anything's wrong I'll let you know" :)

They might ask why, so you could just make something up like it disturbs your sleep or that you're old enough to responsibly sleep without needing to be checked on. Just be polite but assertive.

Yes, what Ben said. Politely ask them to stop. Tell them you're old enough to not need to be checked on.

yea just be nice an say could you stop checking up on me when i go to bed i am old enough now i dont need you to check up on me

[TerryBerry622]

just kindly ask them to stop.
say that you are a big boy now and that you are ok
its instinct for some parents to continue doing this though. its quite common
they used to do this in my group home. I hated it.. it got really annoying.
but yeah just ask them to stop

[Kuurachan]

If they don`t stop when you ask them to, LOCK THE DOORS >:3 I...Don't think they would go so far as to break the door down just to check on you 0_o

I had to do this to try and get the staff to stop
but sadly didn't work. they called the cops on me

[Desuetude]

I know the feeling. My parents used to come in and say goodnight and I just got too old for it, with my dad I just said to him to stop doing it and he doesn't anymore. My mum still does but that's only because she thinks I'm up doing things and wants to check that I'm asleep which is also annoying because she wakes me up opening the door. If they don't listen ask them why you need to be checked on. You're older now and deserve more independence and responsibility even if that is the menial task of getting into bed they should grant you that or kids will never learn to grow up.

Remove the light bulb, hide under the bed - when they check to make sure you aren't fapping and notice you aren't there and try turn on the light to investigate say something in a really creepy voice like "are you afraid of the dark?"

[Fanta_Lover44]

Hey dude, just talk to them quitely and say something along the lines of please can you stop checking on me its slightly distracting, :) hope this helped

Add us sometime!

[Haydenn3]

Maybe do as others have said and suggest that it makes you feel like they dont trust you and downgrades you if you get me because they feel like they have to check on you try to joke around abit so its less awkward and i have no idea if im aloud to ask for an update but please do update us (ONLY IF ALOUD AND IS NOT AGAINST NY RULES ON THE SITE)

The best thing is just to explain politely that you are old enough and you thank them for caring enough to check up on you but you really would prefer if they didn't because you feel your old enough to let them know if you are needing them for whatever of if you feel ill.

Do you know why the check up on you. Is their a specific reason or do they just have a slight tendency to be a little over protective of you?

[Wanderer_]

Actually you should start checking on them just how they do
When they get mad say "it's not nice is it?"

Exactly this.

This isn't a good idea. All this will lead too is parents thinking you're a smart ass and really immature. They obviously are a little over protective or have a reason and polite explanation to them is better approach than acting like a bit a smart ass towards your parents.

They'll more likely leave you alone and respect you if you handle yourself in a mature manner when dealing with this situation.

I disagree and maturity is overrated anyway.
They are making him feel like they don't trust him, expect him to do wrong etc
That and really annoying him, it's fair to return the favour
