At what age did you parents stop worrying about you?

[Drummer Ben]

I'm 18 and my parents still worry about me every second of the day. They constantly need to know where I am and if I'm okay. Not trying to be rude to my parents but I kind of want to live my own life. Does it stop after you move out?

[ImCoolBeans]

My mom will never stop worrying about me, and yours likely won't either :P It's a parents job to worry about their kids, and it's not easy to stop when they turn 18. They can't just flip a switch and stop caring/worrying.

In the last few years my mom has gotten way more lenient with things, and I'm more or less allowed to do whatever I want, but don't really go against her out of respect. If they're still supporting you in most ways I think they have the right to inquire where you are, what you're doing, etc.

It may be a little frustrating sometimes, but you're on the brink of taking the wheel in your own life, and soon you'll be in control. They want to make sure that you're prepared to do it.

Eh well no Mom around Pa is awesome but he bugs me all the times and he cares a lot about us

[TroyH]

My mom doesn't constantly hover over me but definitely always tries to have an eye on what I'm up to. Once I went away to college though that obviously became pretty much impossible for her but she still texts me regularly when I'm at school.

Not sure if it ever stops. Parents are like that. I'm a teen and my mom still worries about me constantly. It's rlly annoying yet also a bit nice

[SethfromMI]

I hope my parents never stop being worried, for that is one of their ways to show they care. my parents trust me though to make the right decisions with my life

My parents are surprisingly lax as far as letting me do things. As long as I tell them, they are fine with it. There is a lot of mutual respect between me and my parents. They are awesome.

These are mines as well. They're very cool with everything, and agree with most of my decisions, but thanks to them I've learnt to take them, so they know I'm good to go. They care a lot, they do worry, but they hardly ever overdo it

[Karkat]

My mom will worry about me until her dying breath :P

[Babs]

Ehh, she never really worried about me too much. She just doesn't really care that much because she doesn't think I'll cause too much trouble. She's still worried about my older sister though.

[Typhlosion]

I've been 18 for half an year now and they still goddamn worry.

Which is esp. annoying when I have to send an email or two everyday just to say I'm fine.
Jeezus.

This pretty much summons up my parents. They trust me to make the right decision and ask me things to just to say they are there if I need help.

I don't think that parents stop worrying about their children until their dying days. I know my parents won't stop as loving as they are.

[twirlgurl]

Probably not until at least i move out. My sisters in college and i dont hear them worry about her much.

[conniption]

My mom's pretty cool and gives me quite a bit of freedom as long as I tell her beforehand what I'm gonna do and with who. She says she'll let me do my own thing when I turn 18, and I can't wait.

[amgb]

I don't think parents ever can just stop worrying about their kids (unless they're bad parents in which they don't care about their kids at all). But yeah I think it's natural for parents to worry about their kids all the time, because mine certainly do^^

[jssixna]

My mum has to know EVERYTHING that is happening in my life. It bugs me but I still love her. My dad doesn't question me as much but I'm closer to my mom. My mom asks me where I'm going and who with. She trusts me a lot to do the right thing. I don't like to let her down and her worrying about me makes me happy that she cares.

[cami]

i think parents never stop worrying about their children :P
of course some are more obsessive than others.

in my case, i started to have a lot more "freedom" when i turned 11 or 12.

your parents sound abit controlling by the time i was 13 my parents were just happy knowing what suburb i was in and kinda let me do what i wanted to do

[Cognizant]

Tbh my parents toned it down once they got divorced, which is the opposite reaction of what I expected. They still love me and ask how things are going for me, but they're not what I would consider overprotective - I can leave the house without question and I won't get punished for it (though my dad does call me to make sure I'm doing ok if I just randomly take off without saying where I'm going).
