Hey guys, I recently just got out of a relationship, and moved back in with my parents. I havn't even really moved in with them, 95% of my stuff is chillin in their garage and the rest is in the house. I'm 20 now, and so far it appears that my parents are content with continuing to treat me like a 15 year old teenager that they need to keep track of. They need to know where I'm going, what I'm doing, and how long I'm going to be gone every time I leave, and if I just leave then they call my cell phone and leave voice mails if I don't. How can I get my parents to stop treating me like this?
Could use some advice

Get the 'for rent' newspaper classified ads. Circle a few promising ads and leave it out where mom will find it. Say nothing about it, and see if it affects how they treat you.
I remember having that problem too and they would always pull the "if you're under my roof you obey our rules and show us respect" statement.
In the end I just spoke to them directly and explained I am an adult and I need to feel my independence. I also told them that the way they treated me made me undermined as an adult. It worked out well. They had to adjust and there was a period where they tried hard to act cool, but it worked out in the end.

How about just telling them what you are doing and where you are going, it's not totally unreasonable?
You never get too old for your parents not to care. Be glad that someone gives a fk about you, even if it makes you feel like a kid... Let go of your ego. Deal with it and move on.
