Moved out to an apartment recently and I'm enjoying it a lot

Wow, the replies in this thread are made by a bunch of fscking idiots. "Stop whining, why do you care what your parents think?" You know, even when we move out, have a job, and are self-sufficient, some of us *do* still actually care what our parents think, since they're, you know, our parents... who raised us from birth and such. Maybe we don't care enough to change our lives (which the OP doesn't sound like he plans on doing), but I see nothing wrong with being a little miffed at parents who are impossible to impress/satisfy.

Bunch of holier-than-thou snappy fscks on this forum sometimes...

No, its called being independent. Whining about your parents when you are 27...yeah. Time to move out of the house mentally my friend.

Why is it impossible, by our logic, to be independent while still caring about your parents and their opinions?

Just roll with it. Not worth worrying about.

My aunt makes over 70k a year and has nothing to show for it. I dunno what she does with her money, but she certainly can't manage to hang onto it long enough to use it for anything. My point is that it's possible to make lots of money and still be a bum.

So you make decent money...What do you have to show for it?

If I was you I would just stop wasting energy worrying about it.

I had the same problem with my parents (I think most of us do.) I just don't answer the phone or when I do talk to them if the conversation starts to get negative I just tell them I don't have time for it. I like where I am at, I am happy and I am not going to let them bring me down to believe anything else.

Like you have said, you are happy and your parents have the problem. So why are you letting there problem become yours?

If you are making forward progress, then at 27 YO, you have every right to tell your parents to STFU. Maybe you don't say exactly that, but hopefully you get my drift.

When I was growing up, even though I come from an affluent family, my Dad always used to tell me, that what I did for a living was less important, than if I were happy. He said, I don't care if you collect trash for a living, if it makes you happy. The only demand he made, was no matter what I did, that I be one of the best at it.
