Do I need to tell my parents everywhere I go?

Does your mother hear you when you ask her for advice?
“It doesn’t matter how old you get, your mother doesn’t hear you asking her for advice. Nor does she understand you’re just sharing what’s going on in your life with her.

What to do when your mother crosses the line?
5) Declare your boundaries: If your mother crosses the line and will not relent, make it clear that while you appreciate her advice, you’re an adult and are perfectly capable of handling the situation on your own.

Should you stop asking your parents for advice?

How do I convince my parents to let me go out?
Try to barter and keep it at a level that they will be comfortable with. If your parents don’t want you hanging around with the opposite sex (which is another issue, but relevant), assure them that there will be a lot of people going. If they don’t like you being out past a certain hour, see a movie and be back before that time.
