Yes, I know it’s weird, and it’s fucking infuriating too. But is it certainly “Call the Police” or “Move out ASAP” weird? I [17M, graduated 2 weeks ago] have my own room and my own bed, but my parents “love and miss their baby so much” that they haven’t allowed me to sleep in a bed that they’re not sharing with me. If I dare refuse, they treat it as if I’m a delinquent and threaten to “ground me”, AKA take my stuff (even the shit I bought and worked for) and refuse to let me leave the house. My mom works night shifts, so she sleeps during the day. Apparently she “misses her baby” and refers to me as her “pillow” so everyday, if I’m still at home, I’m required (yes, not even exaggerating, REQUIRED) to have my mom cuddle me till she sleeps, which can take up to 2 hours till she lets me leave. If I refuse she’ll guilt trip/insult me and then take my stuff and privileges. On another note, I’ve recently started noticing a couple months ago, they straight up refuse/choose to say my name anymore. It’s always fucking “Baby”, “B”, “Taba” (which means fat cause I was fat when I was 3 years old). It’s not even cute anymore, I’m a few weeks into becoming a grown ass adult. They say this shit in public and sometimes I hear my friends and even STRANGERS comment “That’s a baby?”

I can’t even look for a job, clean the house, clean the fishtank, or even choose my future career. But it’s not a matter of “I can’t”, it’s more like “I’m not allowed to” because, to my parents, “I’m still their little baby”. I’m taller than both of my parents, and they comment “Wow you’re a big boy now huh” and make me feel self conscious. Man FUCK.

Or maybe I’m just being an ungrateful brat who’s just hating on their parents.

Edit: Also just to be clear It’s not “sleeping” (as in sex) it’s just sleeping. Still weird tho

Update (6/20/2024): I finally got the courage to confront my parents. After around an hour of yelling, arguing, debating, and some guilt tripping, I managed to reach some sort of a compromise. After a couple weeks, all of that would only be reduced to only one night a week till I reach 18.

After that I get to finally sleep in my room 😭 it’s certainly NOT the conclusion I was hoping for, but slow motion is better than no motion 🤷‍♂️

Thank you, people that gave me advice, for giving me the confidence to finally stand up for my parents and making me see how undesirable the situation actually is

My plan afterwards is to work (after I reach 18) while I study for a year, then move into possibly an apartment (I live in Cali so the housing market is probably…you know)
