So I (21F) am a full time college student living at home with my parents. As I got older I quickly realized my parents were pretty strict and a bit out of the ordinary compared to other people/parents. For example, once in eighth grade I was invited to go to universal studios with a friend and her family and then invited to a christmas party by someone else in the same group of friends that was happening the next day, but I had to pick only one because “that’s too many things to do in one weekend”. This type of behavior continued well into my senior year and only recently (past couple of years) calmed down but only because they know I don’t know anyone. And despite all this, they think they’re lenient because “other people don’t get these privileges” (aka they only ask where i’m going instead of grilling me) even though I know for a fact other people my age are allowed more freedoms. I’m not even allowed to spend the night away from home. They also don’t know the definition of space. Up until recently they refused to let me have my own bath towel and still think it’s selfish. And they literally NEVER leave the house. They both have worked from home my entire life and only go to the gym for an hour four times a week and the grocery store and that’s it. They don’t have friends and I have never seen them hang out with other people, and I almost feel like they’re against the idea of me hanging out with anyone besides family for long periods of time. After years of this, I’ve gotten really frustrated that they think it’s normal and that they’re “so lenient” so I flat out told them that the things they do aren’t normal and other parents are usually more lenient than this. Well this really pissed them off and they said that I’m wrong and I’m an AH to even have an issue with any of this especially them being home so much since I’m living under their roof that they pay the mortgage and water for. Which made me think maybe I was the AH for mentioning it but I just get tired of them thinking they’re so “easy” and not controlling as parents. So am I wrong and an AH?

EDIT// Had to add a few other oddities since people are flabbergasted. When I was a senior in high school (so 17) my friend invited me to a concert with her and her parents but my dad didn’t want to let me go because I had a cold and would get sicker and then “they’d have to deal with it/take care of me that night” which they hadn’t done for years at that point. I polished my nails once when like 14 or 15 a dark crimson/maroon and they made me take it off because the color was “too old” for me. Throughout high school I wasn’t allowed to wear jeans that were “too ripped” like some ripping was ok but just not too much??

EDIT/// Now I’m curious, do your guys parents have friends they hangout with regularly?
