Hello. Hingi lang ako ng advice on how can I slowly give my parents a sense of I'm not a kid anymore that needs looking out for 24/7.

Context: I am 25 and has a stable job. Always been a homebody and mommas boy. I live under my mom's roof kasi wfh naman for the convenience and I dont think kaya ko pa bumukod since I also pay for my sister's tuition fee. So earlier, I jokingly told my mom I booked a flight going to japan by myself kasi wala lang gusto ko lang. And as usual she lashed out. Ganito sya everytime I ask for permission to go out. Bakit daw nagbbook ako without her permission, I dont have any respect na ba etc. I retaliated with asking how old I am na ba? Does she realize na at her age back then she already had me? Then she asked back naman kanino ba raw ako nakatira. In which I replied, so do I have to move out first? Sabi nya subukan ko. Yung paglabas labas ko nga raw with nagpapaalam on the day itself nagagalit na raw sya. Magpaalam lang daw ako ng maayos. But the thing is, whenever I say I'll be going out, daming tanong san punta sino kasama ano oras uuwi anong gagawin bakit kailangan lumabas. Pag lalabas ako with friends she would always sound annoyed asking Oh lalabas ka nanaman kahit the last time I went out was 3 weeks ago na. Cant I just go out and spend time with people without reporting to you what I will be doing 24/7.

So ayun, just wanna ask some of you with strict parents, how do you manage. Kasi all my friends are free to do whatever they want and I kinda feel envious I feel like I'm sacrificing the connections I get to build because of this. Gets ko naman, her roof ofc her rules. Pero at the same time nakakasakal na. One time she cried sa sibling ko when I went to the office. Apparently di raw ako nagapaalam and just closed the gate when I clearly shouted aalis na ako. I had dinner with my friends that night then and apparently dapat pati yon pinapaalam.

Nakakaloka. Would appreciate your insights 🙏
