Would you go nc with your parents for this

Bit of an overreaction from you @giantcolouringbook But your parents do sound like they don't want you around much. Them fussing over you dropping from 5 days to 4 a week is weird. It's not like you have given up your job and are going to be sat on your arse all day.

Nasty to use phrase bitter old cows.and misogynistic

Ageist here and hard for young people to do these days.

Easier said than done these days

Move out first, then go NC for as long you need to. This is your decision. If they make you feel this way, then there is huge drip feed coming ( lol, as I learnt the term on here ) and you know that you are free to do as you wish

Go nc with people whose house you live in?
If you do, they should kick you out the same day.

It's time for you to find your own place, OP, for everyone's sake.

I would definitely not go NC, but I would feel differently about them. It's clear they prefer it to be just the two of them, sounds like they are becoming quite routine-like and quite rigid about it, so don't like the change in their day when you're not working. This happens to some older people, although I don't think they can be that old? Did you move out for uni and then move back in again? That can be a difficult transition, on both sides. Having an adult live with you is not the same as a child. A lot of 23 year olds cannot afford to rent, and won't necessarily even be approved without a guarantor, so I think parents do need to understand that. But I'd be looking at moving out if possible.

Since op is being so dramatic as to consider going NC over this, it think there’s a good chance her description of their reaction as ‘furious’ could also be a bit of dramatics.

Not having anywhere to go on that day...
you could join a nice gym with a spa and have a spa day every other Friday!
Or go to the nearest city to go shopping/ post Vinted parcels/visit museums,
Go and visit a friend for their lunch break near their work,

They are being slightly ridiculous, I can only assume that day is when they secretly hold a swingers party or they have form for being overbearing and controlling. That said, you can't really go NC as you appear to live in their house. If I were you I would bite my tongue ans work hard to find somewhere else to live.

Go nc for ANY reason that makes you feel hurt or uncomfortable

I think your parents might welcome you going NC tbh…

No need for all that drama. It's time to move out OP, and let your parents enjoy their own space.

😂😂

Agree.
I'd happily make myself scarce once day a week in exchange for cheap rent tho

No I wouldn't go NC - especially seeing as you're still living at home so can't go NC with your parents while living under the same roof. Agree with those saying that they clearly want you to move out. They should have had a proper conversation with you about that rather than taking the passive aggressive route, but it sounds like that's something you all do rather than actually discussing things and problem-solving together. It's not that weird for parents to want their own home back once their kids are full grown, and 23 is a decent age to move out. You'll have much more fun in a flatshare with people your own age. Good luck!

Thanks for your kind sharing.
My point of view still is though, (probably projecting again), that the OP didn't choose to be born into these circumstances.
So her daddy doesn't have to choose to behave like a pig, just because he can (for now).
Controversial, I know.

You just need to be a grown up and move out, they have obviously put up with you for a few years now, you sound quite spoilt. Going NC when it is you that is wrong is a bit extreme, your poor parents

I'm curious about why your immediate reaction is NC, rather than to ask why they feel this way, and have a conversation about what the problem is and best way forward might be? Is this a pattern for you - when you push loved ones away in case they reject you? This isn't meant to be patronising - could be something called anxious avoidant attachment.

I would use the extra day for some kind of work so I could afford to leave home, personally. Like an interesting side hustle or something that will teach you valuable skills. It doesn't sound like you're very welcome there and you'll probably have a better relationship once you've left.

Well, you need to move out. You can't go NC living in the same place.

Get packing those bags and embrace the world and adulthood.

I think you’ll get a bit of a one sided reaction to this post because a lot of mumsnet seem to think it’s normal to want your kids to move out asap and love to tell you how horrific they would have found still being at home at 23. I find that in reality most parents I know wouldn’t/don’t mind their children still being at home in their 20s (some may even enjoy having them around - shock horror!), plus it’s hard living on your own at that age with one wage so a lot of time it’s the only or at least the best option.

For what it’s worth OP I think your parents reaction is really horrible and I can understand why you feel the way you do. I wouldn’t go NC though, just try and accept that is how they feel and try not to be too upset about it. Hope you’re ok.

Is this tongue in cheek? If not you sound very dramatic and immature. Are your parents tired of this? No I would not go NC 😂 You need to move out (not in a huff), and live as an independent adult - their possible perception of you, as a dramatic, huffy, lazy arse, will then hopefully change and you will havw an improved relationship.
