Would you go nc with your parents for this

I think if you move out and start living in the real world, you'll find that pretty minor things stop being major dramatic events in your head.

They want you to move out. Your Dad has the right to have peace and quiet in his retirement.

You've got a lot of growing up to do if you really think this is a reason to a NC with your parents.

Surely you can just say, actually I've taken on another project that I'll be working on from home on that day. It means you'd need to still keep out of their way but at least they won't resent you being in your room surely?
Definitely try and move out soon. Can you go in with a mate on a rental flat?
Your parents clearly want their own space which is fair enough. Not very kind but it's their right I suppose.

Because you are still in the house….i completly get your Dad …..just move out and give them some time to theirselves….you are 23 , you work….time to go

Wow!

So they brought you up, you live in their house and you want to go NC with them?

Yes, it’s does impact them. The difference between your dad hanging around the house and you hanging around it, is that it’s their house. They are doing you a favour by letting you stay.

If you want to be able to do what you want without thinking of the impact on other people, move out.

Agree with everyone else - silly and childish reaction. I also have to say I can see your dad's point about enjoying his own space during the day. He is entitled to that - it is his house and he is retired. Having someone else in that space can be annoying.

Also, are you considerate to live with? Do you tidy up, cook for your parents sometimes, help with cleaning the house etc?

Your dad sounds like a boring old fart. He has 5 days at home to himself. I love having the house to myself but I don't begrudge my own family being at home.

I would make plans to move out ASAP. I wouldn't go nc but I wouldn't be making a big effort to visit/contact them either.

Why is him not leaving the house considered a bad thing (by you) whereas you not having anywhere to go (and, thus, not leaving the house) just an expected thing? The fact that he doesn't leave the house is why your presence makes a difference (if he was out all day, he wouldn't notice that you were there).

Because having another person around, especially one who you’ve been responsible for for years, and possibly can’t quite relax around, is intrusive and slightly uncomfortable on a day that you typically spend alone.

You can move out or you can keep your work days as they were, but as an adult child living in your parent’s house you should be very aware that this is very often a set up that’s tolerated by parents and not enjoyed.

Edited to clarify that I love my dc and having them around, and they are welcome any time. I would prefer at this stage for them to have their own space (where there is no precedent for me to be the parent) and me to have mine.

I'm also interested to hear the backstory here.

How much do you contribute (not necessarily financially) to the household? Do you pull your weight with cooking, cleaning, household jobs? Do you and your parents live together like adults, or are you still very much a child in the relationship?

Your first thought was to spend your extra day off lounging around the house, is that your go to at evenings and weekends already?

Going NC is a massive overreaction and does suggest some immaturity tbh

Do you have many friends?

Also you can't exactly go no contact when living with them?

They want you to move out clearly.

Why are you still living at home at 23 in full time work?

Going NC over this is such an egotistical way to live your life.

Just say oh sorry I didn't think you'd mind. Smile sweetly and forget about it. Going NC for that is ridiculous.

Get a house share if can't afford your own place.

I would be hurt too tbh. My adult dcs are always welcome here.

So a possible thought from their perspective....they are happy having you live with them while you go out to work daily. What they do in the time you're not there has no impact on you and is none of your business. They are happy with the arrangement as they see it, are perhaps more protective of that time than you realise. You are a grown adult living in their space which can be alot for some people.
I presume you contribute to your cost of living, do they realise your input won't be affected?
I agree with pp that it's a sign to plan a move out. If your instinctive reaction to them disagreeing with a change to your lifestyle is to cut your parents out of your life I think you getting out in the world more and being wholly independent can only be of help to you.

Have you read the advice that’s been given to you on here? Because this response suggests that you haven’t

This is giving me huge lols.

Definitely time to move out OP. It's everything to do with your parents if you live in their house.

Just move out and live independently…🤷‍♀️

You don’t need to estrange them - that’s a complete over-reaction.

@Izzosaura - there is no need to quote the opening post before you reply. It is assumed your post is addressed to the OP. Imagine how long the thread would be if everyone quoted the full opening post before replying!

Grow up and move out, not necessarily in that order

You're over reacting.

It's not nice but it's certainly not something worth cutting contact over.
