To think this level of scrutiny and control in my parents is crazy

[Almosttt30]

I moved out of my parents house at 18. Never lived there since but I go back regularly.

They've always been strict and controlled what I did but now I'm almost 30 it's becoming absurd.

So a few examples within the last few days:

I bought a new deodorant and my parents kept commenting that they didn't want me using it in the house as it makes a 'horrible scented smell'.

There's no privacy. I have no lock on my door. My parents will knock once and if I don't answer will just come in anyway. This upsets mess I feel it means a lack of privacy for me.

I have nail varnish on and my dad explains that he doesn't see he point of nail varnish as it looks ugly

I am on strict instructions that I mustn't charge my phone overnight as it's dangerous. I can't go downstairs after 11 o clock as my Dad has 'prepared the house for the night'.

My Dad can't get to sleep when there's noise so I can't make noise after 11pm.

I don't wear make up as my parents hate how it looks and while they don't comment on it you can just see them staring in disgust.

They love me and I do miss them when I'm away but they are very set in their waves and it feels like anything remotely different they comment on negatively.

AIBU to think these examples sound controlling?

Buy a portable phone charger then you can charge anywhere. Ignore comments about makeup. It is their house, so unfortunately their rules. I don't think that they will ever change. If things annoy you it's probably a case of putting up or visit less

Sounds like they are treating you like a teenager tbh. I noticed the same when I'd be round my folks, people have the tendency to just fall right back into their old roles.
Fortunately my parents were a little less uptight, and dare I say less boring than yours! My father was obsessed with me hurting myself, for example warning me the hob, I'd just watched him use, was hot, as if I'd not worked this out at the age of 34.
Try not to let it get to you x

Also I second what birthday said!

I am 60 next year and occasionally go and stay with my parents (late 80s) - yes, they have some bizarre 'house rules' but I am their guest so happy to accept them .

About - my Dad (87) is really caring about me too, I made the mistake of saying I would be getting up early for a 7am train and he insisted on getting up with me, driving me to the station in his pyjamas so I didn't have to do a seven minute walk .
