Not the asshole. You’re an adult now. You get to make your own choices now and you seem like someone who is responsible enough to make them. Your parents need to understand that, and I think the distance from them will help with that. Just live your life on campus the way you want. Don’t let them ruin your youth for arbitrary reasons.
I must add they have my location so I just showed I was at my dorm and I had called them that day earlier, and they’re against hanging out “late” outside of campus for like almost a majority of times and will call me dozens of times and ruin the experience. This was also my first concert ever and I wanted to enjoy It.
Not the asshole. You need to figure out life on your own that works for you. You’re gonna make mistakes and fuck up sometimes and that’s OKAY. It’s part of learning to be an adult. Your parents are actually being the least supportive of you being in school as possible. If you’re a good noodle, not going partying, and try to stay in a concert isn’t anything bad. But also maybe try to communicate with them and try to get on common ground.
Like others said you’re an adult now and college is a time to grow, be more I independent and make your own choices. What they did was completely unnecessary. As an RA parents are not supposed to call us and 30+ calls is unreasonable. You did nothing wrong and you should have a conversation around your new boundaries with your parents bc you should be able to go out, hang out on the weekends if you choose to without them calling you
Yes echoing the others- This is simply not okay. Even if you did some of the things you mentioned that you don’t do: as an adult that’s your choice and of your own volition. Your parents can make their judgements or have feelings but if you are 18+ you have autonomy over yourself. I’m not saying to act crazy or anything but it’s totally fine to hangout with friends past midnight from time to time, go to a concert, as long as you’re not doing things that are going to hurt you in the long run.
I had parents like this in high school and the transition to college was really difficult at first because they were constantly tracking my location and making me feel guilty. Eventually I had to set hard limits with them which lead to some arguments but life has been SO much better. I share exciting things with them but don’t worry about them making me feel guilty or judging me 24/7. I know how difficult and frustrating it can be, sending you encouragement and hoping there’s a balance soon ❤️
I’m sure your parents are helping you financially with college which makes it hard to ignore their helicopter behavior. However set a boundary that as long as your grades are ok, you have the freedom to go do what you want and they can’t call you more than twice in an hour or something. College is the best time to explore and hang out and have some fun (within reason) and yr parents need some new rules so you can enjoy yourself
ohhh I’m so stupid I’ve been thinking about it wrong the whole time :( but the reason I got into this mess is bc I didn’t pick up my phone so I was trying to find a solution where I could still have my number like maybe using another Apple device? idk but lowkey this could be a good short term solution
