I feel like I get treated young

I'm 19 and my parents are really over protective of me.
They won't let me go out at night (like around 10ish) and they never let me do anything with friends that they don't know.
They also don't let me drive anywhere fun. They won't let me drive down the shore (which is a 2 hour drive), and they won't let me drive down to the baseball stadium to watch our hometowns MLB team play with my friend. My mom wants to drive us down and come with me and my friend.
My problem is, kids in the area that are younger than me drive down the shore, and go tailgate at the stadium of our hometowns MLB home games. People that I know of that are 17 and 18 drive down the shore.
I don't understand why I can't do that!
I love my parents, but sometimes I want to have fun and just drive and go down the shore and other places.
How can I be able to drive where I want and have them be okay with it?

 

uh... tell them that youre 19.


then move out

 

If they're footing the bill, then you get stuck with their rules.

After 18 it is not longer a parents responsibility to financially support you. Technically their "job" is done, and you are now expected to act like a mature adult and pay your own way. If you can't do that, then expect mom and dad to still treat you like a kid.

If you want your freedom, earn it like the rest of us. Get a job, pay your own bills, car insurance, etc. and move out. And then you can do anything you want, or can afford to do after all the bills are paid.

 

Your an adult at 18, you can do anything you want. If they don't like it there is nothing they can do.

 

You are young.

 

You need to buy your own car.

 

Hahaha

Why didn't you move out as soon as you graduated?
Surely you had a friend to split rent?!
You put this on yourself man...

 

You're 19. And by the looks of that other thread you have no job. So why on earth would they let you drive their car anywhere on their gas, let alone two hours away?

 

My dad's family always treated me like I was a kid.

Until my dad died and they saw how I stepped up to the plate.

Give it time...they'll change their views when they see how responsible you can be

 

funny when I was 24 and home from the military, my mom wouldnt let me out of her sight, lol. Im 41 now and still within shouting distances. As well, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?? When you getting back kinda thing..

youll never outrun your parents unless you move a county or a state over.. Even then it might not be possible..

 

It's good that you're not a spoiled brat, stevie19.

Now try going by something other than "stevie".. My name is Stephen, and I haven't been called "stevie" since the crazy pediatric nurse that used to call me that when i was like 8

 

sounds like you need to get a job and move out...or maybe move in with a friend?
