IDL parents who are concerned with their children’s sex lives

As a parent, that is quite literally none of your business especially if your child is an adult. Like, as an adult woman, I do not want my parents to even think about me having sex. It just makes me so uncomfy and it feels kind of disrespectful and even objectifying in a way. I’m in my early 20s and I recently moved out on my own after living with my parents and prior to this I’ve never dated anyone. It’s not that I wasn’t allowed to, it’s that my parents are nosy asf and they would have been all up in my business and made things super awkward. Like I felt like I was starring in a nature documentary about young people and my boomer parents were watching on the edge of their seats to see what would happen and commentate on it so I didn’t give them much content. But I recently started seeing someone and I told my mom about it over the phone last week, and now this week she randomly said something about how I shouldn’t have sex especially because I’m not on birth control and I told her I’m not having sex, and that even if I was it’s none of her business. But yeah I just feel like that’s a boundary that parents shouldn’t cross.
