Parents disabling wifi even though I’m an adult
Ever since I started going to college, everytime, I go home, they always turn it off past 10pm.
I know I’m kinda a loser but it really annoys me. It’s not that big of deal when I go home a weekend and they do this, but now it’s my 3rd year and they still do this.
Recently, they changed the WiFi password to stop me from using it. They claimed it was because I was playing video games and eating all the bandwidth which is just false. My own computer shows that I use 90% of the bandwidth on google chrome and 9% on background systems with the rest of the 1% just misc apps. The only video game I have on my computer is Minecraft that ironically doesnt need wifi.
So I just started going to the library every day instead to use the wifi. However, theyre planning to cancel my phone plan too because they say Ive been using way too much data. I mean hey if you disable the internet, the only way I can access it is through mobile data. They also think I’m playing video games on my phone but I don’t even have games on my phone…
I’m tired of this. You’re probably wondering why I bothered going home if I was restricted like this. I was gonna work part time near my college but the place I was renting suddenly had to kick everyone out and I figured I rather save 2 months rent and go back home, and now I don’t know if I can take this anymore.
It’s not even just about being a bum and needing internet for entertainment. I can’t even do real work or real study that I would need for the future and my parents wonder why I’m such a loser. They try their best to make me shut out from the world and don’t even bother supporting me. They don’t even believe it when I say it’s not from video games. Like genuinely what do they want me to do with no internet? Just sit at my table and do nothing? I’m not a kid anymore . I’m not always gonna be chronically online but I do need to use it to check school stuff and find potential jobs and maybe just practice programming and such.
Sorry this was a really bad rant. But I’m always reminded why I hate being at home. This isn’t the only reason why I hate it here. I have way worse issues with my parents, more so my dad that I gave up on trying to resolve.
Edit: My dad just said he plans to cut it by tomorrow, and he says he knows I wouldn’t return if I didn’t have to. Which is somewhat true, but I’m just baffled by how he doesn’t understand why I hate going back so much. He keeps talking about how you should care abt family first and you should want to go home, but why would I want to go home to get yelled at, no internet, and not respected. The only good thing about being at home is I don’t really use any money and I don’t have to make my own food, which isn’t really a plus to me.
