My (18M) Parents found my girlfriend (F20) and I showering while we thought they weren’t home. Are they overreacting?
My girlfriend comes to visit for a few days every week while we’re on summer from college.
My parents set some rules for us such as not sleeping together, being in my bed together, and anything that falls in that realm. I personally think it’s ridiculous. My dad’s main concern is pregnancy but his rules only prevent us from sleeping or showering together, since not having sex in their house isn’t really preventable by them and comes down to trust.
Well we made the fatal mistake of showering together when we thought they were at work and they heard us talking in the shower.
They’re pissed and called me disrespectful, which i guess is true because i did break their rule. I still can’t help but feel like it’s ridiculous to be so intrusive into my life as an adult though.
When i tried to reason with them and apologize they just repeated that i constantly disobey them and disappoint them (They like to bring up my piercings). They expect me to have adult responsibilities but can’t fathom that I want adult freedoms.
I feel like i should also bring up that when other adults stay in our house like my aunt and uncle or their friends, they’re allowed to shower together and sleep together.
I just feel like their rules are unfair. Any thoughts?
