Adult Man in his mid-20s w/parents who are entitled to location tracking.

I had to move out of my parents' place last year because I am at the age where I want more independence. They were starting to control how I spent my free time, since I wasn't progressing as fast in my career as they wanted me to.

Anyway, I am a grown man in my mid-20s who lives on his own & financially responsible for everything except my phone bill. What bothers me is how my parents think they are entitled to track my location. My other set of parents and friends are fine; they don't monitor where I am. My mom says she is worried about me a lot, and I think it's because I don't follow their preferred bedtime routine. I need my full autonomy. She mentions too much in text, oh I see you're here, or I see you made it home now. When I confronted her about it, I said, "I am not going to share my location anymore." She replied, "Well, it shouldn't be an issue if you're not doing anything you're not supposed to be doing." Very vague. Then I told her, " Well, I'll get my own phone plan, and then I am not obligated to share." She then said, "I'll have to ask your stepdad."

He's pretty controlling and manipulative of her at times, so I think this is her subconscious response. I will get my own phone plan once I find a more stable job, but this is ridiculous, right?

Mom continuosly asking for money!

I am married M, and pay a homeloan EMI for my parents' apartment. On top of that, they are doing some interior work in the apartment before moving in and I'm having to help out there as well.

I have to pay a monthly amount to my father because they had to take out money from his retirement savings for my marriage.

I have also been paying the maintenance charges of this new apartment.

Apart for the above, I have to pay the monthly bills of my mom's credit card.

Now, before a major festival, mom is asking me to send money to random relatives just so that she can maintain her image in from of them. 😭😭

Why tf is it crazy to want to live alone out in the future? 25f

So I literally will mention that I would like to eventually like to live alone cuz I’m 25 already and my mom would start getting passive aggressive and saying she’ll start looking for apartments right now cuz in a few years she’ll be too old. Wtf? Why is it crazy to want to be independent eventually??? I didn’t even tell her to move out rn. Just crazy how we can’t even have a discussion. Am I crazy here?
