My parents don't want me visiting their house, what should I do?

Give them a break. We all deserve a break from people kids or not.

If ur sister and her kids are there all the time and u go there everyday I bet they do want a break! Who wants someone at their house 24/7 even if they are their kidsā€¦. Yā€™allā€™s grown they did their job and just want some piece and quiet sometimesā€¦. Get a jobā€¦ make friends with the neighborsā€¦. Somethingā€¦
No reason to be hurt over itā€¦

OMG pop the tit an be an adultā€‹:rofl::rofl::rofl: the shit this site posts cracks me up!!

Why is it as motherā€™s we ask others for space but when weā€™re asked to give space we get hurt? Give them a break. Learn to be alone. Went straight from momā€™s house to a husband. And too afraid to be aloneā€¦ you couldnā€™t dye your hair at home as that provides a mess in itself?

Maybe get a job so you arenā€™t so bored or take your mum out sometimes. He may just not want people in his house all the time but dont stop seeing your mum

She is your Mom. Take her out somewhere (coffee, lunch, walk at a park etc) and talk to her. The truth might sting from time to time but is not going to scar. A heart to heart with her and then come up with a plan & be respectful. I would not even mention your Sister at all, that is between them. Sending you bright healing blessings and good vibes

sounds like its all him not mom so call mom n take her out to lunch without s-dad n hell get his space ha

I would talk to your mom privately and see how she feels. Maybe she just wants a little space to herself for a bit. Or maybe she didnā€™t say anything at all. Better to talk to her directly. :heart:

Could you volunteer at your kidsā€™ school or at some local non-profits? Take some college courses at a community college (even if itā€™s not for credit)?

I would 100% be saying something to your mum. Just along the lines of 'hey mun if theres ever an issue, please know that i respect your feelings and you can talk to me yourself" type of thingā€¦
Your step dad sounds ridiculous saying that to you and then telling you not to tell your motherā€¦ like thereā€™s a chance he is doing it because its a but juch for your mum, but also he shoukd not be interfering in your motherā€™s relationship with youā€¦

I have two grown children and my daughter is over with her kids daily! I love her and my grand babies more than life itā€™s self but understand where they are coming from. I wish mine would limit the days she comes over. I work full time, baby sit while she works and have no time to my self. As we get older itā€™s much harder to keep up the house and kids.

I feel really sad for you! I canā€™t imagine this! My mom always has welcomed my son and I with open arms and my step dad as well. They would love it if we came all day everyday! Iā€™m sorry that heā€™s said that to you and that they feel this way. I would also talk to your mom about it because sounds like maybe your stepdad is just saying this because itā€™s how he feels not her!

As someone whoā€™s mom or dad would never, Iā€™m so sorry your feelings are hurt rn. Does your dad normally speak for your mom or do you guys have convos that are usually ā€œdonā€™t tell your momā€ worthy?

Sounds like he may be up to no good, especially not being able to ask your mom. I think daddy might have a playmate. Mention it to mom. My parents complain I donā€™t visit enough.

If your mom really said that he wouldnā€™t have said for you not to bring it up to her, he sounds like a narcissist not getting enough attention and heā€™s trying to isolate your mom from you. Let someone tell me not to see my mom lol, you were there first remember that, youā€™re HER baby remember that. No mother worth her salt ever wants her kids to be away from her, no matter the kids age. Donā€™t let him do this to your family!

This might be the unpopular opinion, but if youā€™re that bored maybe you should get it job? Maybe your mom wants some alone time and was too scared to tell you so your dad did?

Not trying to be the bad guy here, but maybe they just need a little alone time? Also, I have a sister whoā€™s constantly coloring her hair in my parentsā€™ bathroom & itā€™s completely ruined the walls, sink, towels, & multiple shower curtainsā€¦ maybe do that at your house & they might also be a little happier to have you over. Like I said, not trying to be rude, just trying to figure out what would make everyone happier in this situation.

TBH, your mom is probably tired and didnā€™t want to hurt your feelings because you seem VERY SENSITIVE.
See I got some questions:

  1. How many days a week are you there and for how many hours? Itā€™s seems like you like to be there while your husband is at work. So itā€™s safe to assume that youā€™re probably there most of the day.
  2. How many kids do you have and how old are they? Are taking care of the kids the whole time you are there or do you have your mom doing it? Before you leave do you clean up after yourselves?
  3. You said she keeps your sisterā€™s kid all of the time, does your sister work or go to school?
  4. Your current home makes you feel super unsafe, did you ever think about getting a job so you guys can move out of that situation faster? Maybe your mom would be willing to babysit or you can look into childcare.
    If you want to know how your mom feels just talk to her. Iā€™m almost certain if she told her side of the story it would be quite different.

When my parents were alive, if I didnā€™t visit on my days that I could they would be calling me and asking me if I was ok.

Definitely have a talk with your mom. Iā€™m not as close as you are but my mom would NEVER not want us to visit. She does request that we call or text before coming over to see if she is up for visitors but that is because she had horrible debilitating migraines from a neck injury. Please talk to your mom

Talk to your mom but also understand that if they do want some space itā€™s not because they donā€™t love you. Mabye they just want there home to themselves for a little while. Not all parents want there kids around all the time. Some parents want a empty nest once there kids move out. They donā€™t mind you visiting as long as you are not overstaying your welcome. It sounds to me like you may be over staying your welcome. Might need to find a hobby or get a job etc. They may want alone time or time just to walk around the house naked lmao.

Take a few deep breaths and remind yourself that this doesnā€™t mean your parents love you any less. If you need daytime stimulation, pick up some hobbies. Go hang out at Starbucks or the library. Get a part time job or volunteer somewhere. Nursing homes often welcome volunteers to visit residents with few visitors. Animal shelters, food banks, maybe even your childrenā€™s school. Join a gym or club where you can make new friends.

This isnā€™t actually about you. Itā€™s about your parents wanting time to themselves. Just roll with it and stop taking it so personally. A little space is healthy, thatā€™s all they are asking for. Donā€™t let your feelings get bigger than the situation warrants. They still love you and enjoy your company, they just need time apart too.

I think once parents have grown children and become empty nesters they enjoy that time, as they should theyā€™ve raised their children to live their own lives. Help is okay, as long as help is reciprocated. Also if she has your sisters kids sheā€™s mentally exhausted Iā€™m sure like we are as mothers. Iā€™d maybe limit your time to visiting once a week bc more than twice is a bit invasive in my opinion. Find things you enjoy to do while your husbandā€™s at work.

You are being rude if youā€™re going over to your momā€™s house unannounced,
to hang out EVERY DAY because youā€™re bored. If you want to spend time with your Mom, invite her out to lunch, go get mani pedicures with her, etc. This way she can accept the invitation or decline it and you arenā€™t imposing on her by being at her house daily expecting her to drop everything and entertain you. But I would talk to your Mom to better understand the situation, maybe itā€™s simply she would rather you call first, or wait later in the day, or limit the time to a few hours and not all day etc

Talk to your mum about it. It should come from her no one else if she doesnā€™t want you there as much.

I totally understand how hurt you are. Did you ask him why he felt they needed a break? They might be having personal issues that they need to iron out and it might be easier to do so without an audience. Taking care of a child full time when their own children are full grown can be exhausting and stressful. Give them a few days and in that time you can put your feelings into perspective. Perhaps you can work out a visiting schedule that everyone can agree on.

Talk to your mother!!! Do not listen to him. He is a stepdad

Just respect them. I understand because I too would go to my Momā€™s house out of boredom and to get out of the house but it is her house and she deserves her own privacy. No need to be upset. They (parents) spend 18-25 years raising kids and having them at their homes, to look forward to having their home and their own ā€œmeā€ time. Try making plans and asking for a time thatā€™s good for them.

Ask your mom what she thinks about you coming over, then let her know what your step-dad said. I have a feeling there might be reasons for him saying what he said, for example I would say no to my daughters coloring their hair at my house. Hair dye can and has ruined counters, towels, etc.

If you are old enough to have kids, you donā€™t need to visit your parents so often. Some people live hundreds of miles from parents and do fine!
Call her every couple days to just talk,and set up one day a week to visit.
If she taking care of your sisterā€™s children, she might be getting over tired.Think of how old they are, maybe you could help by watching your sisterā€™s kids one day of the week, just to be a thoughtful kind sister,daughter. ā—‡

Just not go visit and then when/ if mom calls to ask why you havenā€™t been visiting, tell her what was said.
If she doesnā€™t ask, then youā€™ll have your answer on whether she knew or not.
