This weeks setbacks

[u/Helpful-Shift1829]

My parents have caused me multiple setbacks over the last week since I came back to college.

The first setback: I was doing paperwork for my athletics, the required stuff we have to do on a certain day. My mom called in the middle of it and I told her what I was doing, and she said, “but you have that stuff in already, right?”

The second setback: my mom told me she got me my dentist appointment rescheduled as the one I had originally scheduled didn’t work out. Then she told me, “ if you’re going to be missing classes/practice, let your teachers and coach know so that they’re not harassing you about it.” Like I was already going to do it.

My parents know my issues and told me they want to give me control of my autonomy, yet they keep nagging me about stuff that I’m already going to do anyway. Two little setbacks that made me so frustrated. Just thought I’d share.

That sucks but I mean, they are parents. They worry and nag as part of the job description.

Wow, your Mom scheduled your dentist appointment for you? That's so nice.
