Is it normal for my dad to be so intrusive?
Tl;dr: My dad wants to get involved a lot with us his children even though we are over 18.
So I've been struggling with this since always but didn't think it would still happen at my age, 19 y/o.
My parents are the kind that are worried about their kids and always giving them what they need. Until that, I think it's okay but behind that they are very overprotective*
My dad is always checking up on us: checking our last seen on Whatsapp to see when do we fall asleep, he used to sneak on our diaries (from my sister and I) (Once my mom told me he found it and read it and she hid it again... but I think they both read it and she acted like she was defending my privacity back then or something, I was like 13)
He wants us to always tell him what are we up to, what are we going to do or where are we going out even though most of the year we are studying on another city.
On those days they call us every single day to know about us (that may sound normal but they get crazy if we don't answer even uf we're just asleep or something, mostly my dad)
Today he entered into my room yellinh really mad because my last seen on Whatsapp was at 6 am and he though I fell asleep at that hour, when I just woke up randomly and checked my phone if I had any messages or something. Then it got into a discussion of why he was like that and our lack of strong character. Suddenly he brought up the topic
of money and school and how he could just stop giving it to us since we don't respect him?
I just came home for vacations and I just want to get back to school to not be with them anymore.
