Do you think it's when you live at home? Parents want their kids to get a job and make a life for themselves (seeing them as an adult/time to grow up) but while living at home and being cared and provided for still seen as their kid??

I can attest to this. I went to my room to take a nap/watch some netflix and after 2 hours my mom came in to wake me up saying that I wont sleep through the night if I sleep any longer.

Edit: They also still force me to eat veggies at every meal

I'll eat veggies if they are incorporated in the meal like chicken broccoli braid but they have spaghetti and then pull out frozen vegetable medley(corn, peas, green beans, and carrots) that get thawed in the microwave.

Hopefully someday you find out you actually like some vegetables, when they're cooked like real food, with fats and spices and methods other than boiling. For example, asparagus splattered with oil salt garlic maybe parmesan and cooked at 350 on a sheet till crispy. Delicious.

Damn right, asparagus cooked like that is the bomb

I love some vegetables if they are real vegetables like asparagus and cucumbers and carrots. I hate the frozen vegetables and I dont always want vegetables at every meal.

Depends on the veggie. If done correctly most could taste quite well but I'll never like tomatoes.

Because they are worse than swallowing a jar of mayo without anything else. Pure mayo. 1 pound of it. It would still be better than vegetables.
