For some context before I dive into this, yes my parents are paying my tuition and I do currently live with them. I’m also in community college and am planning to transfer to a 4 year after. Anyways, I’m nearing the end of my first year and my parents keep asking to see my grades like every week. I know this sounds stupid, but it has just brought so much stress upon myself. I have personal issues with trying to avoid conflict at all costs and this combined with sort of struggling with a hard class or two is bringing me lots of stress. Whenever I show my parents and they see an exam that didn’t go well or an assignment that I missed they go sort of crazy and go on and on about how I’m supposed to be an adult and be responsible. While yes in some way they are right, it’s not like they have to tell me for me to know. It’s like I’m being suffocated and not allowed to grow from how it was just a year ago in high school. I’ve been thinking of just confronting them and saying that I won’t share my grades but I’m also thinking about how they pay for my tuition and my living with them for free. I’m just not sure what to do.
