Why do my parents have to bother me when I am sleeping?

I can't stand how my parents bother me when I am sleeping. Mom asked me if I was going to be out of the house and tells me to my close down. Stupid enough to bother when I was a sleep. My dad comes in telling me that it is going to be bad weather and also says that we are just under the Tornado watch. Tells me when it ever hits go down to the basement. Which he thinks I didn't know that when I already knew it anyways. He just told just watch for it. But honestly should I be bothered by that when I am trying to sleep. I tried to get back to sleep. But I couldn't since I have been bothered from sleeping. I know that it is so rude to bother someone when they are trying to sleep. They don't get it when I really do want to sleep. I know that they love me. They are really way overprotected of me. But I am not a child. There are times when they do treat me like a child. I am a 30 yr. old adult that knows what to do already. I know that I am old enough to live without my parents. But I still live with them. My parents also tells me not to cook anything on the stove that I could cause a fire. I think that is dumb when I wouldn't cause no fire. I would turn the stove off before that ever happens. Way way way overly protective. I can't stand it anymore. That is different thing from sleeping. Sorry about that. But how can you stop your parents from bothering you a while you are trying to get sleep. What should I do about that? Help me.

I think parents have a hard time letting go. It is hard for them to accept that there little boy is a grown man now. My parents are the same way, it used to really bother me, until I had kids of my own. My daughter is nine, and it is so hard to let her make her own decisions. I have to remind myself to back off constantly. Your parents probably love you very much. Enjoy them while they are here. Life is short. I hope this helped a little.
Get some sleep!

Dear ahestand,
You said you were 30 years old and still at home...well that could be the problem. Maybe they are trying to bug you enough so you'll move out. Give your parents a break and find another place to live...this is natural progression. You have no right to complain if you don't like it leave (right!!) In stead of walking into your room they would call you...that way you can leave it for the answering machine or just shut off your phone at night. That's what a 30 year old should do. If you have a disability of some type and are afraid to be on your own then there are group homes and other arrangements you can make.
Sue...good luck

You wantto be treated like an adult, so why don't you act like one? Sorry for the harsh words, but what's the use in complaining about your situation instead of doing something to change it? This isn't a very mature approach on the situation. Now, of course it is different if you have a handicap or are not able to support yourself on your own for whatever reason- I'm sorry if this is the case. If that's the situation, the best you can do is to sit them down and explain that while you are dependent on them for a place to live- that is pretty much it. You are a capable and intelligent human being, tell them you find it condescending when they disturb you for things that you can figure out on your own.
Parents are parents are parents. As long as you are under their roof, they see you as their child and someone who needs to be looked after. Try to humor them, but you can draw some boundaries if you talk to them about how much it bothers you.
