Why do parents criticize every decision their ***** makes?

Seriously, why do my parents have to criticize every decision I make? I'm 23 years old, and little to nothing I've ever done since I've been in college has been a good or right decision. I think it has to do with the fact that I followed all their advice and didn't make a single decision for myself until after I left home.

It's getting to the point where I can't even talk to them about anything I'm doing until after it's already said and done, otherwise it makes me 10x more stressed about the situation. I thought parents were supposed to choose their battles, but my parents pick on every little thing, no matter how insignificant.

My *** is especially bad. Whenever I come home he criticizes what I'm wearing, what time I go to bed and get up, how quickly I take a shower after I get up, and it goes on and on. I can't even tell him I've been dating someone for over a year, because he'll go off the deep end about my boyfriend's age, the fact he has a ***, and his income. He wants me to marry an upper middle class asshole with no personality, and I'm not going to do it.


They still try to micromanage every aspect of my existence, and it's driving me nuts. Why are they doing this?? How do I get it to stop??
