"They basically thought that they were paying for my college tuition and living expenses that they could tell me what to do, who to hang out with," Aubrey Ireland said. "Basically control all of my daily life." no shade but don't most parents think this....when they're paying for anything?

I might pay for your college but I don't think I should have so much control over my child's life. They went overboard and once she said back down they should have done it. Let that bird fly.

If it got to the point that it interfered with my life...I would probably consider a restraining order
Tracking device, poppin up at my college, watching me on Skype, confirming that I'm in my dorm room....could the girl live?
Some parents don't know when to cut the cord. Sucks that this is the route she feel she had to take. They could have backed off but they didn't

if she want to cut ties with family all she gotta do is cut ties. Don't accept calls, don't go to family events, don't go around 'em. Is it really that hard? U gotta file paperwork? Oh wait.....so you want them to continue to pay for your sh*t while not fuccin' with them. girl bye.

Parents go overboard sometimes. Helping your child get a jump-start on life does not give you permission to run their life. You should do it out of love not because you want to control their every move.
She is 21. She needs to be making her own decisions about when she wants to go to bed, who she wants to be friends with/date, whether or not she wants to do drugs and if she thinks she needs help mentally.
I always thought a parents job was equip their child with wings and lead them to the cliff. If they see the child about to fall they offer a caring hand/help. Now they wanna choose where she flies, when she is about to land, what trees she perches on and she aint having it. I'm not mad.

I wanted to say something along these lines, but thought it may be offensive to some.

asleep.The parents admitted to installing the monitoring software. |

Wow...watching her sleep on Skype is extreme, but it seems like such a slap in the face to everything they've done for you. I'm sure there had to be a more discreet, less embarrassing way to cut ties.
And she better remember how she did them if crisis strikes. Don't go calling mommy and daddy if you lose your job, car breaks down, rent is due, etc.
Ungrateful wench!
