Only child kicks parents out of her house on dad's 61st birthday after he does her laundry without her permission, reaffirming their inability to see her as an adult: '[They] blatantly disrespect my boundaries'

Being an only child is rough. Some only children might deeply desire to have a brother or sister; they long for a built-in bestie, someone to confide in, and someone who could be on their side when it feels like mom and dad are ganging up on them. Still, as an only child, all of the attention goes to you. In some ways, it's nice; you are never overlooked or forgotten. But all of that attention can sometimes feel like suffocating scrutiny.
Parents want to keep all of their children safe, but when you're their only kid, their protectiveness can border on being downright infantilizing — especially in adulthood. In our story today, a young woman, her parents' only child, finally makes her boundaries clear with her mom and dad. She's tired of being walked all over. Too bad this all had to go down on her dad's birthday.

One could argue that dad just shows his love through acts of service, but if someone tells you explicitly not to do something, don't expect a thank you.

It seems like they don't want her living on her own and intend to find evidence in favor of bringing her home under their care and control.
