| Why is this a common issue? |

| Because some parents are controlling morons who don't get it. |

For my parents, it was just a continuation of controlling my childhood. It doesn't matter how old I am, apparently. I am their child and they feel entitled to control. This is why I moved across the Atlantic to raise my family!

| I have a healthy relationship with my parents and they couldn’t do this if they tried. What would they do? |

| How would this happen, let alone enough to be common? |

| Just look up other threads on this sub forum. It seems meddling starts very early. |

| It’s not sabotage. It’s eliminating future drama. |

Well, people can always find ways to justify themselves. |

| Until my mother died, she talked about how lucky I was to have my brother. She never ONCE said he was lucky to have me. It affected how we viewed each other and how we treated each other. Still does, a little bit. |

I don’t see that with many American parents tbh
It’s mostly parents from other cultures I totally intend to keep tabs on my son’s personal life - as someone said, to avoid the drama I am already teaching him to avoid problematic people, those who love drama, etc. and I will definitely be more welcoming to someone I approve than not |
