Why does my family talk so much trash about my city I live in/what I do/my apartment and want me to come back to my hometown?

They want you to move back in with them. You being away from them probably makes them anxious and they want you where they can see you to make sure you aren't doing anything they disagree with

Parents always have a hard time accepting that their kid moved. Don't do anything keep doing what you're doing. They will eventually have to accept it.

Maybe you actually live in a shitehole city.

[Asker]

No my city is fine. It’s one of the top 3 in the States.

[BoopBoopBeep]

NYC is one of the top in the states, still a shitehole. Meh... What do they not like about what you do for a living?

What are their complaints about your apartment? Location, amenities, cleanliness, services? You don't give many details.

[Asker]

Nothing! I don’t complain about my city at all. I don’t express discontent. They unsolicitedly say shit about how small my apt is and how stupid I am to be living here. But I live in a luxury high rise in a nice part of the city.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Sounds like they're just being argumentative because they don't agree with your choices then. F em if they can't even give a good reason.

[Asker]

I don’t get it. They’re not successful or super happy people. I don’t know why they feel it’s their place. The city is so fun and more sophisticated. I have a good career here and relationship.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Well if they're not happy people they don't want others to be happy either. Now it all makes sense.

They could be controlling and want you back under their wing/watchful eye. It's hard to say.

[Wise4myage]

Do they fear for your safety?

[Asker]

Lol no 😂
Well, maybe they do, but if I wanted to be “safer” I’d still never move back to my hometown
