Something I learned throughout life -

There is always more than one way to do something right!

Breaking away from overbearing parents is never easy. Ask them when they are in a receptive mood, if they made mistakes along the way and survived??????? hehehehe
Explaining that learning, experimenting, making mistakes is what life is all about. They survived this long...chances are, you and your family will also survive don't you think?

Also good advice to not let them in on every little thing that's going on in your lives. You deserve space and time to be your own family....to rely on yourselves and not always have input from family...overbearing or not. Don't be an "enabler" hon.....we all have to learn how to break out of the molds we've formed over the years.

Wishing you well!!!
