Self-Isolating With Your Parents Turns You Into a Teen Again
11 Ways Going Home to Your Parents' House to Socially Distance Turns You Into a Teen Again
Let's face it: moving in with your parents, no matter how old you are, can make you feel like a kid again — and doing so during the coronavirus pandemic takes it to a whole new level. In high school, not being able to hang out with your friends was usually due in part to something along the lines of "It's a school night," or in my case, being grounded. During these uncertain times, hanging out with friends is completely out of the question — the government basically pulled a "Because I said so," and it's one you really can't argue with. If you're social distancing at your parents' house, there's a good chance you've felt like you've regressed into a teen most (if not all) of the time you've been there. If these reasons as to why being at your family's house during this time ring true to you, too, just know that you're not alone.
