Lol this girl looks so pissed. She certainly didn't get the answer she was looking for 😂😂

[tanya-sue]

She looks like she regrets asking steve anything.😂

[ocubex]

While I feel her pain, the truth is as Steve says - you can't have the responsibility of a child and want to be treated like an adult.

[misskitagee]

She's 22 and doing something with her life it will all pay off soon

[Andrehutch]

Loooolz...This is the worst thing she could ever ask Steve...guess she didn't watch other videos to see Steve's opinion on such topic.

I was raised by my grandparents and they were very controlling. So, when I turned 18, I learned that in order for me to actually live my life, I would have to get a job and use my own money and stop relying on them. So that's what I have been doing. I'm almost 23 now and I always use my own money for things, I don't borrow from them often and when I do it's not much and I always pay them back really quickly so that I don't owe them anything and I'm not tied down. If you want freedom, you have to purchase it yourself.

Girl if you need your freedom, move out..she is your mom

[jaquanbell]

He had me at "why is she so quiet?" lol

[preciousjewlz]

She looks like a good girl...respectful and all☺️

[richellegiles]

I agree that she can't complain because she's living there all expenses paid but in black households we tend to think that lack of privacy and space is the price you have to pay for not living on your own. Those are things that everyone deserves no matter what the circumstances.

[tiffaraogaldez]

You got six months left on your sentence 😂😂 I laughed so hard!

[tommywilliams]

I did at least half of the stuff he mentioned and I still got treated like a child. It will only get better if you are not living under her roof or anyone else's.

[Yolzee]

I love it when they ask a question expecting Steve to take their side and he takes the other party’s side. Schooled! 😂😂😂

[Tylanjamison]

Hey I'm 22 and graduating in May too!!! Class of 2019!!! 👨‍🎓

[stephaniebelyavskaya]

When I got evicted from my first apartment when I thought I was a “big girl” at 20 years old and thought I could handle is the when I regretted moving out so early 😂💸 ENJOY IT SIS, get a job, save up money and move out when you’re financially free

[Shiddy]

Steve’s dad said, people in hell want cold water? really! This made ma ❄️morning 🤣🤣🤣

[jazlynarii]

I feel so sad for her she was trying to ask a question no one is taking her seriously

[ChristinaLibra]

Yeah I disagree with this one. As a parent if your child is in college you know 9 times out of 10 they are broke and are not financially stable so why even expect them to contribute to gain independence or privacey? Sounds like the mom needs to get a life or a hobby.

[simpleislandgirl]

Things like this make kids push farther away from their parents. If my mom was like this. I'd move out as soon as I'm able and get stepping. Sorry not sorry. She probably only hear from me twice a month. Her mother sounds out of control

[finally]

Her face told it all. I wonder if there were details that she missed that could have explained how her mom is controlling beyond jumping on her facetime calls and asking about her grades. I know that they only have so much time to ask the question but if her mom is truly controlling and not just a concerned or nosy parent she needed more details. How is she controlling? Does she make her eat certain food? Does she drive her to and from class? Does she only allow her to use Uber as opposed to taking the bus if she wants? Is she not allowed to go to college parties? Does she choose her friends, clothes, major, job, etc? That's controlling. Asking about grades and jumping on call is concern and/or nosy.
