Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : Background: I'm an only child and I have been homeschooled my entire life.   Because of this, we spend a lot of time together (more time than most families), and are very close.  I know this sounds crazy, but I probably consider my father to be my best friend. 

Problem: Recently, as my moving out and going to college grows immanent, my parents have become extremely clingy.  They want to spend more and more time with me, since I'm leaving soon.  Soon being, by the way, a year and a half from now.  At first, I wasn't bothered.  I love my life at home, and I'm happy to spend lots of time doing things with my parents.  Recently, it started getting kind of out of hand.  I recently applied for a highly selective five week summer camp, and my father tried to talk me out of it, because it meant being away from home.  He constantly criticizes my going, and won't hear a good word about it (such as that it's the first opportunity I've ever come across to experience my greatest interest: astrophysics).  All this still wouldn't be a problem, except that my mother and I have always had a kind of shaky relationship, in that she isn't good at expressing her happiness with others.  That often leads me to think she doesn't enjoy my company, and makes me not want to experience hers.  My dad recently told me that she was crying at night because I'm leaving so soon (again, one and a half years, normal time for a kid to leave and attend college).  

Problem diluted: Now I'm finding it difficult to live my life the way I want to.  My parents constantly make me feel guilty about spending any amount of time away from home (the five week camp is a crazy example, most things are just day activities or weekends).   I already spend far more time at home than anyone else I know, and am in fact often called a homebody.  

Conclusion: So tell me, AITA for not wanting to spend as much time with my parents as they want?
