Sometimes what my parents say makes me feel really shitty.

I'm 27F, so i know that some dont let comments get to them anymore.

I live with my parents right now. it's helped me save for my dream to go on a work holiday (in two weeks). my parents have generously paid for the cost of my phone the past 3 years (I'm really proud of myself for having a phone last that long...I'm not too kind to it. knock on wood)

I knew, since it wasn't their choice for me to go abroad, that I would pay off the phone myself, whether it was 300 dollars or 150.

it had ONE MONTH left of payment! 13 dollars!

well I said during dinner that it only cost me 13 dollars! and my dad pointed out it was a $499 phone, with a almost smirking smile. I'm not ungrateful. why is he pointing out what I know, what I've expressed gratitude for in the past. it made me feel less of an adult, less pride in my commitment to do the adult thing and pay it off.

yes, while I'm gone my parents will pay for the line while im not using ut. I kinda feel bad about that. on the other hand, there is no way my budget can accommodate any more home expenses. I have to continue paying my car insurance and I paid my registration on top of recent health costs. I have to complete my tax return before I go.

I'm grateful for them for not charging me rent or utilities, or the phone expenses and I've expressed it before. what right does my dad have to say something ne KNOWS will make me feel bad?

I'm so stressed. I could cry.
