Anxiety at my parents house

I'm at my family's house for the holiday, but ever since my first day here my grandma already started bringing back these old memories from 10, 15 years ago as if they happened yesterday. Mainly they're about my past mistakes, even when they're completely simple and stupid. Such as coming back home using a road she didn't approve of. It's stupid, but she uses that example to keep me from doing something now. By the way, I'm 30 and live alone in another state, so coming back using a shady road is the least of my problems.

Hi there and welcome @Persephonne2 <3

I can understand that this must be quite irritating for you, especially as you are visiting.It seems that old memories of this very thing has been ingrained and now, have resurfaced. It was a long time ago and like most of us, I imagine your Grandma's memory may not be so acute, so distant memories are more vivid to her. Try and put it to one side and enjoy your visit, you'll be able to leave soon, unlike years ago <3
Take care
