Parents always nagging me about stuttering. So annoying! Hello everyone, so I am an adult and live on my own (31 years old) but one thing my parents nag me about all the time is my stuttering and how I need to get into speech therapy. I actually went into speech therapy awhile back an they said I had a mild stutter and didn't need ongoing speech therapy. Also I have done lots of job interviews and presentations where I didn't stutter or had a mild stutter. My parents think that my stutter will prevent me from being able to get promoted in my job despite the fact that my boss and others say that I am ready. I tend to notice that my stutter is worse around my parents just because of the scrutinizing they do and the constant nagging.
