As weird as the title sounds, my family really dislikes me using Tuta and not Gmail. Is your family also like this?

"Come on, Sarah, can't you just be normal and use Gmail like everyone?"

my mom, scolding me.

Whoa. These comments are quick to jump to "your parent doesn't love you" or talking about divorce. Chill out, folks.

“Come on, Sarah, can’t you just be normal and use Gmail like everyone?”

my mom, scolding me.

I don't know the context, but... that doesn't seem like something that should hold your Mom's attention?

Maybe she's worried about something else, and the email topic is just a proxy. My Mom was the same when I really got into tech hobbies in some problematic points of my childhood.

Yep, I don't really care about this anymore. My parents are really crazy, I'm actually shocked I don't have paretal controls yet.

Mine did. I just hacked around parental controls when I was young, heh.

I will say your parents could be crazy and earnestly trying to help at the same time.

Oh, mine did too. Or stuff like the table not being quite right...

That sucks :(

The title sounds weird because it's word gore, not because of the implied meaning. Try reading what you've written.
