Well, to get a really good answer on this one, you would have to tell us the nature of the nagging.

However, I would say in most cases that parents 'nag' kids because they want to understand them and be part of their lives, but don't know exactly how to go about it. They want to have a good relationship with their kids, but they still have to maintain the role of parent so that they can protect kids from harm as well.

Sometimes parents nag about chores just to get them done... but there could be a deeper meaning... the need to teach responsibility.

Sometimes parents nag with questions about friends and activities because they distrust... but probably more often, they do it because they want to know what is going on with you, and they want you to be safe.

Some people just have a tendency to nag... but usually, if you reassure the person that you will get something done, or that you will be safe, and confront the issue directly... then the nagging might at least lessen. You can't remove a parent's concern for his child, but if you reassure the parent that you have thought it through, or that you will get it done at a certain time, that is a lot better than not addressing the issue at all. That can only lead to more nagging. :)

Parents nag you because they love you. You'd be able to stop the nagging when you move out though. :D

When it comes to raising children parents are suppose to give them a set of social skills to carry them into their adult years; but after the age of 18 or 22; which ever comes first; parents need to stay the hell out of their children's descions when choosing a mate, political, or responsible decisions about their life; as long as the child is taken care of his/her business like responsible adults should. Parents don't have to like it, but they should respect them as adults when they reach that age, and have the education to succeed in life.
