You may be a full-grown adult now but to your doting parents you're still their little kid. Recognise these tell-tale signs? Fear not, with giffgaff you don’t have to keep saying you’re not a kid anymore — we’re all the boss.

1. When they try to give you money to go buy milk on the corner.

2. When your dad insists on helping with the flatpack furniture.

3. When your mum cuts the crusts off that jam sandwich she just made you.

4. When a sexy bit is about to happen in a movie and they change the channel as if you won’t notice.

5. When they put sugar in your tea even though you gave that up in 1997.

6. When you’re given a cake wrapped in tinfoil for the train.

7. When your dad insists on buying all the beers when you take him to the pub.

8. When your pudding is limited to two biscuits even though it’s your house and you bought the biscuits.

9. When your mum cleans your room while you're still in bed.

10. When your mum waits up for you to come home from wherever.

11. When you're hounded for months after your birthday to make sure you send thank you cards for the birthday cards.

12. When you can never be warm enough, no matter how warm you swear you are.

13. When you get a thing for Christmas that you would have really liked years ago.

14. When your mum cleans some ketchup off your face in front of everyone, with a hanky.

We love it, but sometimes we just wanna be the boss. With giffgaff, we're all the boss.
