 Satisfy their emotional and psychological needs, of course not. Being a grateful, loving son, absolutely. I hope you live on your own so you can distance yourself just a tad. Some parents have a problem with an empty nest and have to to be weaned slowly. You should be able to distinguish needing you to do something for them and being just plain needy. If you are still living with them then you need to move out to your own place. Visit frequently or call often but do it when you feel like it and don't make yourself too available. They will soon adjust to your independence. Good luck.

 You are 25 years old. Unless you live at home, you don't have to follow their rules, or do what they ask you to. You don't even have to answer your phone when they call.

 You are 25 though it is always nice to help out your parents your at a stage where you need to get your independant feet on the ground. Mothers will always see you as a child no matter your age its there nature and not there fault so i doubt its bullying but since you never said the job they want you to do its hard to say
