What do you guys think about paying for extra lessons even when you're licensed?

I already have my license; I got it at 22. I am now 28. However, I haven't driven much since I've been licensed. I had professional lessons before I took my road test, but I wasn't practicing at home. I put off driving for a while because I had pretty bad driving anxiety. A lot of my anxiety stems from my father who has always been extremely judgmental and critical towards everything about me and everything I've done. Whenever my father would try to teach me anything, he would get easily frustrated and angry if I made a mistake or if I didn't pick up on something quickly which only resulted in me getting nervous and more prone to messing up. This is why I relied on professional lessons which were helpful. However, even though I am licensed I am still a beginner driver because I don't have enough experience.

What I started doing as of recently is paying $45.00 an hour for lessons every weekend to get more comfortable on the road. My father takes me to work in the morning and picks me up, but due to our history I am reluctant to get some extra practice with him at home.

AITAH for not telling my parents where I'm going?

I live with my parents and older brother. I am 28. Sometimes I'll step out of the house for a little while without telling my parents where I plan to go. The reason why I do this is because sometimes I don't really want them to know where I am going because I feel like it's not their business. I'll say, "I'm stepping out for a few hours I'll be back." They'll be like, "Where are you going?" I'll be like, "I'm just going out for a few." They will then get very frustrated for the fact I am not revealing where I am going. I also don't like to tell them where I am going sometimes because they have a history of judging and criticizing me for it. I still live with them because my income is not high enough to afford to live on my own and I just got accepted into nursing school.

Is it wrong for me to not tell them my whereabouts if I don't really want them to know? I am an adult.
