recently, all my mother talks about is this upcoming election. everything she says and relates to is about mitt romney. whenever she's not discussing that, she's telling me to change my major from graphic design to a bunch of other bullshit suggestions because i won't make money. the thing is, i really don't give a fuck. we live in a piece-of-shit culture and i'd rather follow a profession i have an already-developed talent in. if i had the choice, i wouldn't want my parents to waste tons of money for me to get a "higher education" just to serve the economy and survive. she also goes into huge, elaborate conversations about necessary things. i just have way too much respect for her to not tell her to fuck off sometimes. whenever she complains that i have nothing personal to share, i end up being honest with her and she criticizes my lifestyle, rather than letting me do my own thing. i appreciate the advice, but i don't want it. i'd rather keep my opinions to myself on the other hand, my dad is an asshole all the time. he rarely has anything positive to say when he speaks his mind. he used to provide me with money back in high school from his banking account and gave me a debit card. i would take about 20 bucks out a week for lunch money. it was nice. however, now that i'm in college, i don't need to do that anymore. i also have had a landscaping job for a while now. i help my childhood teacher with her lawn. her and her husband can't do it as a result of health issues, so i take care of everything when i'm not at class or doing homework. i even put my job before friends. i'm lucky i have gotten this job, since i make a ridiculous amount of money in a short amount of time doing a variety of simplistic things. my dad just doesn't know shit about me and what i do. he thinks i still rely on him for money, and always asks how i afford things, and then tells me i don't have an actual job. acts like i've relied on him for everything and isn't proud of a fucking thing i've done myself. he's generally a very aggressive person and ignorant. it's stressful being around him because he doesn't have respect for anyone my mom's been trying to divorce him for years, but she can't possibly live on her own. it seems like neither of my parents appreciate me nor know who i actually am. if i didn't want to grow up three years ago, i would still be a momma's boy and rely on my parents for every single thing. that's just the way i was raised. surely there are great things about living here and having some needed support from my parents, but they seem ultimately discouraging about everything and i can't get through to them, so i don't waste my time trying. i feel i do better with solving my issues in my own ways than listening to them. i realized we're very different now that i've been living as an adult
You should stay on campus, that way you only have to put up with their bullshit during thanksgiving, Christmas, spring and summer break.
your mom is probably just bored with life trying to live through you by saying that major stuff. I would just ignore it. As for your dad whatever, just get your degree get a full time legit job, find roommate and GTFO. As for me, I love living with my parents personally. Senior at University commuter. I went to a different school down in the LA area before transferring up here my Junior year. Life is different now but no problems with them. Before Weed on the table, alcohol of roommates everywhere, apartment smell like dank all the time. Toke in morning and night, but I partied a lot I've since quit alcohol and partying like that, I got bored of it honestly sleeping around with random females as well does not feel good looking back on it. Sure I had freedom but I still have it here. Parents don't bother me, on the rare occasion they try to make a suggestion like switching career path or major, I either ignore or just say I'm doing me you do you and they understand and just stop. Other than that it's great because they know I Toke daily in my room, they are fine with it my grades are excellent, I'm in excellent physical shape and don't get in trouble they just don't want my younger brother to get influenced or see. So I hide it from him. They don't care what I do what time I come and go, I'm 22 they understand. It's always nice getting free food every day, cabnets full of everything, fridge never low, home cooked meals. Great business really. Sure they have quirks and can be weird at times, but living with parents is great right now the good outweights the bad by far.
Nah, I like it I just moved in with my Dad but I don't have my own room, I sleep on the couch, so I can't really have girls over Which usually isn't a problem but lately it's been reallll inconvenient but theres so many positives that outweigh pretty much the only negative
I like living with my family. Its just nice to wake up around 10, all the kids are at school and mom's at work. I get baked, then do the houses laundry and dishes. Then I just chill all of the rest of the time. Next week though I start my new job.. I may move out, but i'm not planning on it.
i cant stand it. my step dad is fucking insane. he can barely hear so he yells everything he says without realizing it, not to mention he speaks to the cats like theyre people. and sings and makes random noises. ive asked my mom to commit him but she thinks im joking. and then my mom is just really really annoying. shes a very very very nice person. like nice to a fault, and it kind of gets on my nerves. i really just want to move out so badly. next year guaranteed though. im waiting for a position to come up at a federal crop research center and they always pay well to people with educations.
You sound like an asshole who has no respect for how the real world works, your mom is trying to tell you that your shitty art degree will get you nowhere in life and she is right. You hate society now but in the future you will see that life aint so bad especially with a degree and a career. You seem like a punk who doesn't know what life is really like (it's a bitch) even worse with no education (fact). Your dad is an asshole because he is sick of supporting your dumb non decision making lifestyle with his hard earned funds. You should give both your parents more respect because they supported your ass and still do ( mister landscaper ) from the day you were born. You have know idea of the trouble or sacrifices and hard work your parents have invested in you to this point in your life. Maybe you should acknowledge your parents love and dedication to you. You probably dont even realize it but you are probably the cause of their marital strain. Go do a good thing for both of them while they are still alive....

I grew up in a broken family thats all crazy so i couldnt wait to get out at age 18. thats what i did. worked fulltime 75+ hours living on my own wit a roomate. im 21 now living on my own supporting myself. trust me it aint easy(i got no other choice)I haven't been able tobuy bud for about 3 months now due to my car blowing up and bills tangling me. food is hard to buy and i go without alot but i feel very good about myself. im alot stronger than alot of my friends and have more responsiblity. i changed my major from broadcasting to RN. i can help people out and make 30k-40k starting out for a two year degree. so i can live good and comfortably from the bottom to the top! i cant wait to reach my pinacle stay storng due. hope my experience helps you someway in making a decision to move out and be a man who can say "i am independent"
yep. i recently had to move back in. my parents new i had bought a mini fridge. what they dont know is i turned it into a grow box. they asked where it was when i didnt bring it home
Wow Cleverpiggy that was the most dick thing I've ever read in my life. Telling him his major is shit? It's graphic design, not a useless painting and drawing degree you idiot. You need to calm the fuck down and read before you write a bunch of bullshit.
Okay maybe a degree in Art is valid, but sucking off your parents and talking shit about how much they suck for supporting your punk ass is not! Let me guess, you do the same thing.
You're a fucking dumb ass OP clearly stated that he has a well paying job, so he isn't suck off his parents. You have no clue what it's like to live with fucktard parents that think everything they say is right all the time, and there is a high demand for people in the graphic design field especially with gaming companies such as blizzard, microsoft, turbine, ect....

My parents think that everything they say is best for me. Too bad they are helicopter parents. Of course, they are wise, but what good is that when they don't take ny input.
I fucking loved it when I lived with parents. Dad made 300,000 per year, mom is hippy Asian. Both didn't care (eventually) about me smoking pot. Awesome Korean food EVERYDAY.
absolutely. i'm not stressin about it on a daily basis but sometimes it gets me on my edge. grateful for what i've got. there's just a lot of individual issues that build up sometimes. i'm sure a lot of people could relate you should go visit an anger management forum instead of blatantly harassing your fellow blade
