Wow, who shoved a beehive down your pants? She definitely owes me an explanation considering all the other crap I've been through. And don't you DARE tell me that the [censored] I went through a few years doesn't mean anything. I came damn close to running away with nowhere to go and even nearly killed myself because of it. So don't you dare tell me that they don't owe me a simple explanation.

Anyway, lack of proper communication and lack of understanding the reason why only works until a certain point in a person's life. "Because I said so" doesn't work for me any more.

And if they really wanted me to move out, then I hardly think that they would be encouraging me NOT to get a job or move out until I finish college.

Your mother doesn't owe you jack [censored]. Also, don't assume you are the only individual on these forums to have experienced trauma or an unhealthy home situation.
If you were a mature advlt, you would recognize that staying up all night playing games is not conducive to sleep for the rest of the household. You don't pay the bills there, your credit rating isn't affected if something goes wrong with the job, you don't have the responsibilites of housing, feeding, and providing care for the family. In fact, from what I have read, you don't seem to have much responsibility at all.

I do realize that, and my issue isn't because I want to be able to stay up all night, it's because I want to be able to go to bed of my own accord and now have my parents breathing down my neck and yelling at me every night. Does that make any bit of sense to you?

And by the way, a simple explanation is NOT that much of a hardship now is it? So really, she doesn't owe me anything. Not at all. But [censored] it if she expects me to idly obey her every command without question she has another thing coming to her.

Now kindly get off my thread, considering you aren't contributing anything useful to it.

The whole idea of staying with parents is because one isn't financially (or in some cases mentally) ready to go yet. For a college student staying home is a very cost-effective method of preventing unnecessary debt, housing in particular, especially when the debt is roughly 10k+ at U.S. colleges for a dorm and the interest for someone at his age and apparent responsibility would be easily enough for a very good used car on top of the 10k. Obviously for someone who gets a free ride and their parents take care of their debt and all that, this doesn't matter, but for the rest of us.. this is not a smart move, and IMO does not show financial smarts to impress parents into erasing a curfew unless parents are solely impressed by you taking on debt just to show them that you can stay up later at night.


who said he had to go to a University right away? I'm going to a community college right away, and I only owe 1,700 for my loan. That won't take much time to pay off at all. A few months to a year in fact. And if his parents taught him how to be financially smart like mine did, then he will be perfectly fine. Not everyone is a helpless idiot that doesn't have financial smarts. I have lived off of $600 for a whole semester, and I am just fine right now. I payed for gas, car payments, cell phone payments, and food extra off my meal card with $600 for one semester. The only reason I am back in my parents house is because there is a summer job that makes me 1.5k a month, and I can't turn that down. Living in dorms is actually a smart move because you are right on the school, and you don't have to drive anywhere, and you get a meal plan, so you are set for food. The people aren't so great, but there is always something wrong with wherever you live. I had it made pretty well living in the dorms.

Man, your [censored] NINETEEN. Yes it's ridiculous to have a bedtime, but now you are old enough to either try and talk about it, svck it up, or move out. Hell maybe they will lighten up if you at least take a step in the right direction and get up at a decent hour and get a job.

Have you not read any of the past page? I have tried to talk to them about it, the answer is always "That's the way it is in this house" please read before posting.

And with that I'm asking a moderator to lock this thread as it's serving no purpose but to infuriate me. Good day.

So talking doesnt work, you keep ignoring any mention of considering finding a job, a place or sharing apalce with a friend.

How am I lethargic? And yelling at me is NOT asking.

I don't have any friends to share a place with by the way, I'm working on getting a job, but it's difficult to immediately move out when you have no money saved AND you don't have a car.

What kind of parent encourages their child to not get a job?

Just while I'm in college. Both of my parents got jobs in college and the jobs won out over finishing school.
