lol
thanks

and I got the best advice from a customer the other day,
Her first words to me at the cash register were
"Take the advice of someone who knows.
Love all men.
Marry none."

There was the squirrel at school today... it was eating clover. And it was really cute. It would sit on the ground, and gather the stems in its arms, then eat the leaves, then let go of the stems, so there were all these still-growing stems without leaves. It was really cute.

OMG
ok, this is just weirding me the hell out.

my mother, through a series of events, has the knowelege that I have had sex with a guy in my room.
She knows.
I know she knows
She knows I know she knows.
But she has said NOTHING about it......
ITS FREAKING ME OUT!!!!

The closest thing I got was "Is he nice" and "so does this mean you two are an item now"

Its like she understands that I made a decision about my life in my space using my best judgement and I can't replace my judgement with hers or anybody elses and still expect to lead a sucessfull and happy life.
But I wasn't expecting that. I was expecting to have to explain that to her then weather a storm after.

p.s. I am 22 and have lived out of home for like two years and only moved back in because she moved across the country to an area where I would have a much better chance of gaining employment and I am working towards moving out of home again. Not because I don't like living with my mother but because I miss the pride of paying my own bills and taking full care of myself.

I would kill to get that kind of respect. I moved out at the beginning of the school year, and my parents still try to enforce a bedtime on me.



I swear I'm not necro posting. Just getting the chat thread back where it belongs, on the first page. ninja

I was just thinking that the chat thread needed to be pulled up....

I love having the house to myself... I'm at my friends house, cause her mom didn't want her staying by herself while they were out of town, so i slept over which ment that we cut and sewed stuff. heart

I'm fast approaching college graduation, which is scary enough as it is, but my parents want me to move back home again, until I get into graduate school. I love my family, but I have my pride, and I'm afraid I'd turn into an anti social hermit before the summer was over.
One of my friends is in a similar boat, and we're thinking (day dreaming) about getting an apartment together.

Heh... The amazing parent cream!

Moving back with your parents after a taste of freedom is weird. I've lived with them during summer holidays when I got a summer job in my old hometown (or those summers when I couldn't find a suitable job anywhere). It has its advantages but it's nice to move back to my own home in the autumn.  

[Blue-eyes-green]

I was home for six weeks around Christmas because I had to miss the winter term due to getting my wisdom teeth out. I can deal with my parents, it just I have no social life left in my hometown, so I get really lonely.
I gave up a long time ago on convincing my father that I am no longer four years old and completely defenseless. It's just easier that way. It's my mother I tend to wind up arguing with.  

[peachkitten]

since i've moved out i've been getting the "are you ok? and is he dominaing you?(i live with my fiance)" the thing is parents cant stand the fact that their child is grown up and can think for themself. i get that line at the wierdest times during a chat on the phone... eek

i bet my parents are dying for me to moveback into the town let alone the house. i also get the "are you happy" line. at this point i'm not going to give in and stay away. i love them but i cant stand them.  

[Tinuvial]

My relationship with my parents improved drastically when I moved out on my own. They were always telling me how hard it is to fend for yourself, etc. But thanks to some great advice from my dad, I'm really financially responsible. I managed to move into an apartment in my senior year of college and haven't been back since.

I think my parents are a little sad that I took the transition so well. Fortunately for them, I have 2 younger sisters - so they still feel needed. It still feels weird when they come to visit me. Mom always brings towels and food as if I don't have enough for my guests. XD I guess she still doesn't think I've grown up.  

[Blue-eyes-green]

I'm the youngest of four, with five years between me an my closest sibling, so it's really hard for them to let go. But I don't think they'll be too upset about me moving in with my friend, once we the logistics of it worked out. Unfortunately, where we'd be moving in is completely across the country from my parents, so they won't like that, but it's within the same county as my favorite aunt, which they would like.

Speaking of moving out....

In two weeks I will be living on my own for the first time- in Springfeild, Mass. A long cry from where I'm from. (Cinci, OH). Is anyone on the guild from up that way? I know no one up there. ><  

[kochi~mochi]

i need a better job.... sweatdrop i get like 2 hours a week, which is like no money.  

[knitting_needle_ninja]

I know the feeling. I work 3.5 hours a week because the place where I work is riddiculously overstaffed. Our minimum wage got increased to $6.85, which meant I got a .35 raise, but they raised the taxes too, so I lost $20 off my paycheck at the end of the month. ¬.¬
