Well. I'm in a horrible mood, and need to vent. I guess my mom thought I was out a little too late tonight, so she called me up. It was 1:30ish, and she thought it was too late.

I'm 18, own a business, what more could you ask for? F--k me. F--k me. She told me I had some options, they were: "Come home earlier, or find a different place to live.", as well as, "Don't come home with hickeys, or you'll have to find another place to live."

I replied, "Well. I guess I'm going to find another place to live." -- "I'll try and be out before the week is over.", and then I went ahead and packed my clothes, and left. I'm now at my business, damn.

What a sh-tty night.

So your saying that you broke her rules and your leaving now.

Good luck

Pretty much.

And thanks, I'm going to need it. Living on your own is super hard.

At least you know she worries about you and worrying is caring and caring is loving. Granted it may be hard to cope with, but thats a parent for you. They will always be your parent and will always love you no matter what. As for you being out late, it was her house and her rules.

Dude?!?!? what?!?!?!? you left home?!??!?!? . Take care man.....

Moving out isn't something you do because you're pissed. There's lots of planning to be done prior to. My suggestion is to call your mom and iron things out. Your mom loves you and is concerned about you. Count your blessings legojerry.

Gather all your good friends and live in a BIG house or a big apartment and all your friends split the rent

First thing I am going to do when i turn 18

Good Luck Man!

good luck man. remember that if you get hungry, they give out free cookies and OJ at the bloodbank after they take a pint or two.

and ramen noodles are 10 cents...stock up like theres no tomorrow...naw but seriously she needs to get the stick outta her a$$...i mean it could be worse man u could be heavy into drugs but its hicky's lol..i mean seriously she needs to worry bout more serious s*** then that.

Sorry man...I have to agree with your mom. You were living under her roof and so you have to live by her rules. No reason to be pissed off about that. Good luck being on your own though.

yea but matt dont u think shes gettin a lil too overboard as far as what he does ...i mean hes a grown man, 18 yrs old and can make his own decisions . Who cares if he comes home with hickey's ...im sure his mom did the exact same thing when she was 18!

Well.. I finally called her, and asked what's up.. we're gonna talk wednesday morning, 10:30..

To top it all off.....my dog died this morning.

WinWizard makes quite the point there. I dunno how much $ you've saved or how much your business is bringing in, but living on my own for a while now has enlightened me to the difficulty of independent life.

On the otherhand ya gotta move out some time. Maybe this is for the best? Whatever the case, good luck (and don't burn any bridges!)

Dude it's not like hes gonna be homeless lol, I'm sure a mate will have space?

Its the best thing you can do. Kipping down at the business or moving into a doss house with mates ain't gonna do you any good - especially if you do it in anger.

When you see your mum try and reach a compromise on some of her rules. She loves you, but to her you're still her child. She needs to realise that you're no longer a kid. So talk it out, show her some respect, offer to compromise and show her that you have some maturity.

You know it makes sense.

Also, sorry to hear about the dog. When my last one died I was heartbroken!!

Out man Sounds like you are having a hard time.
I wanted to move out on my own in grade 8 - Imagine that!
I would have done it but I couldnt afford it. I thought of manyways of escaping parenting.

Eventualy I learned that living with my folkes isent to bad, it has its advantages. Free food! housing! High Speed Internet! Digital Cable! and last of all - Love and Support.

Your 18 man, It might be time for you to move out and start your own future. Alot of people dont like change - but in the end, change is inevidable.

There's been lots of good points brought up here. When I was a child, I wanted nothing more than to be rid of my parents, then i found out that being on your own increases tremendously the amount of responsibility placed upon yourself. I didn't want to live by my fathers rules either, I was working and paying my parents rent, so why couldn't I do what I wanted? It was still their place and to do what I wanted, I needed my own. As far as living with buddies, that can be a nightmare too. Sorry about your dog and I hope you can come to a compromise with your mom. Just remember she loves you and you are still her baby. Merry Christmas Guys.

Well, I took your advice, sucked it up, and talked to her. We compromised, I can stay out 'till 1:00, which I don't really like staying out that late, anyway. I just need to make sure there's no curfew on weekends.

She was mainly concerned because I had asked this guy if he knew how to get some alcohol, whom is a friend of mine, and he told her about it. I wasn't serious when I asked him, anyway.

She was also concerned of the hickeys, 'cos she said.. "That's really emotional, and that can lead to other things..", well.. if she knew what it already has lead to, she would freak.

I understand she was just concerned about me, and the reason she was mad, is because she had been worrying.

Ah well, I'm living back at home for the time being, hopefully she'll help me find a place, and we can work on it together. I just don't want to live at home for the rest of my life, I see too many people do that.

Thanks for all your guys thoughts/comments/suggestions.. I may not have called her, if not for that.

- Jerry

- Edit.. Blah. I can only stay out until 1 on weekends, too. This sucks.. my girlfriend lives 40 minutes away, so I like to stay with her as late as I can.. oh well.

well, at least you're back at home. 1am isnt that bad, though 40 minutes is a long time to drive. but, always gotta compromise...

sorry to hear that your dog passed man.

Nice to hear everything worked out (sorta)

Merry Christmas to you legojerry. The best of luck

I'm glad for you that things have been worked out. Have a Merry Christmas legojerry.

Glad to hear everything worked out for you
Sorry about your Dog I have three dogs and two of them are almost 13 years old. One is still a puppy though.

Merry christmas
