Parents Just Dont Understand

[PSINXS]

For what its worth, i'd def listen to ruiner. hasnt said a piece of bad advice once.

i was sorta forced to go on my own...my parents moved to pennsylvania and unless i wanted to freeze my nuts off i had to learn to make it on my own...they've been there 2 years and ive been fine....not as hard as ppl make it out to be, just gotta be money smart!

[Ruiner]

so your a virgin?

you're

Think of it this way: if you can put "you are" in there, then the proper word is "you're". If it "belongs" to you, then the proper word is "your".

[Ruiner]

Blahahaha and he's still afraid that I'm a pick up and leave so he leaves a Franklin every week. HAHAHHHAH

At almost 20 years old, it's about time to move out. How do you bring girls over to your pad? I mean, ugg.... I couldn't even imagine.

you're

I just type too quickly to use the proper version of the word, but i gotcha

Along the lines of what others have told you: Get out, find your own way, and make your own life. It's the only real way that you'll appreciate all that you have accomplished. You'll reflect back and think about how you did it all on your own.

Sure, it is nice to have the help of parents, but there comes a time when you have to leave the nest; when you have to be a man.

Good luck! Keep pushing through, no matter how hard.

what ever makes you happy go with it man, I've been out on my own for about 3 years now and its not all that great to have to pay for everything but you do get the satisfactory of knowing you did it on your own. I would love to go back home and live rent free but its not something I can do.

Great advice. My parents are helping me out a lot by paying my rent as long as I'm in college. I've actually gotten a lot closer with them since I quit seeing them on a daily basis.

Brandon, have you told them how much it seems like they are just pushing you away with their comments? It sounds like they're just having problems with you being on your own, they probably just want what is best for you and are going about the situation the wrong way.

[PSINXS]

no i havent told them how their comments make me feel. i should though. I wouldnt trade living on my own for anything right now. But they really do push me away and make me not want to return even more.

I read this and thought that you were talking to me... Damn, there are too many Brandon's on this board.

[ahmonrah]

let's see. my life in a nut shell.....6 days after graduatin HS i was a serviceman.
i was 17.
fast forward 11 years to now, i've rented 5-6 different apartments, owned a house and after a nerly dying i'm at my folks for the first time. hate it but they are supportive and cool cause they know i'm not gonna be there too much longer. now i'm jumping out again with no intentions of going back. once was enough. i'm busy as hell right now so i'm hardly there. congrats on the move dawg.
i've seen life at all standpoints, including the end of life, but it's made me stronger. enjoy your new accomplishment, there are many more on the way, and some will hurt before you get them but it makes getting them worth it.

Oh my god. My dad blamed me losing my phone on moving out and not being ajehovah witness. WTF!!! i asked if i lost it at work is work bad and it made me lose my phone? no answer lol thats fuckin retarded. if you lived at home maybe you wouldnt have lost it. u hang with a lot of people and go out a lot so you are irresponsible. I'd die before i come back here.

[tony]

My situation is the opposite, I actually take care of one of my parents and they still work my nerves.. depending on your relationship with your parents after a certain age you should only deal with them on a certain level, and living with them is not one of those levels.

[green91]

I moved out when i was 18, 60 miles from home and never looked back. Ive since moved back closer to my mom.. but ill never move back in with the 'rents unless for some reason i quit my job and go back to college and cant afford to live away.

[Tasuki_Civic]

u, me & brandon would have fun as room mates.

lamo Psinxs is right. we would always be out and if we were home we would all be sleep or it would be cookouts or parties goin down. it would either be a house full of pple or no one at all. lol

My parents stopped helping me @17, I said fuc* school. They said, you go to work son. Havent looked back since.

I recently moved out of my parents because of religious differences. ever since I've been gone they have been the most pessimistic people. I love them to death but what the hell? HOw are you supposed to build someone up if you are constantly telling them"you wont make it out there". you wont be able to eat, you wont pay your bills, you cant survive, you need to come back. I have been doing decent for most that moved out with literally nothing but clothes and a car. My friends have had my back through all of it. The same friends they said dont care about me and will turn their backs on me. Hmm wrong again mom and dad!!! i lost my cell phone yesterday and the first thing my dad said was "you cant win". WTF? No dang that sucks, or its alright jsut get another one, or do you need help getting another one, or want to borrow my phone? They chastise me and put me down and make me feel like crap. but i have been the happiest since i've been out of the house. I am starting to think my bouts with depression stemmed from them. i've gotten worried at times about scraping up pennies to make it, but never really depressed. i am happy as all hell. But i come back here and its depressing.

i just got a new job and they had nothing good to say. No congratualtions. WHy do u want to work way out there? ts not enough money, thats too far, do u want to do that, i dont like that job. Not once did they say i am happy you got some income coming in. Or maybe things will be better you;ve got steady money. They shit on everything i want to do in my life.

you should slay them, that'd show 'em
