On adult kids living with the parents, I'm on the other side, I'm the kid living with the parents. I never left though. Last time I was almost ready to leave, I had a job offer in MA near where I go to school. My mom got diagnosed with colon cancer. I couldn't exactly leave my family then. I had an interview Friday, again near my school. Two days before my younger sister up and runs away from home. I left home to head up there several hours later than I had intended to. I ended up stopping and napping in the rest area somewhere in CT. I slept minimally, and I was stressed as hell. Again, I'd feel like crap leaving my family at this point, once again.
Honestly, prior to my sister leaving home, my mom and I had a really hard time getting along. My dad and I got along pretty well before hand, we always have. My mom and I though, we were constantly fighting with each other. A lot of the fighting though was because of crap my sister went around saying about one person to the other. I'd love to leave, I'd love to get the job I interviewed for, but I didn't feel good about it when I left. I'd feel bad leaving though. When I went for two days, my mom was by herself because my dad went away. I felt horrible leaving, but I had to go.
I get myself into fights with my mom sometimes though because I analyze behavior all the time. It seems to annoy people to know this.
I think though, the kids who don't think their parents are adults, and should still be their parents.... ummm...no. My friend lives with her parents who still treat her like a kid. I can't take it. They make her call and tell where she's at, her mom waits up for her at night. I'm an adult. I can come and go as I please, and so do my parents. The only reason I need to know anything about it, or they need to know where I'm going is if anyone will be gone a while and there is a need to take care of a dog. I went to dinner with my friend tonight and they don't know about it, and I bet they did stuff today I didn't hear about.
Glenda, I bet your son would hate me with the ice. I love ice. If I were in Florida, I'd be going through probably even more than you. I like to fill up a water bottle as tight as possible with ice when it's really hot, fill the rest with water, and let the ice melt. Then just keep repeating all day long.
Happier note, I am looking forward to August to know what my other sister is having. I'm somewhat disappointed though about not being able to shop for anything yet. I'm not buying things for myself that I didn't specifically go in for, but it doesn't mean I can't buy anything for the baby.
And another note, my other sister who ran away took my good sneakers. I have another pair that are pretty much trashed. I'm taking them rafting this weekend, and they're done. I have a pair for my gym bag, and my other two pairs are fashion sneakers. I have to empty out my closet and see if I have another pair. I saw basically the same pair as what she stole, but in purple. I don't usually wear purple, but they were on clearance. The deal wasn't great though, so I decided not to buy anything tonight. I decided to check what I have first. Maybe I have another pair of sneakers to wear out first. I want my red adidas back though!
