mom & dad
Mon, 03/07/2005 - 01:01Topic: Family & Friends
I am a 20 yr old college student who is in the process of getting her license. But that's not the problem here. I'm 20 and i need to move out of my house soon before me and my mom kill each other. We really don't get along. I'm going to be moving to the city in April but both my mom and dad are opposed to it. Do you know any ways that I can convince them that I will be ok? I will be living w/ 2 roommates and one is majoring in nursing so she knows her stuff but is that enough?

Rhosgirl,These are my own opinions,and they are to be taken as just that. I hope they help you with being able to see it from a different point of view ok?I forgot to ask in my prev post. Did you find a new job? If not that may be the reason why your father is so concerned. It is very hard to make it on your own. But people do every day. Otherwise we would all still live with our parents. Some people do very well and never move back home. And then there are others like my sister that uses my Mom's home as a safety net, when things get rough she moves back home. Other people choose to never leave home for their own reasons. What I am trying to say is...only you know your situation, and your family, and what is right for you.Basically You are an adult, make your own choices.Dayna

I haven't been able to find a new job yet but I am working on it. I've sent out 2 applications and I will hopefully be working at a flower shop this spring/summer. Thanks for your concern and for your helpful input. You really shed some light on the whole situation. :)

Possibly, I mean after all what could it hurt. You are moving in with responsible adults like yourself who care about their future. One is going to Nursing school which shows alot about her. Nursing school is difficult to get into. At least in California it is, you have got to pull the grades and really be dedicated. What about the other roommate?
