Sometimes....

[Wagamama]

I just can't take living in this damned house anymore. I really really can't. I'm so sick and tired of being told what to do, when to do it, etc. If I had a job I would move out in a heartbeat and get my own place. I'm 22, I've really had enough. I don't mind my mom so much except when she nags, but lately my dad has been driving me up the wall. Sometimes I get so angry I feel like punching out a window or going at a wall with a baseball bat. Thanks for listening to me B*@&%$.

I can imagine. Do your parents try to baby you? Do they forget you're 22 yo?

I've still got my fingers crossed for you to find a job soon. Good luck.

{{{HUGS}}} Sounds like you are having a rough night.

OK, maybe it is time to save up money for an apartment. If you can't afford it on your own, do you have someone you know who could share an apartment with you?

I think you are feeling the same way DS felt when he moved out (well, he started moving out when he was 19, came home and moved out twice before he moved out for good )

Maybe you need to exercise your independence. Stop and think about it. Maybe it is just a fluky bad day, or maybe you need to strike out on your own.

Only you know what would be best, but we are here for you if you need us.

Sorry, just saw Shannon's post. Didn't know you are looking for a job. Hope you find one you like soon, and maybe you can work things out.

Sounds like it's bad. Sometimes my parents really get to me too.

I know what you mean. I lived with my parents for ~7 months after I graduated, and I was like 27 yrs old. It was horrible! E.g., I know how to artificially inseminate a horse, but my parents have to censor the TV for "too much sex and cursing." Well that wasn't the worst part, just an example. Anyway, it got to the point where I had rather spend the night at the IHOP or looking for a couch to sleep on. That's when I got desperate and took the best offer I got in a week (a good way to wind up in a crappy job, I'll tell you!)

I hope you find something soon and get out of there.

I am sorry about the problems with your parents, problems like that are why I live at my Mom's not my Dad's, my Mom leaves me alone, and my Dad is impossible to live with (as my stepmother, his third wife is finding out)

I can stand living at my Mom's while in school, it would have been impossible with my Dad (because he is never wrong )
