25 and this is still going on?

7 Comments

My mom freaked out again. I quit my second job (because it sucked) and I am looking for a new second job so that I will have enough money per week, to pay my bills and rent an apartment. I am 25 still living at home, but will be moving out in one month. My mom still treats me as if I am 10 and needs to give me a ''slap on the wrist" (not literally) every time I fuck up. Living here at home makes me feel trapped, as if ''Big Brother'' is watching over me whenever I make a move. By the way, I dub this ''Big Mother'' for comedic effect. Now I remember why I wanted to move out of here so badly.

I want to know if this is normal? I did fuck up yes by quitting that second job early, however, I am more than confident I can get a replacement job easily. I also feel like I am in great financial standing. My main issue, like I stated before is that she treats me like a kid sometimes, yet she claims she is all about letting me live my life on my own, making decisions. I cannot take it. Help? Any advice?

IIN?

    25 and still living with mommy isn't very adult. Neither is quitting a job before you have another.
    I wish you luck, but your patterns so far don't bode too well for your future, IMO.

    Do you contribute to the house hold? Help her pay the utilities or buy groceries? I was in a similar situation. I helped with the bills but was treated that way which I didn't find to be fair. If I wasn't contributing I could understand her treating me like a little child. Chin up you will be out of there in a month.

      YES!

      I do things like any son or daughter would living at home, such as chores. AND I pay 'rent'' each month. Almost 200 dollars. I know that's a far cry from what most people pay in rent but still, I do contribute.

        Maybe it's just her motherly instincts and wanting the best for you( she might just have a strange way of showing it ). Like I said I can understand but don't worry soon you will only have to answer to yourself.

          This is why "children" eventually move out.

    yes. you are living under her roof. she has the right to press, and, for the sake of your independence, to make you feel "trapped". you need to step out from her financial protection, even though it will be unpleasant. good luck Sir!

    so long as you are living at home , there will always be complaints . I wouldn't stress out but just keep focused on your goal and plan at hand .
