I think I need to move out. My mom never ceases to amaze me at how hypocritical she is. She just finished bitching at my bro (and part of that lecture was also directed at me) about how we are not good sons. My mom wants us to save money. No, she does not want us to save money, she is FORCING us to save money. She gets mad and keeps bitching at how we spend but she has no trust that it's not like we throw our money away. It's like she's shoving her ideals down our throat. An example? My brother is paying for cable tv service because he watches it. He added a second line for her cuz it's free. But she doesn't watch it. So she wants it cancelled period. She doesn't care if he's paying for it and insist he never watches it. She insists he cancels it now so he can save money. And then what does she say? "Oh you guys are bad sons. You never spend money on me. I feel like I'm still raising you. You need to show me your loyalty and love by buying me things." WTF??????????? OMG seriously I cannot understand her way of thought.
And what irks me is that even though she can't cook, I don't even complain. I don't even want her to cook for me because she's getting old. I feel that she should only cook for my dad and my nephews because they're still young. I can take care of myself in terms of feeding myself and so can my brother. She even said it once, "It's ok. If you don't want to eat what I cook, just make sure you eat." And tonight? "Everytime you guys go out and buy food, it makes me sad." OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm in my last year of college and I told myself I will seriously move out once I graduated. I'm only working part time now ($600 a month) so I don't really have enough to move out. I also have some bills to pay as well. But at this point, I feel like I need to somehow find a way to get another couple hundred dollars income to move out. I hear so much bitching from her that I'm so desensitized to it. I don't even feel anger anymore.
I think I have enough stuff accumulated in my room to furnish a small apartment. As long as I can find another way to get $400 a month, I think I can get a nice cozy apartment in a ghetto neighborhood. But that means life is going to be tough since every penny I make will go towards the bills. I want to know from people who are somewhat in the same situation if the pain of getting by on your own is worth it compared to the pain of living at home?????

D) had a good point - go work out or something! You'll be in a better mood, you'll be in better shape, and you won't spend as much time at home so you won't hear the bitching. I'd wait till you graduate though. You'll almost definitely thank yourself for waiting the extra bit. You'll be better off.
