My son is 18 and still lives at home while going to school. If he every decides he doesn't have to listen then he can move out and find out what real life is like. He also knows if he every disrespects his mother he'll get beat like a man. For you youngsters out there if is a HUGE difference between a boy fight and a man fight. So to all you 18 somethings out there living at home and decide I'm an adult I don't have to listen to my parents. Although I'm eating their food, living under their roof. Move out. Be an adult and make your own way in the world. I give most of you less than a month.

  • Yep. If you're 18 or over and still living with mom and dad, pull your weight. Help out around the house, with dinner, the yard, get a part time job, etc. If all you're doing is racking up Destiny hours be prepared to be treated like your 13. Act like a child expect to get treated like one. Want adult privileges take on some adult responsibility. Show some initiative and drive to help out. Also if you're living under their roof, gotta respect their rules. Just the way it is. If you don't like it get a jobby job and make your own way. Not sure about OP's age but is a senior in high school; better start getting prepared for the real world. Destiny will always be there. Mom and dad won't.

    Just to stop you right there; Personally; I had a job as a sous chef at the age of 17 and worked 40 hours a week. I had bought everything I owned and by the end of senior year, I moved across the country to live with a friend. Moved up to manager within 6 months at my new job before they closed to renovate. I'm more successful than most middle aged adults and I'm currently saving for the college my parents refuse to help pay for. Definitely not an ingreat as I have given my parents over 1 grand to keep them and my siblings in a house Edit: btw, I've been on my own for nearly a year and a half. Dont underestimate us Edit 2: and my step father tried the "kick your ass for disrespect" line when I told him to cut his alcohol intake before he became an alcoholic. Ended with me nearly throwing him off a deck and helping my mother to bed.

    Kuddos to you for being an adult and making your own way in the world. I not sure your middle age and mine are the same. I'm 48 so to me middle age starts around 35 or so. I do have to agree with the other folks, your advise not the greatest. On the other hand we are the sum of our experiences so I can see where your coming from. BTW I've been on my own for 31 years now. Well I've been married for 30 years so we've been own our own for 30 years. I will also say I consider you the exception to the rule. I'll give you a piece of advice my father gave me. Never get in a fight with a drunk. You should always win but in the end you'll loose. If you were protecting you mom (or anyone else for that matter) that is of course different WHY should your parents pay for your college?
