man old people are just the worst.
"You need to get a real job or move out!"
"I do have a real job, I'm doing accounting and bookkeeping, and I am moving out in March"
"That job doesn't count because it's through your mom's business you need a real job and go back to college this semester!"
"But I'm moving in March"
"Yeah but you need a REAL education for a REAL job and to stop staying up til 3am! That isn't reality, that's fake, that's not how the real world works and you need a wake up call!"
It's like, fucking hell just please kindly get off my nuts

ugh I would want to hit that person.
It's your fucking life and your fucking time, you can do what you want with it. But as far as supporting yourself goes, I hate it when people don't understand that things aren't the same for young people today like they were in the past. It's much much harder for young people today than it was when those 'Get a job!' crones were your age.

you should just stop listening to them. old people are great sources of knowledge, but not ALL old people. fuck em. you're over 18, do what you want.
one of the most important things i ever did was make myself completely self-sufficient. if you're relying on anyone for anything, you're always going to owe them something (or have to listen to them talk).

Yeah, the reason I moved in here was because it was right next to the college and my work, and it was just supposed to be a temporary thing. My other moving plans and stuff got delayed, and ever since I passed that 6 month mark her patience has run thin, even though I have plans on moving and everything else.
Maybe it's just my personality or the generation I grew up in, but I can't imagine getting old and outright refusing to adapt or realize how things are different. People looking at their phones in public doesn't make them drones like all these old people seem to think (or those oh-so mature and progressive baby boomers).

My mom was never like that. Her fault lies in being the polar opposite of 'Get a job!' in that she took no interest in my life. She never asked me about my schoolwork, or where I was going, who I was hanging out with, etc. When I was 14 I basically moved out and she just said to call once in a while and let her know I was OK. She was quite vocal about how she never wanted to be a mother. Now that I'm in my 40's we're very close and I'm getting ready to move so that we live next door to each other.
Isn't it totally normal to live with your parents now? Hell I moved back in with my parents twice, once in my 20's and once in my 30's for about year each time.
The only thing that's shitty about having your face in the phone all the time is when people opt for the phone when face-to-face interaction is available and right in front of them. There's something depressing about seeing people sitting together at a restaurant and they're fucking with their phones instead of talking. Or when a family is sitting there and the younger family members are ignoring their family while they're hypnotized by their phone.
