This is the best part of all. I've been in debt for some time with one friend and my grandfather. this debt arose entirely out of my long period of unemployment. At the time I made an agreement with them both that I would start paying them back at the end of this month. Fast forward to now - I moved back to my parents, have a job that pays well enough for me to now commute to school as well as pay all my bills and save up a bit money on the side. So, while competently paying my dues I've been saving up for a Wii U. irk 1- As soon as a move back my mother (understandably) pestered me about what I'm planning to do with my money and how I'm going to go about paying my bills. I showed her my expected cashflow as well as the purchases and bills I'd be paying including the debt that was due to my friend and grandfather. this projection covered the entirety of october, november, and december. Now of course I'm going to have my wii u purchase on there and we get into a big argument about how I have no integrity for making personal purchase whilst I owe people and how this is a reflection of her parenting blah blah blah. Now, I understand where she's coming from but that's just not the type of person I am. I told them I'd pay them back at the end of this month which I still plan on doing which is much more than I give a fuck about the whole situation in the first place (that's another story that has to do with the friend I owe although I will say that I do care about paying my grandfather back). To make matters worse I fucking despise my mother at times. don't get me wrong, she's optimally functional as a mother but as a human being in the context to our relationship she fucking sucks. her lack of empathy and understanding for others is bordering upon levels antisocial personality disorder that speaks bounds about my mistake of moving back in. okay, so lets talk about tonight irk 2 - I tell her I'm excited to get my wii u in 10 days and she's all like "well, don't expect to be playing it on any of my tv's until you pay everyone back". I understand its her house but this bullshit is NONE of her concern. lets not forget that I'm a fucking grown man who doesn't need her to punish me so I can care more about her morals, ideals, and thoughts on integrity. Stupid shit like this is what made me leave and why I've always had problems with her. Let me be my own man and make my own decisions and mistakes. this isn't her life whether she wants to be super mom or not.

Well how can you really be a fucking grown man when you are depending on your parents again?

I think you were fine to buy the Wii U as long as you would have the money by November 30th, but it's not a good idea to mention that you're buying non-essentials while you still owe family/friends money. Even if logically you know you can pay them back, I'd assume most would like to believe that you're in a bit of austerity while you get the money together.

my friend's single mother of two (including him) had to move back into her parents house at the age of 43 because she couldn't support living on her own with her two teenage children. Now, do you consider her to not be a grown woman? you obviously misunderstood what I meant by saying I was a grown man even though I clarified it in the post. As far as the mentioning of non-essentials goes I could have lied to her and omitted the purchase of the console from any conversation I had with her that had to do with my finances but I didn't feel like lying. As far as me bringing it up last night which caused this whole situation, I was merely making small talk with her. the point of my little rant however is that she has no say in what I do with my life. I appreciate her for all she's done and I even think she has a right to do what she's doing since I now live with her again. However, she has no right to say how I should live my life nor judge me and my "integrity" because honestly, I couldn't give two shit about how people view me, especially if its as shallow as her perception.

I didn't misunderstand shit.

I'm not saying that there aren't specific reasons why you would have to move back in with your parents, and I'm typing this while living with my parents right now, but you can't have it both ways. You can't be treated like a fully mature and independent adult when you are not one. You are living in her house, and would be using her television. If you don't want someone sharing their opinion on what you do, no matter how judgmental it is, then maybe you should get your ass out of their house. She has a say in your life when she gave birth to you and is currently responsible for you having a roof to sleep under.

Also, part of her identity is tied to you and you should realize that when she criticizes you. Parents usually want what is best for their kids, but they also feel responsible for outcomes when their kids make certain decisions, like you mentioned in the first post. The whole "accepting people for who they are" thing is nice and all but how often is that really the case?

As for your friend's single mother, she has provided for her sons for (20+?) years and lived alone for probably at least a good portion of that. She's definitely an adult for having truly experienced life on her own and having to care for children, but not independent. Not sure how old you are but I'd be surprised if you could really make that comparison between you two in earnest

I know in some cultures the financial independence thing isn't as big a deal, but I really think it's hard to reconcile that spirit of "I can live my life however I want to" with "I can't totally support myself"

edit: reread an earlier post and you're 22, I'm 23. Most people around our age are not really adults yet...we're close but it's like adolescence is prolonged now since it's hard to get a well paying job without education, and education takes years to get.

Woah that got a bit serious. This is drunk thread guys. Drunk thread. We talk about XXYYXX and who has a better mustache.

Anyways, just bailed on the weird girl. Gonna take it easy tonight and play some Project Reality and drink the rest of my Blue Moons. The jewish girl just sent this pic of us a couple of days before Sandy. She looks pretty good (right). I've yet to get a haircut.

Don't you hate it when you have a lot of money to spend but can't think of anything good to buy? Life is so hard sometimes.

So, as it turns out, celebrating 21st birthday by yourself does not have to be depressing. (In Denmark, the age of adulthood is 18 - so not a significant birthday.)

Ordered takeaway delivery food, and did an experiment: mixing the cheapest whiskey available with cheapest vodka available. Turned out much less disgusting than expected; great tasting, and almost one of the better tasting drinks I've had in a while! Maybe I was just lucky?

Also, thanks god for Skype - socialising with people over video and chat actually compensates for badly timed solitary confinement. Long live our age of WWW!

Good to hear you made the best of it. I just got some more beer and chunky peanut butter it's Friday alright.

edit: Good looking gal Mully. She'll be pawing at the carpet when you tell her of your heroics.
