like i shouldn’t be cleaning your dishes you left because you assume ill do them, i shouldn’t have to tell them where im going every time i leave the house (almost always school or work, then they need to know every detail if im going somewhere with tentative plans so i just make shit up because i’m already late), i shouldn’t have my car be the back up car or be asking me for rides just because they don’t plan to get a rental or have any other plan for themselves, like! i could go on its useless

Having strict parents and being in college while still living at home lmao 😭

oh and there’s currently strangers in my home because my mom likes to invite her friends over whenever stepdad is working in person so i can’t get a fucking moment of privacy on one of the few days my stepdad isn’t working from home. i just need my personal space and independence from their constant presence so bad

also their arguing is my alarm maybe 5 out of 7 days of the week, for some reason they see my door cracked at 7am (only for my cat) and think it’s a perfect time to argue in the hallway outside of my room HELLO

I just moved out and my parents still use me as a backup. I hope you get the freedom you deserve! 🩷

I had to lie about spending the night at my boyfriend of 3 years house last night, I’m 20 like what do you want from me also like he’s at his parents house???? It’s not just us there???

My family could not understand why I wanted to struggle and pay rent rather than live back home. They’re annoying asf and don’t even realize it. A lot of parents just don’t respect the time of their children because in the past they never truly had to.

This is exactly why I moved out!! Love my family so much but just needed to be independent! Truly the best decision I’ve ever made

When I finally moved out I got bitched out for not calling home often enough. And my dad said he knew that this would happen but yet he doesn’t reach out to me I have to call him.

i used to pay $1500 in rent and work two jobs to basically live at my moms house. my sibling always got a pass on never getting a fucking job and i was a full time student working my fucking ass off. and yet when i jumped at my first opportunity to move out my mom was shocked

AMMMMMEEEEEENNNNNNN THIS IS MY LIFE STORYYYYYY

Literally

This is exactly why I dorm. They treat me like a maid it’s so exhausting. I can’t even focus on my school work when I’m home. Best of luck to u friend

Moving away was the best thing that happened to my relationship with my family. They appreciated me so much more now bc they saw how much I work and kept that house a float.

5

We have an available room

real, i just can't afford to. i can't work right now so i don't have enough income to pay rent elsewhere, and can't take out any more loans to dorm

3

That’s why I live on campus I just can’t do it. I know it is way more expensive but my mental health literally suffers at home no joke. And I get nothing done

2

This is so real like everyone expect me to do everything and when I say I’m tired and need a break suddenly they are lie what do you even do that you get tired and not to mention when my siblings makes a mess I’m the first one my mom is Blaming and saying you shouldn’t make mess and then expect me to clean the whole house
