blahblahr Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Recently, my family and i have been getting in fights. I moved across the country to my sisters house. I have everything being paid for me. They bought a classic car, they pay for my living, gas, food, clothes, insurance, school, and they give me money. They pay for everything i don't do anything, I just watch her 4 kids, cook, clean, and go to school. Since i was little my family has given me everything i want. I wanted my parents to drive a certain car when i was little and they went out and bought that car. I wanted to travel so they would take me traveling.... The point is that i'm spoiled and i don't want to be anymore. I have got everything that i have ever wanted in life handed to me, but i never got family support on things. there was no one to take care of me, i took care of myself and everyone else. I was only financially taken care of. Everything i learned i taught myself. Now i'm in college and i want to work and earn some money of my own. i want to be able to say that i worked to pay for something. My family doesn't think that its the time yet for me to go off on my own. they told me that i need them in their life and that i wouldn't be anything without them. They told me that i wouldn't graduate or have a career. They kicked me out... I'm a freshmen in college and living in a different state... Do i talk to them and fix things or do i prove them wrong and live on my own? i want to prove them wrong and show them how independent i am. I can stop shopping for one day, i can cut down going out, i can cut down on buying stuff. I know its going to be hard, but i have friends that will help me. I have came up with a plan, but i don't know if i should go through with it! Any advice? Link to post Share on other sites
turnera Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I'm confused. They think you can't do it on your own, so they kicked you out? Link to post Share on other sites
Author blahblahr Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 They kicked me out to teach me a lesson. they think i can't do anything on my own. But they want me to come back so they can control my life and everything i do. They pick everything for me when it come to school. I have to go in the medical field and i have to go to a good school. They look at my grades constantly and always check if i have homework and if i did it. I'm in college now i can be on my own now... Link to post Share on other sites
turnera Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 So, you're about 18? Well, you can do one of two things. One, you can just move OUT of your sister's house, get a job at McDonalds (since you have no skills and they're the only people who will hire you), move into a slum in the middle of drugland, and TRY to stay in school... Or you can act like the mature person you think you are and do the SMART thing, and STAY at your sister's, FINISH school (but take what YOU want to take), take a side job and SAVE the money so that you'll have money to move into your own place when you graduate, and prove to everyone that you have what it takes to survive.

turnera Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 For a wakeup call, how about this: aside from rich people (which I assume you are), do you realize how many 'normal' people get to live at ANY point in their life without worrying about how to pay for groceries, insurance, gas? Maybe 1 in 10,000. If they're lucky. Now is not the time to be ungrateful. If you don't want to talk to them about your school, or grades, don't talk to them. But don't throw it all away - what everyone else would KILL to have - just because you don't feel like you're being respected. Here's a great way to be respected - use your spare time to volunteer somewhere. Helps someone (or something) else, and helps you mature and grow and learn - and look good.
