To go home or not....
VSG on 03/13/12
So I went to lunch with my mother today we went to the grand opening of Tim Hortons today they just put one here in Clio. And I LOVE Tim Hortons more than any other fast food place. I can actually choose half decent stuff there. Like their sandwiches on wheat and what not but that's besides the point oh...I had chili! Yum. Anyways I asked my mom if I could come back home. She said yea I don't have a problem with it you practically still live there you're there all the time. Which is true. She said all of my furniture can go into the garage and we still have to figure out about the kitten cuz I told her I can not give it away. I refuse. So next month I will be back home. I will have more control I hope with my food. I probably wont go back to school until winter...which is in a couple of months I want to save up some money first which wont take long I make a good amount these days.
I will be searching schools that have night classes for part time. I have finished part of my hours for Cosmetology school which follow me for 7 years which is good so I can just pick up where I left off. While I am going to school I will be saving the rest of the money basically so as soon as I graduate from Cosmetology I will take my State Boards test get a job at a salon and stay at this job I have now until I have clientel. Then I should have enough money....I will buy a house. I am not sure how long it will take me to finish school. 6-9 months? Not sure. But everything should go by quickly and as soon as I am done i am back on my own. :) So I think this is best for me. This will put me into my career and my life....at home I will not go out to eat as much. I am going to make better choices at home. I am still battling now but I think it might be a little easier at home. Hopefully. I can walk my dog :) or maybe even my cat lmao. They make cat leashes....lol.
I didn't get here on time to jot a note with my opinion PRIOR to your decision BUT... personally, I think you are making a wise choice.
I can understand 100% what neecee is saying though... but if you go home and treat your parents with respect and sort of help out here and there... do your own laundry, keep up after yourself etc. etc., what a GREAT opportunity you have! You have a LONG life before you and to forfeit ONE year (or whatever?) of 100% freedom.... what a TRADE! No bills... NO real responsibility of your own home etc. And, when your done- you'll be on your feet! Ready to face the world with an education, a good job.... and good credit!
I would LOVE to have my dd come home for a time to get herself settled into a good situation... school etc. I have 3 grown children (31, 22 & 20) and my 20 year old dd is just going down the wrong path. She will NOT NOT NOT come home- she would stay at whatever friends she could- to not have to come home. It breaks my heart but? She won't look into school, she works as a clerk in a video store... parties WAYYY to much- wreaks of weed a LOT. At least now though, she has rented a low income apt with a friend who has a baby so she now HAS a place.
The reason WHY she won't come home- and the reason she left home right after graduation is because we can't allow her to go out and party (& come home messed up) etc., we insist she CALL and let us know if she is not coming home etc.
I know she is 20, but we still have a 13 & 6 y/o in the home and we just don't want them to be subject to seeing this sort of thing. And being a mom who has lost one kiddo already- I know what CAN happen... I don't care if she stays out but I want to know not to expect her home so we don't worry.
It can be a GOOD thing- but the RESPECT on both ends has to be in place.
Congrats on your decision!!!!
