I’m 19, a full time student, working two jobs, and still live at home because I can’t afford to get a place with my boyfriend yet. I have two brothers in high school and my mom is still treating me like I’m younger than I am. I understand the “my roof my rules”, I’m respectful of it but there’s certain things that I’m tired of. I’m not allowed to sleepover my boyfriends more than one night a week, and even one night is an issue, I have to be home by 10pm on week nights because that’s the time my brothers go to bed, and I just bought a fancy mouse because I’ve been really wanting a small pet and she doesn’t want me getting a dog or cat. But she said that I can’t have my mouse either, and I don’t want to keep him at my boyfriends because I don’t want him to have to take care of it. We already have a dog together and she lives with him. I’m just sick of my mom’s rules. I don’t feel like I’m independent in a lot of ways because of her strictness. Her whole family notices and anytime someone says something to her she gets mad.
