This reminds me of an episode I saw of Titus years ago.
Give her another 2 or 3 years. This passes. I promise.MysticalMom said:
i'm only 19, and i'm in no rush of moving out, and my parents are in no rush of me moving out. i have a job on base, i could probably afford a place on my own with friends, but rather stay home and save money. months ago i though about moving out with my girlfriend at the time, moving to mississippi with her, but damn i'm glad i didnt!!

I was 16 myself and nearly as big as I am now. My dad didn't say a word, he just lifted me off the ground by the front of my jacket and simply ignored all my punching, kicking and yelling. He didn't set me down until I stopped moving and yelling. My dad was a large man but until that point I'd never realized just how powerful he was.
I didn't. I left home the minute I turned 18 and never looked back. Have been self-supporting ever since.Qurious said:
My son left home at 18 (5 years ago) and I don't see him ever moving back home. For one thing, he's married. For another, he's got an excellent job and loves it in Texas.
19 year old daughter lives in Nebraska and I'll bet she'd rather chew her arm off than come back home and give up her independence. She likes having her own place and doesn't even have any roommates.

No Longer the Kid
I came back because at the time, I had a good job, but with paying for school, and a place to live, truck insurance, bills and all that... I just couldnt do it..so I moved back home for a little while, got myself straight, and havent looked back since 20....
Actually, I drop-kicked them out the door. But they did fly!Wenchy said:

Neither or them wanted to go to college?vraiblonde said:
My son went into the Army and my daughter went to college for a year and flunked out - she just wasn't ready and we were stupid to send her to a high-distraction school like that. She says she's going to enroll at UNL, but she likes her job and her life, and isn't sure what she wants to do.sushisamba said:
Plenty of time...:shrug:

Sure...just curious. I desperately want mine to go to college and they're only 6 (almost 7). PLENTY of time still but that's my expectation and I wonder how I will feel if they decide to do something differentvraiblonde said:

In the beginning you'll feel frustrated and disappointed, just like I did...until I heard stories like vrai's, and another friend who both have daughters who flunked out of first year after tons of money being dumped on it. Now I feel pretty good about my daughter's decision to put off college for a while.

Ok. Hope you're around in 11 yearselaine said:
I definitely have a different perspective now, that's for sure.elaine said:
#2 is so ate up with college (she's a Junior this year) that she's practically making herself sick. She's into that whole "college as the goal" thing, instead of "college as a path to a goal" the way it should be.

There were alot of times that I wanted to take a swing at my mom, but as soon as I got stronger than her my father made it clear that if I ever touched her that I would have to deal with him. So........
