Just One Of Those Days
The day just started out sucking for me. I went to inquire about the photography classes that I was considering and have since decided against doing any of them.
Reason for this is because the first one was full, the second one is focused highly on studio lighting; think wal mart/sears portrait studio and well the third one is basically a mock wedding and I take photos of people then someone goes over pricing, packages, contracts, etc. It just didn’t sound right and I don’t want to drop money on something I’m not sure about.
This evening at dinner my sister started something and even thou I’ve heard my dad make comments in the past about how at the age of 30 he’s pretty much kicking us out or charging us like $500 in rent a month, I just couldn’t really stand to hear it again so in the middle of dinner; after eating only like 2 spoons of food I just got up and left the table and went to have a shower.
On top of how I already feel in regards to the whole kyle incident I just started to feel worse and the shower seemed like the best place to be at that moment. Too bad it was short lived. I can only hid in the shower for so long.
For now I’m trying to not really think about it, since there really isn’t anything I can do. I am working on some sort of plan to get my OSAP paid off sooner this way I can start dumping money into savings for my own place. Thankfully my europe trip is pretty much paid off. Once I transfer this months $1,000 I should be okay. I won’t have the $6,000 that I wanted but I have more then I need to pay for the trip itself and have a little bit of spending money.
Tomorrow’s another day. I have plans to hit the gym so that should be good.

Wow your parents seem great to let you stay till your 30! I was out at 17, and my 19 year old brother pays 150 a month rent to my parents! Your parents seem understanding forsure!
Heya Erica! I would say you are damn lucky to have parents who are saying you have to be out by 30 or start paying up. Most ‘oldschool’ parents are the type who boot their kids out when they hit 16 or 18. I’d say your ‘rents are being pretty good for letting you stay under their roof so long while you get your finances in order.
You have to respect that eventually, they would like to enjoy their home all to themselves, so they can walk around buck ass naked and whatever the hell else parents do that no one wants to know about. As much as they love you, there’s a point where they want to see you spread your wings and GTFO.
I guess I’m saying just look on the bright side and be happy you have such supportive parents even though you aren’t seeing it that way at the moment. But, c’mon… when I hear about 30 year olds living with their parents, I automatically think ‘loser’ and ‘creepy’. You really don’t want to be living with your rents at 30 still!
Cheer up buttercup!
Leanne – it will be 2 years this August that I’ve been out of school. It’s not really the money that annoyed me it’s the things that my dad said. Him and my mom were married at 19/20 and had kids at 25 so my dads old school and thinks that all the kids should have been gone when we turned 25. He knows I’m paying off my debt but by 30 he thinks its time we leave. Granted I would love to be gone by 30, hell I would like to be gone now, but it’s not possible and It just stresses me out to know now that there is this time hanging over my head. I know things change all the time, but I just hate how he has to like throw it in my face.
Rachie – I can’t wait for the trip, honestly it’s like counting down the days.
I’m dealing with the same crap from my parents about living on my own, etc, once I’m done with school. I guess more so because I’m married (my husbands been lazy lately and doesn’t want to get a big boy job with his degree…) so I’m thankful that they’re letting stay in their house but we all knew how long we needed to stay here. That timeline hasn’t changed yet all they talk about is when we finally move out. UGH!
I hope things get settled for you. I know your trip is going to be a great release.
How long have you been out of school if you don’t mind me asking? Haven’t you only been out for a little while? If that’s the case, then obviously you’re going to need a little time to get your finances straighten out. I’m sure your parents understand that, but I also understand why you would get annoyed. It’s frustrating sometimes, especially to hear it during a shitty week
Hope this week is much better to you!
