That's what I thought!!
Amanda, hun, I feel your pain. My mom is every bit as psychotic as yours, if not more. I remember when I was 13 years old, I wasn't allowed to ride my bike past the stop sign at the end of the street... (our street only has 10 houses on it...) I thought "yeah, I'll be able to do whatever I want when I turn 18... it'll be great!!" Boy, was I wrong.
Ever heard "you live under my roof, you abide by my rules"? WOW. My mom treats that line like a prayer... I hear that every day. She's like the gestapo now. Worse than it was when I was 17. Except now, I pay rent and don't get free food and clothes anymore. I would move out and live with my boyfriend, but neither of us really has a stable job that pays enough... and since I'm in college, and SHE is paying for it, I really have no time to have a full time job anyway.
So I am STUCK. Stuck hearing "take out the garbage, do the dishes, vacuum the carpet, do the laundry", etc. etc.... stuff that I didn't used to have to do before I turned 18... and worse of all, "You're not allowed to spend the night at Anthony's house because that's disgusting and you're still a CHILD. You could get pregnant"
That's my favorite one.
So, just like you, I have to live with a psychopath. Just take my advice... Get a GOOD paying job, or make your boyfriend get a good paying job, and MOVE OUT AS SOON AS YOU TURN 18!!! Or you will never see the light!!
