You're obviously responsible enough, you're in college. You've been working all year, so what's a little break?

Though I appreciate what my parents do, its especially hard this summer since my mom is RETIRED! But at least now I can say that I am working whenever she bugs me about something (since right now I have less time on my hand than she does, and she's the one that's relaxing more)

I feel I have completely grown up more now and understand them and no longer behave like a teenager. And what's more they have a new found respect for me now which I love because I can speak with them on the same level. They know that I can look after myself. I mean I have survived two years looking after myself. i have a full time summer job so I do earn my wage and try not to pester them. It's been harmonious thus far. Fingers cros it stays that way because I am rather unpredictable at times lol

Maybe we should all laugh a bit instead of hating on the writer.

I just found this website btw, and it's really very accurate to all my thoughts…

Today was mad crazyness at my house. I just finished my freshman year so I am home. I was given the opportunity to move across the state to live with some of my friends (ALL my friends actually live in that town), and my mom begged me to stay here with her, because she loves me and misses me.

As much as I love and miss her, and we get along fine, and she doesn't impose much upon me (besides the whole waking up early thing), she and my brother create much friction and drive me up the wall!!!

Needless to say, next summer I am definitely going to take that opportunity for free housing with my friends… while I was at school my relationship with my mom was much better, and I see no reason why this shouldn't continue into the summer.

Yes I thank my parents for partially financing my college education but at the same time I'd like them to back off a bit.

I subletted summer honors housing from a young couple at another college. They were going out of state for the summer, so I just paid their rent and moved right in. Used their dishes and everything, it was pretty awesome.

I worked for the custodial and maintenance teams on campus that summer– thus the "different campus" part, so profs wouldn't get used to seeing me take out their trash. I had parties, brought my then-fiance in for a week, and treated the custodial team to freezer pops every time we drove past my apartment.

And you know what? My relationship with my mom improved tenfold. We called each other twice or three times a week to gab, catch up, brag about clothing sales and jerks put in their places, and I never once had to tell her that I'd only just now hopped out of bed– or that there was still a man in it.

I can't recommend this quite hard enough.
