*sighs* Moms

So it's 1:52 AM, and once again, my mom wants me to go bed.

I have to pick her up tomorrow from my aunt's around 4:00 PM. That's right. 4:00 PM! My God! I can sleep in until around 12:00 PM today if needed.

Calm down.

She wants what's best for you. Honestly, it'd probably be better if you did go to bed...

 

You really don't get it, do you? It's not hard to just do as you're told. Respect your mother and her wishes and go to bed.

 

Regular sleep is very good for you
he said at 2 in the morning working feverishly on a project

 

The same could be said to you. =P

But, anyway, I can understand it when I have to take to work in the mornings, but she doesn't get done at the ranch on weekends until around 4:00 PM. If I went to bed as late as 3:00 AM and slept until 12:00 PM, I'd be fine. That would be nine hours of sleep right there.[DOUBLEPOST=1365930045][/DOUBLEPOST]

I'm 21; I'm more than old enough to handle myself. Most kids start becoming independent around age 10 (staying home alone, etc.)

 

That is such a waste of a day.

She's your mother. She's not going to stop. Wanna know why? Because she loves you.

 

Considering it's not that often, not really. c:

 

Dude, stop now and you get the maximum payout!

 

Most 10 year-olds these days have pretty ****** parents.

 

What now?

I started staying home alone a little before. Are you calling my mom ******?

 

Are you a ten year-old these days?

You know, going to bed "early" sometimes couldn't hurt. Not every night needs to be a party. What's the problem with doing what is best for everybody every once in a while, rather than just yourself?

 

Amaury . . . 21. Most ten year-olds "these days" have pretty ****** parents. These days refers to the present, give or take a few years. You're out of range.

And I agree with Key, most kids do have ****** parents. I was always home alone as a child because my mom would rather go out drinking than spend time at home. That's probably one of the reasons I'm so screwed in the head, that and all the crap she's put me through. I'll admit, I've seen worse parents than her though. But seriously, if you have kids it's time to grow up. It's sad when you have children who become more mature than you at the age of . . . well, let's say ten. That's rediculous. You can't raise a kid if you want to act like one too.

21 is the rebellious age for you isn't it?

 

Honestly, I think you're addicted to the computer. If you can't even go to bed when asked, then you're CLEARLY addicted.

It doesn't hurt to do what your mom asks. It's a cruel world out there. You may think it's okay to stay up late, with no responsibilities right now, but one day, that luxury ends and you have to move out, live alone, and get a job.

I'd love to see you try to live alone right now, because while it does symbolize freedom, and you won't have anyone nagging you to go to bed, nobody will wake you up either. If you're constantly late to work, you'll get fired. So good luck in the real world.

 

Except I don't do it regularly. I go to bed between 12:00 AM - 1:00 AM normally, usually around 12:30 AM.

Sadly, I don't agree with a lot of this. Sorry, Nights.

Yes, kids can have ****** parents, but that's always been a possibility for however long we've existed. A kid staying home alone isn't (always) because of bad parents. When I stayed home alone, it was because my mom and dad worked (they were still married then). My dad had some bad drinking problems back then, and I once had to go with my mom and aunt to wherever they were going because he didn't show up to watch me one night. There was also a night where he was supposed to do the laundry at the laundry mat and didn't because he went to a friend's house to drink. My mom and I had to drive around the city / town in the Toyota and look for the Escort to get it so she could do it herself. However, I myself wouldn't really call that ****** parents because I still had my mom.[DOUBLEPOST=1365960486][/DOUBLEPOST]

No, I can get off.

For example, I'm not so addicted like that one kid that was brought up in a Current Events thread that passed out from three days (I believe it was three) straight of videos games where he didn't even notice things like bathroom urges. Additionally, it's not that I can't get off, it's that if I see a flaw in my mom's argument, I'm going to counter it.

 

Kind of mean . . . but This^

It's the harsh reality. Life sucks like a hoover vac. I got a job now working 3rd and I'd like to be able to sleep through the night. Standing on your feet for eight hours is definitely not fun. Sadly, without a good college degree, you won't find much work where you won't be standing. Thank god I'm looking into colleges.

Freedom isn't all it's cracked up to be. Of course, I don't like to be alone. It's really creepy and junk.

 

The first step to overcoming addiction is admitting that you have a problem.

 

. . . Perhaps I didn't clarify. She went out drinking EVERY night. It wasn't just occasionally here and there. The only time she stayed home was when she was too hungover to go out. But yea, that's not bad parenting. The only time I got to see her sober was when she got locked up for DUI. But yea, that's not bad parenting. And when I say I've seen worse, that must not be bad parenting.
