Already moved out.. Just didn't tell my mom about it yet...

Question

So here's the deal... Ive been looking for an apartment for months and i finally found one close to my university. Its Geat, Awesome view, and its totally convenient for me...

so here's the problem... i already moved in a few days ago. my mom doesn't even know about it. SO how do i go about telling her. She thinks that I've been staying at a friends house these past few days when really my friends has been living with me since i moved in...

so should i just tell her and leave?

get her a present and maybe she'll forget about it?

or is it about time for her to let her "little girl" go ahead and live life the way SHE wants it?

clearly i don't have a clue on what i should do..

so any suggestions?

Answer 1

just tell her randomly when you feel the moment it right

Answer 2

You should tell her in person that you wanted a place closer to your university.  So you started looking and found a great place and have been accepted.  Tell her that your friends have helped you move into it.  Then ask her to come see it.  If she sees that it's a nice place and safe then she shouldn't be too upset about it.  You aren't going to live with her forever.

You can buy her a gift but that won't make her forget about you moving out.

Answer 3

Next time you drop in to share dinner with your parents... make it a point to give her back the keys to the house. Hint, hint!

Invite your parents over to your new place for dinner. Hint, hint!
