I am 21 years old, and I went away for school for a few months when I first graduated high school. Then, I came back to live with my parents because my mom got sick, and I needed to come take care of her (because my father is only concerned with work, smoking, and gambling). I'm only staying here while I finish up school now. There are no dorms. I'm going to the cheapest school I could find since I'm paying for it myself.
I don't have much of an option, though. I only have a part time job because part of my parents' deal for letting me stay here is that I have to babysit my nephew almost every day (and my sister does not pay me). I am saving up every ounce of money I get. I'm buying the cheapest food and clothing I can find. The issue is that I cannot get a full time job to save up money so I can move out because I have to babysit all the time. I don't even have a social life.
I clean their house all the time, I don't touch their stuff, I babysit like they ask me to, and yet every time one of them gets just a little pissy about anything that's going on in their lives, they're telling me to move the f**k out.
How do I get them to stop that!?
By the way, I know my mom would never throw me out, but my father and I are anything but close and he's doing everything he can to try and get her to kick me out onto the street.
