Late night job not so cool with the parents?

Question

I'm 19 years old and am still living with my parents (not by choice trust me) and I've just got a night job (working from about 7-12) which they don't like. I want to move out but in the last few months I've had troubling problems with depression and anxiety and stuff so they're still in wrapping-me-in-cotton-wool mode and aren't too keen. I got this job out of a huge group of people and they've been hassling me to get a job and I really wanted this one, but they just want me to have a normal day job and are all blahhh about it.

What do you think I should do? Opt for moving out (which is very possible for me financially) and it would mean I'd have more time with my boyfriend, or should I just bite the bullet and put up with their c**p?

Answer 1

I think you should move out. I am 21 and I live by myself... I moved out to get a place with my boyfriend when I was 19 .. and then recently he just moved out..I get lonely sometimes.. but I have a way better relationship with my parents now then I ever did when I lived there, and you are alot less stressed out about things when you don't have to answer to them anymore. Good luck!

Answer 2

The answer is obvious. Since you have the money and will to move out, then go for it. It might be the best thing you ever do!

Answer 3

Answer 4

yes, i think you should move out...

Answer 5

I've always felt that if a kid is living with their parents, they've got to respect their rules, but I have also felt that the area where parents should not be able to interfere with their kids' lives, is, that they shouldn't be able to stop them from being responsible and getting a job and becoming financially independent. Seriously, no one should be able to hold you back from that. I regret letting my parents hold me back from getting a job for so many years, I wanted to work starting at age 14, they wouldn't let me work until I was 18, and that first job was a disaster, I wasn't mature enough because I hadn't experienced the job market from an earlier age. Believe me, I love and respect my parents but I thought that was a big mistake that they made.  

Answer 6

if the job is at a convenient store, i would have to side with them, it would be so dangerous, unless you are behind a bullet proof window & you are armed.

I know from my own experience, living with parents can get draining when they smother you to a degree. if you have the money to move out, it wouldnt hurt to. You can always speak to them about this and tell them you will still be around but youre at an age where you want some more independence. if they  are really worried they will at least leave the door open for if it doesnt work for you and you need to move back in.  it gives you purpose doing something you want to do and earning money is great. at the end of the day you are old enough to see sense and make your own choices so while your parents are obviously worried, they also need to give you space to decide for yourself. life is about learning and experiencing things and if you feel emotionally up to experiencing something new, even if theres a risk it doesnt work for you, then go for it!!
