At some point you're expected to grow up and assume some personal responsibility. Instead of waiting for mommy to tell you to lock the door, why not lock the damn thing of your own free will?
Good luck in the real world.
I've already came to facts that I will have to grow up and assume personal responsibility, but I'm taking a break from the high school drama and starting my work/college life. I've dealt with enough drama from school & home, so I wanted to get my mind relaxed and fixed before assuming a work position. I do lock the door on my own self, but she would come in half of the time screaming at me for locking the door. Besides, I've already fixed my schedule of sleeping during the day and staying up all night, but it would be nice to let your kids know where you are... if something happened.
My mom refuses to let me do my own laundry when I'm at home. And I'll be 21 soon
Hell, my mother doesn't even want me near my clothes; however, I do most of the chores around the house.
I think part of it might be from her thinking you're "old enough to take care of yourself" (sounds kinda cliche, I know) and assumes that you would be fine if she just left to go somewhere and/or wouldn't care much anyway. Might be making an assumption on her part, but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen someone's parent do that for that reason.
Can understand from that argument, but what would happen if the house caught on fire and they need to know her whereabouts? I'm trying to contact her and she's not answering her phone. I think she should let me know where she goes, because at least I can definitely rely it to other people if they're asking where she is. Kinda difficult to tell someone that they don't know where their parents went and they're left home alone.
