LOL put locks on all the cabinet doors and safety plugs in all electrical sockets, then get on your knees and whatever you can see, they will grab and put in their mouth, oh wait, you said mom-proof not child-proof LMFAO my bad. Yea I've been on my own since I was about 16, I moved out and roommated with a friend for a while, she was older in her 20's, a single mom, and she didn't charge me much, I just had to pay for food and I would babysit her kid anytime she needed a break, that was how I paid her basically to stay, oh and I cleaned the apartment. I just didn't do her or her child's laundry or dishes, but everything else I did. Then I moved out of there and in with my at the time boyfriend at almost 17 cause I was preggers with his baby. I got with him when I was 15. But yea, so I think my mom knows better. Eventhough I'm 22 I have a child, I'm married and been on my own for 6 years now. So she isn't as nosey. She doesn't really care what I do as long as I'm happy, my marriage is working and my son is okay. You need to pretty much stand up for yourself or she will continue to treat you like that. Even if she is still supporting you in a way, you are still an adult. Like I discussed with my hubby, when my son turns 13 or 14 we're going to have the talk about sex and encourage him that if he does do anything, which I'm sure he will saying he won't is ignorant, to use a condom, and I'm going to tell him that there will be none of it going down under my roof, period, but if he does do it and gets a girl preggers, he will be responsible. I'm not a babysitter, I'm not raising a child that is not mine, and he will get a job AND go to school to support it, no ifs ands or buts. I had a job at 15 and pretty much supported myself, so no excuses. At 17 I took care of myself and my son and finished school. But yea, once my son is 18 I will consider him an adult and treat him like one, but before then I won't. So I think since your mom doesn't have the same mindset... you need to put your foot down and let her know... hey, I'm an adult, yea I'm going to school to make something of myself but that's no reason for you to treat me like a child. Hope she doesn't throw away your NBE stuff next time! LOL good luck!
