My Parents Spoil Me, Get Over It

Why we shouldn't hate kids who are spoiled by their parents

OK, I pretty much get what I want almost all of the time. My car is paid for. I do not have to pay for car insurance. In fact, I don't think I really pay for anything at all. I don't pay a dime for rent. My parents also have allowed my boyfriend to live with me. We have been together for four years and have lived together almost the majority of our relationship. All of this sounds unusual, right? Not so much.

Why struggle? I seriously do not understand this. Why would I want to be in a rush to move out so quickly from my parents' house? Both of my parents see NO problem with my boyfriend and I living under the same roof as them. Both of them have the same point of view when it comes to raising their kids; why watch them struggle like we did? Call it being privileged.

Call it WHATEVER you want. My parents want me to be the happiest I can be. I am choosing to work and save money at the same time so that I can make it on my own one day. They don't want me living paycheck to paycheck. They don't want to have me to have to apply for government assistance like they had to, or perhaps scrape change for a car payment, mortgage, or whatever the case may be. Any parent should want better for their children than what they have, no matter how good/bad they had it growing up!

Now lets not get the situation messed up. I save money. I save plenty of money. I work a lot for what I do have. I would absolutely love to be independent and start a family one day. However, If push ever came to shove, I have a great support system.

I have a few words for those who dislike my situation or say that I should be more of an adult by now build a bridge, and get over it!

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
