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!

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
