I often wonder why family, the ones we don't choose, are sometimes the most annoying and aggravating people on the face of the planet. Why are we given no choice but to be around these people?

Sorry if any of my posts seem weird, I'm in a ranty mood tonight. NDN is helping, thanks guys for letting me just vent in my own way.
Tay you are still very young and are at the age of young people who are ready to leave the nest. When this happens it is possibly the most important thing on the mind. And the more you near to leaving the harder it is for parents to accept this. Some parents have a very hard time letting their children go. Allowing them the space to be independent and young adults. I promise you that someday you will understand. You will be able to look back at all the aspects of this situation and understand what or why it is happening. Especially when you are a mother. I am not saying that you will totally agree with it all even then but you will understand it. It will all work out for you just hang in there, and you can trust me as I have left home and remember that time in my life nonetheless I am a mother who's children are young adults that have left home to be on there own. (But one of them is back) And I realize it was nice when she was gone. Just kidding, hahaha!

You are a young adult now they will realize that in time. On the lighter side of things, you know your mom is a judge. That should tell you she is very used to making the decisions and them being final. No if, and, or buts lol. You will figure out a way to make her realize that you are capable of making your own decisions. She may not like them but that's life and they will eventually get over it.
