I just a new job but I don't know how to tell my mom?

Before anyone thinks evil things, I’m 21 years old and I just got a job at my friend’s mom restaurant. I had no previous experience except for one job when I was 16. The reason I never had a job since then, my mom was against me working while in college full time. Now I have a less of a load at school and didn’t want to just stay home. How do I tell my mom that I got a job even if she is against me working?

BTW: I do still live at home, rent free and don’t pay for anything except for bill that I pay with child support money that I still receive from my dad since I’m still in college. I just don’t want to seem spoiled. Is that wrong of me?

Answer #1

By you working that would prove to your mother that your ready to be independant not thats thats wrong. Plus you 21 dude spread your wings and fly man.

Answer #2

no, you need real life experience, im turning 18 soon and my mom just gripes at me for not having a job, but refuses to take me to get applications. I cant drive because we cant afford for me to get my license. so you are very lucky. keep it for a while first. and after a few months of being responsible by working and going to school, tell her. use that as proof that you can handle it.
