My parents think I'm turning out like my sister!?!

Thank you everyone who has answered my question.

I have a roommate lined up, finances planed, an apartment picked out, and a full time job.

I pay for my own schooling, the only thing my parents will be paying is my car insurance. I pay for all repairs on my car.

like katycat said…they just want whats best for you… There’s 11 kids in my house and my eldest brother is 26 and lives at home! You should sit them down and work out a compromise

Sit your parents down and tell them that if they just need to trust you on this. Because your sister is not you, and they shouldn’t be so protective of you if you’re now an adult.

YOURE 18!!! YOU DONT HAVE TO LISTEN TO ANYONE!

You are 18 so you have the right to move out they can’t stop you, you are no longer a minor. If anything I would say talk to them and let them know your opinion on this. Then let them realize your not your sister you are you and you are not going to be like her cause your not her. I would for sure talk to them about it and let them know how you feel and that you are 18 and can make the choice for yourself.

They are just being parents…they want the best for you…at least they aren’t kicking you out…promise them if your grades slip you will move back…whose paying for college anyway? and those expenses where you’ll move? are you going to work and still go to school? these are lots of responsibilities for someone your age…good luck and I am glad someone like you has such initiative…

You are 18 if you think this is the right decision then go. Just make sure you have considered every detail, minor and major, before going. Make sure not to let yourself go once you do move, if that is what you chose. Your parents are just upset because they feel like they have failed your sister and don’t want to fail another child. Sit down with your mom one day and your dad another and talk with them. Normally talking to them individually eliminates stress off of you and them. Try with some different things. I hope everything works out fine.

umm if you are 18 you are able to make your own desitons no matter what so if you feel that you are able to move out with a friend than go ahead I told my mom that I was and she was like go for it but there are going to be some bumps in the road wehre you are not going to have anuff money some times to pay the bill s but you will always find ways good luck

your 18 just do what you want
