Weird weekend...I think I may still be on shock for the amount of opinions I shared with my parents...
My kitchen is being fixed so this weekend I went out for dinner with the 'rents. All was well until I started talking to my mother about my finantial life. I was saying once I paid the car I'd find a place and move out (we've had this conversation but I don't think she really believed it). Shock, disbelief, then it sinks in. I get the whole 'why, if you're alone' (Do I need to be with company?), 'with us you don't pay rent' (but I have to say where I'm going when I go out and I can't bring hot girls/guys home for a one night stand...if I want to...I might...or not, but that's beside the point), 'we'll be alone' (you're with each other?!!).
So now she knows for sure and make too much of fuss when it comes to it (specially 'cos I won't say anything until I've signed the lease!).
Parents are troubling and difficult to manage...you try it!
Yesterday came Religion (yes, with their caps). My father and I started discussing belief (or lack thereof), he was arguing but in a good way while my mother was shell-socked that I didn't believe in god (I stay home asleep while they go to sunday service...clue, anyone??). Then she said she paryed for me everyday... I was going to answer that but...she's my mother.
