Today my parents laid the smack down. I guess you could say I have been mooching but I don't necessarily see it that way. First, let's back up to earlier today. I sat down with my parents while my dad let me know that I was now responsible for all of life's expenses.
"Jill, Mom and I have felt like we have enabled you a bit in the past and want you to become more independent."
Pushing 25 years old, I knew the day would come when my parents would realize how much they do for me. I was just hoping it would be a tad bit later. Like maybe when I was off of their insurance at 26. At the same time, it really does give me a sense of confidence knowing that I now have to provide for myself, completely. So when he told me I was to start paying for everything next month I had nothing to say. There were no questions or protesting because inside my mind the wheels were already turning. It felt right and I know my dad was inspired to lay down the line.
Now the pressure is REALLY on. Must. Find. Job.
Please tell me I don't have to resort to go into food service again. I'm at the point where I'll work wherever I can, but here's to hoping I can find something else.
