Oh brother… I mean MOTHER…

“You’re going where? With who? How many friends do you even have?!”

First of all, if you’re sick of having your mother ask you where you’re going when you leave the house at 10pm, it’s time for you to move out (someone has to tell you!). Living at home is so not a thing if it’s bringing you to the brink of insanity (or you’ve reached your mid-twenties).

And if you are still living at home, you better have a good excuse (“my house is 5 minutes to work” or “I live in the basement suite anyway!”) and no reason to complain (no one wants to hear you say, “Lame. I totally didn’t want the lasagna my mom cooked and had ready for me when I got home from work” – it’s not a thing). Getting your meals cooked, laundry cleaned and never having to lift a toilet bowl brush – you’re spoiled rotten, so deal with it – is a luxury very few of us enjoy so you don’t need to rub it in!

So the next time you want to scream at your mother for doing exactly what mothers do, remind yourself that it’s likely your choice for still being at home. And if you don’t live at home and still have this problem, then lie and don’t tell her. Ignorance is bliss right? Growing up: it’s a thing. ^B
