Re: Do You Automatically Judge Adults

Sometimes I have a small kneejerk of "what, really?" but then I remember that if my job was near my parents, for one, FUCKING RIGHT I'd live there and be god damn happy about it. All the reasons for it have been listed, although honestly, in my case, if I was living with them I'd be the one helping more than them helping me. Fucking economy; I guess I'm the successful one in the family right now, making about $30,000 a year. Makes me depressed. But I'd be happy to help them out after EVERYTHING they've done for me.

Anyway OP, since I read your follow up, I have a small story I've been meaning to share with F!S because it pissed me off and I don't want the pity my friends would give me.

I lived with my aunt for a year after I got out of college before moving into my own place. My grandmother actually died about a month or into living with my aunt and working. I was in college for 4 years and lived with my parents in the summer and on campus otherwise. I worked in IT for two years during college.

Anyway, my mom told me that my grandmother had thought I needed to grow up. And it still hurts and pisses me off. I'm not 100% sure why she thought that. I'm sure the reasons are sexist. I was always told to go help with Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner when all the MEN never had to. I lived at home and then with my mom's sister (grandma was their mother), I went to college for 4 years instead of 2 like most of the rest of the women in the family, and, I dunno, maybe because I played on the computer and texted? Maybe because I lacked serious relationships? Either wasy, now that I'm living alone, in my own apartment, cleaning up after myself all the fucking time, I found myself thinking "fuck you, grandma, look how fucking adult I am now."
