My Parents

[deird_lj]

Honestly, my parents really can be amusing sometimes. After spending the last two years informing me that I absolutely must leave home before I'm 25, and if I haven't I'll come home to find all my belongings in the front yard, they are now starting to realise exactly what it will mean to have their "baby" gone.
Suddenly, I'm hearing a lot of "you can stay a bit longer if you'd like - it will help you to save money, and keep you in a nice neighbourhood, and it might be much better!"

Strangely enough, I've spent the last two years looking forward with dread to when I move out and have to pay rent, and just as people start wanting me to stay home, I'm getting more and more excited about leaving...

I find living at home somewhat handy. I'm a little undecided on what my mum actually wants me to do. If I moved out, she'll be a bit uneasy but as long as my brother is still living at home, I'll be fine. If my brother beats me to the punch, I'm pretty much boned.

Needless to say, my reasons for moving out are that of independence - and location. If I eventually get work in the CBD or surrounding areas (where most of the network engineering/telco/ISP jobs are), I'll be travelling one hour - each direction to work every day. That's two less hours I can spend drinking.. or sleeping. Plus the associated transportation costs.

I figure if mum wants to charge me board, the travel costs and the time would probably drive me either insane, or out of home.

But probably both.

I just need that full-time job first.
