Current Events > I am sick of being a prisoner of my parents' house. I'm losing my fucking mind!

(+) Yeah! (+)

I can't go back to my apartment until like January 8 because my scholarship money for the next semester of school hasn't been dispersed yet. I've been here since December 17.

There's literally no furniture downstairs except some chairs in the kitchen because they threw out our old couches without bothering to buy new ones. I just stay in my room and I'm losing my mind. I go on drives to town sometimes to escape (we live in the country) but my car has poor gas mileage and I have so little money left as it is to be spending on joy rides.

Then there's my weird uncle who doesn't shower half the time and is sitting in the kitchen watching boomer YouTube out loud on his phone, every fucking day. Literally no idea why he's here all the time and I know nobody else in the house including my parents likes it but nobody does anything about it either.

For some reason the straw that's breaking the camels back right now is that someone bought fat free milk from the grocery store instead of whole. It's such a petty thing but goddammit I hate fat free milk. And I keep thinking of how if I was in my apartment right now and had money then I could buy any goddamn milk I pleased. I can't eat cereal or make hot chocolate or anything because the fuckin milk is wrong.

Also my computer setup is back at my apartment so all I really have is my phone and my Switch. I survived a while off Nocturne and 3D World but I finished both of them and I've about run out of shit to play it feels like.

I just wanna go back to school

I see

You could take up running

Get Slay the Spire on your phone

I was gonna suggest drinking, but this is a much more cost effective addiction. Not a card guy, but Slay the Spire is fucking fantastic. Switch version is fantastic too.

Do you have enough funds to buy a new game? If you like RPGs and if it's on sale, World of Final Fantasy Maxima is great.

Send your mom my way, I'll keep her entertained.

Damn I dont miss being a teenager

You wouldn't like her she just talks about her non profit and improving the diversity of local councils

heh, I know the type. Sorry you gotta deal with this, having no money is brutal but hopefully not much longer, just occupy your time with games or something, hell try to get a chess game going with your fam to get your frustrations out.

Lol not sure if you're using chess literally or metaphorically, I used to play in tournaments when I was younger and everyone in the house knows I'd smoke them

I meant literally, I have you tagged as chess enthusiast lol you can always give them ridiculous time control odds like 3 mins to their 30 mins

Dont cry over spilt milk; BUY YOUR OWN

My thoughts exactly. Why can your computer stay there, but you can't?

You could always promise to make some soup. That might lighten the burden.

There's no center within like 50 miles of my parents house sadly

Same except I've graduated I'm just a piece of shit that can't afford to move out so I'm just stuck here indefinitely for the foreseeable future

Are you like a freshman? Winter breaks are some of the best times I've ever had.

Regardless, this does reek a bit of privilege. People out here in NYC are having to live with parents into their 30s.

These two posters seem the same to me and I always get a laugh out of their depressed shtick.

I'm sorry and I don't want to be rude
But this is hilarious

"boomer youtube"??

If I lived in the country I would be out exploring the wilderness all day and meeting country girls that would be also exploring the wilderness as well.

Bored people are boring people, that's what my parents always said.

How do you feel about working?

So apparently my uncle is unemployed and probably won't be able to hold down a job again without several surgeries for a hernia and such. So theyre... moving him into the dining room? This all happened while I was sleeping this morning apparently but they cleaned out my mom's home office somehow and moved the big table and chairs into the living room. So he's just going to have an open concept guest bedroom with no doors I guess.

My mom had so much goddamn paperwork all over that room that I have no idea how they got it all cleaned.

That dining room is right next to the staircase my sisters and I have to use to go downstairs and that floor is super creaky.

Really glad to be moving back out in a couple days.

Sounds like you're making a big deal out of a minor inconvenience.
