Hello everybody,
OK, I have a question for everyone; I just want your thoughts/opinions on this. I'll try to explain everything and sum it all up so it won't be so long: Here goes :D I am 19 y/o. I w/ to school kindergarten-6th grade, then 7th-12th I was home schooled (because I wanted to be, it was my choice) so I guess you could say I didn't hang out w/ kids my own age like I would have if I had been in school. I wasn't 'not' around kids I mean I had friends I went places with, just not all the time.. I mainly have stayed home a lot and helped my mother w/ things and she adopted my brother's 3 y/0 daughter a few years ago and I help take care of her alot. So my life has been here w/ my family for a while now.
I'm not complaining at all, I chose this and I have had a good time and I love my family to death. Every family has their problems and so do we but I wouldn't ever change anything as far as going to school and not staying home.
But now I am ready to get a job and get a car, I am like dying for my own car!! anyone knows that feeling that hasn't had one... or wants one....
Anyways we are moving soon and it will be about a month or two before we are moved, my mom has asked me to please wait about a job until after we move so I can stay here and help her get things ready to move,etc.
So I said ok, fine I will and I plan to, but here's something else that bothers me. I have met a goy that I like a lot, he works at a store not far from our house, and when I told my mom about him to see what she thought she told me that she just didn't know about him. He is a realy nice guy and very friendly. He is a year younger than me though but I don't see anything wrong w/ that, do you?? I mean is it wrong for a guy to be a year younger than you??? My mom says it is becasue he is probably too immature....but how do you know things like that until you get to know a person??
And then she said she didn't ever think there would ever be anyone that she woulld totally approve of for me, I mean what is she trying to do?? Is she afraid for me to start going out w/ guys??? It's not like I want to marry this guy, it's just I would like to maybe go out to a movie or to the mall, nothing big just like hang out like a boyfriend and girlfriend do.
I just don't know what to do, I have tried talking to her about it but it's weird to talk to her about guys and stuff cause that's like one of the last things she wants to think about...like my going out w/ a guy) So is my mom just too overly protective???? Is this normal???? Should I just be nice and try to forget about this guy or what? I just feel like she might be trying to treat my like a baby since she knows I'm getting older, I mean I know I'm only 19 but you guys understand don't you? It's not like I want to run away and get married.... LOL.
Does anyone else have this problem?? What would you do?? How do yuo feel about this does anyone have any advice??
I also hope it's alright I posted about this here but I guess it is since it's General. Thanks everyone....
