For the past couple of months my parent have been all over me about school, job, and what is to become of me. all they talk about is goin to college and making lots of money so i can buy a house and settledown in the burbs just like they did. but i looked at the way they live everyday they wake up and go to a job they hate and come home and sleep. Thats not what i want with my life. I would rather see the world and discover who i am. I don't know how to break it to them that i am goin to live my life the way i want to. I am a little worried that if i do that they will never talk to me again or consider me their "loser son." so how do i go about living my life the way i want and keeping myself on my parents good side?
well, how are u gonna "live your life the way u want to"? u can decide not to have career plans, but u probably do have an idea about how u'll eat and survive.. maybe if u tell them how thats gonna work, and its plausible, they'll trust u and decide that u're able to make your own decisions
You need $$$ to do that. They're bugging you because they want you to make your own money since you're nearing the time when you should be moving out of the house. They don't want to be paying your bills while you go out to "discover yourself" because for every hour that you're out in Europe masturbating and drinking pina coladas and just generally being selfish, your dad has to spend 2 hours in a crumby office to pay for your vacation and his future retirement.
LMAO Don't worry about what they think of you. When you turn 25 or so you'll get your sht straight (or stay poor forever), either way they'll be happy if your still talking to them by then. If not, screw em.
