Mothers...So Darn Pushy
I love my mom to death but she is so pushy. All my life I've done things her way just so she would stop nagging me. Sometimes...ok, maybe most of the time she has been right but sometimes you need to make your own mistakes to really understand it's significance.
I'm currently apartment hunting. I am soooo not interested in this place she's suggesting I live at. Now, the apartment, for practical purposes, is perfect. The rent's cheap. The place has security, the complex is newly renovated, in house laundy facility, and an in house grcoery store. What's the problem you ask? Well, why would an apartment so perfect be so cheap? Yes, you got it, it's the area! The apartment is a gated community in the middle of the inner city (the city will remain nameless). Yes, I'm more embarrassed by the location of the apartment than anything else. It's trivial, I know. You have this great and affordable apartment and you're willing to pass it up because of where it's located? My answer: Hell, yeah. I'm the one who's going to live in it! When getting an apartment, it has to satisfy most, if not all of you're main requirements? Well, this apartment does not.
My mother's advice: Take the apartment now and when school is over and you're well into your career get whatever you want.
My point: I'm the one who'll be paying for MY apartment now AAAAAND when i get out of school so why should I settle for something I don't want when I can continue to look for an apartment I do.
I have an August deadline. She's not getting her way this time! No way, no how, not happening!

Very nice site! » »
Mothers are so darn pushy! Thats funny considering, mothers spent 9 months with swollen feet and aching back and then had to PUSH to retreive her baby from the womb and into her arms. YOur mother is trying to guide you though she may be crossing the line she only has your best interest and future in mind.
Ley her push one day you will wish she was here psushing and on that day you may look at your child and push....
Blessings
