Hopefully it's just the stress she's under and she doesn't really mean it. Sorry you're going through what you are, I hope things all work out for you. Have you tried applying for jobs?  |

I've applied for several jobs. And now that it's almost summer, a lot of places are losing employees that are college students, so it shouldn't be too hard to find one. It's just stressful.

i can understand it being stressful for her.. she is working her buns off and feeling overwhelmed have you tried to sit down and talk to her and tell her you will try to help with the home expenses(i honestly have met many parents who start asking for a small amount of rent from thier children if they choose to live at home after they graduate.. to teach them responsability) that might take some stress off her.. as for the job i suggest copying 200 resumes and blanket the town with them(not literly but go to every business and apply and repeat it every week) and hopefully you should start getting call backs within a few weeks  |

I feel bad that your mom is going about things this way. You should really try to find a roomate to help with money. Get a part time job, maybe waitressing or bartending. You can make decent money that way, and go ahead with college. It will be difficult, but dont lose sight of your dreams.You will have a lot of pride in your future accomplishments. I wish you the best.  |

maybe you should find a friend to stay with for a while, get a job and start saving money and give a little to their family as a rent payment and wait until you have enough to rent an apartment and maybe then you can get a roommate to help out to  |

sit with your mom and ask if there is some solution that you could come to. Maybe if you offer to do housework and get a part time job to contribute to the family. Show her that you are willing to work on this.  |

Try babysitting, that way you can study when the children are sleeping, etc. and you can continue school and still get payed. Maybe dog walking? Umm.. You can try to get a job and McDonalds, even if it is just on the weekends. You could do yardwork for neighbours.. But start a bank account that you can take the money to, so that you can take away the risk of getting it stolen... But the best thing to do is to calm down, and make a list of the job possibilities, and things you need to do, etc. Sometimes getting everything down on paper so that you know exactly what you have to do helps with the stress of it all.  Good luck, please keep us posted! *hugs*  |

apply for jobs, keep applying, don't give up... come to some kind of agreement with your mother, try and support yourself, i know it is easier said than done, but you can do it, just tell your mother these are the things that i am having problems with...meet in the middle, maybe things will work out.  |

Dont' feel your mother is jealous. She sounds like an over-stressed mom and at this point needs to feel there is no more weight on her back. I doubt she will "throw you out". First be very humble and tell her you will do whatever it takes to prove to her that you want to help her with "whatever" she needs help with, whether it is cleaning, grocery shopping, picking up around the house - whatever. Let her know she has always been the best mom and even if you two had "words" in the past that you want to start fresh and new with her because you have now realized some of your mistakes. Bottom line be humble and honest and let her know how much you love her. Lorkrister |

This happened to a friend of mine, and here's what he did: talked with friends and made arrangements to crash with a different one on a rotating basis. This lasted until he was able to get into the service. Now, of course, we're at war, so you must choose your service carefully. I would recommend either the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), or the Coast Guard.  |

The only way I can think of to make money fast(legally), is to take some things to the pawn shop. From personal experience, no matter how great the need, try to keep from borrowing money or taking out any loans. They will only further push you away from your ability to get back out of debt and accomplish your said goals. I moved out when I was 17 so I know what it's like. I promise. I can't say it will be easy. I wish you the best of luck. -Chamber  |
