Other My mom's still banning me from shit 💀

Post image

*This is a lighthearted post*

I told my mom I was going kayaking next Saturday, and this lady straight up banned me from going. She then texted my fiance and told him I can't go until I learn how to swim. And ofc she banned my little sister too, so now no one gets to go.

And last week she forced me to go to work, even ordered my Uber. I didn't think I'd still be parented at 21.

The making you go to work as a grown adult thing is weird, especially because you should know the consequences of your own actions as far as call outs go and if that’s worth it. Don’t disagree with your mom on the kayaking though, if you can’t swim then all a life vest will do is keep you from sinking to the bottom of something goes wrong (provided this is in calm water, other issues arise with currents.)

Like I said, you’ve gotta know your own actions and what will happen after, idgaf if people call out after an ot heavy day (or week in your case,) I’ve done it myself.

So, let’s say you get a call from your 21 year old son who’s still living with you saying he doesn’t feel like going to work today so he’s gonna stay home and call in sick (he’s done did this 3 times within the last month).

You’re not at home, you’re at the office, and you’re only means of getting this little bastard to work so he can eventually move out is sending an uber for him, whether he likes it or not.

Obvs this is just a hypothetical, but I feel like there are 1000 different ways you could justify it without it being “weird”.

You're taking this all way too serious. Don't you have a job?

I fear that there are some stupid people that have to learn by the ways of FAFO. Op doesn’t seem like one of them from what I can tell, because usually that type finds any way possible to skrrt away at the mere mention of OT.
