<p>I am so mad right now..... i just got in a big argument with my dad that started over nothing.... I told him that his problems would be over in 28 days when i move out and he threatened to throw me out right now... I just dont know I am SO ready to just leave. Has anyone else been through this what did you do? I just don't know whats goin on or what to do....</p>
<p>Nah, I'm sorry to here about your situation, but in my case I'm being as respectable to my parents as I can. When an argument arises I just let it go knowing that I'll probably never see my parents with the same relationship we have had over the last 18 years again. I know it's hard but just let potential tensions go if possible and try to aim for the best month you can because truthfully your situation you are so accoustomed too will never be the same again.</p>
<p>dont worry too much abt it.</p>
<p>I know for me, when I came home this summer, EVERY argument I got into my parents ended in that same line..."I'll be gone in ___ days." I don't know why but that really bothered my parents more than anything else I could say, so I now know to steer clear of stuff like that.</p>
<p>It's probably a little tough for them right now, especially since it's your first year leaving. Just try and be chill, and make the most of this time, and don't remind them of when you're leaving, because as much as you may think they're looking forward to the day you move in to college, I bet they're dreading it.</p>
<p>Considering they're fronting 5k a year for me...I'm in submissive mode while I'm here</p>
<p>Ya'll might want to check out the Parents Cafe for threads showing the parents and students' sides of this situation, which is a typical one occuring the summer after h.s. graduation.</p>
<p>Hmm...in my house, it's usually my parents who bring up the statement: "You'll be gone in __ days." They even told me that they'd be happy to pay for me to leave. :confused: Is this not how it works for you guys?</p>
<p>As much as I am DYING to get away from home...I never tell my parents that. I just don't want them to feel bad...it's not that I want to leave them, I want to leave this ****hole of a town I live in.</p>
<p>Be nice to your parents this summer...we're all going off to college soon, and then we'll have more than enough time to ourselves.</p>
<p>Actually, liveforindie, we won't have any time to ourselves. We won't have our own rooms, bathrooms, anything. I think if we truly need privacy, we'll have to lock ourselves in our closets! And at some schools you have to share that too. The lack of privacy and space is something that I'm really not excited about, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.</p>
<p>I remind my mom daily "I can't wait for these last _ days to be over, then I'll be gone!" We both say stuff like that jokingly, because my mom and I actually get along really well. It really isn't bothering her that I'm leaving, I'm not even the first to go. My sis just graduated from college in May, so we've been through this before.</p>
<p>I am the first the leave from my house. And it bothers my parents very much. Especially my dad! He wanted me to go to college close to home...but I'll be 4 hours away, and that's really bugging him.</p>
<p>4 hours is close to home.</p>
<p>Yeah, I would consider that close, considering that you could have gone thousands of miles from home.</p>
<p>Yeah...well, far for my parents.</p>
<p>I am all of 35 minutes away from home. I couldn't go out of state because I don't have enough $$$, so it was either UMD, Towson, or JHU.</p>
<p>The only reason i said something like that is because my parents are forcing me to work in a job that i hate... I mean i don't mind working but i have to work with children.. which i don't like (They are always like NO! and that really just ****es me off) XP</p>
