Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!

In time. Just remember, it is more reasonable to follow the New O lead which has some indication that you'll have a job then to instead focus on places where you have none and no indication when or if you'll come across something.

It's much more reasonable to follow through with New Orleans

This is exactly what I've been thinking but haven't been allowed to say. Because in Twimom Land, a "maybe" for Spokane is better than a "yes" anywhere else.

And by sticking with the New Orleans job, you're secretly telling her that you hate your family and want to be rid of them.

 

...nevermind that this is, at least, partially true.

I prefer "declaring my independence." Still rebellious, but with a little more patriotism.

Even better when that independence involves being on a different coast.

[Orlion Blight he/him]

The Gulf of Mexico Coast!

Eeyup.

 

It was so ridiculous, though. I told them I'd be fine going to New Orleans on my own, but ​nooooo, I had to do it when my brother could go with me. Meaning that this will screw up his schedule, because he'd wanted to start his new job in Spokane by the 20th; and that means that I couldn't go on the week when I'd get the really low rates. If I didn't know any better….

 

Oh wait. I do. 

 

They're putting obstacles in my way. They're doing everything in their power to make this move as difficult for me as possible.

Just tell your brother to make his plans, and you make your plans, and ignore your parents.  There is no need for either of you to inconvenience your selves just because your genetic progenitors are idiots.

It's a nice coast.

Well, the plans are already made. He won't have to push his start date back too far, and he's excited about getting to see New Orleans.

Ah, well.  I tried!

Yes, but your method was logical. My parents go for the "call Twi and bully her into doing it our way RIGHT NOW" method.

You really need new parents.  Have you tried taking them into the store for a refund?

The store didn't want them.

They are glitchy bootleg parents.

Indeed it is. I love it.

Twi, have your parents ever used the "You have it easy" excuse when you try talking to them about it?

 

They have tried to tell me I was 'lucky' because they didn't use corporal punishment. I suspect they only set that limit because of that irritating thing called the law. Honestly, if that's the base for your standards, no wonder they consider themselves to be God reincarnate. Nearly anybody could be seen as virtuous with those standards.

 

Twi, have you ever tried doing the 16 personalities test for your parents? I'd be curious to see how similar/otherwise they are to my parents, seeing as they seem similar in a lot of ways.

Storms, yes. When I was a teen, they'd say I had it easy because they didn't force me into extracurricular activities (which didn't stop them from making me feel guilty for not joining any), didn't make me get a full-time job the second I turned 16 (though they basically terrorized me daily during the summer I turned 17 until I got hired), and didn't sign me up for every sleep-away camp in existence the moment school let out (which didn't stop them from terrorizing me for not signing myself up for enough activities to keep me busy during the summer). After I became an adult, they'd say I had it easy because they hadn't kicked me out the second I turned 18 (when they actually heavily discouraged me from applying for out of town colleges or taking any other steps toward independence).

My parents have both taken that test. I don't remember what my dad was (he's an E) but my mom is an ENTP.

Wow. Well, Twi, you have proven yourself as a pioneer of adulting. Your parents can't stop you. Follow your heart, and your dreams will come true. /disney music

Thanks. I've adopted "Let It Go" as my theme song for moving out, and as soon as I'm far enough away, I'm slapping that "I'm so glad I left my tower" bumper sticker right on my car.

My little brother, who has Down Syndrome, is a cheerful, happy little boy who brings a light into my home. Last night, my mom got a call from the doctor FROM HIS HOUSE telling her to take him to the hospital. For the past several days, he has been sick, and the other night I noticed a rash on his right side. The blood work showed his platelet count, white blood cell and red blood cell count are extremely low, leaving him with basically no immune system. We're not sure yet if it's leukemia or a nasty virus.

Oh this is terrible   I hope it is nothing more than a virus. I do not know much about the Down Syndrome, does it usually comes with low immune system?

[Stormgate he/him]

I don't think so. He's twelve years old and never had a problem with his immune system like this, so probably not.
