Her response was to start slamming on the wall to my room every time she wants something from me.

"Well I'm not yelling 'hey [name]". Oh yeah cuz it was specifically the vocabulary that was pissing me off, not the fact you expect me to be at your beckon-call despite the fact I pay you rent and am essentially your roommate.

    Since my mom retired, it's been like having a toddler in the house. Always needs constant attention and trying to show/ask you things that aren't pertinent. Except what toddlers want to show/ask you is actually interesting (like a dope-ass spider they found in the kitchen or a cool stick).

      Yeah often when she slams on my wall it's because she wants to talk about some bullshit she's enthusiastic about, but that I have no interest in.

      Like it's one thing if you need me to like take out the trash or something, that's an actual task I may need reminding of. But like, I don't really want to pause my Valheim session to come check out the latest van life youtuber you've discovered.

        what if you streamed your vallheim and she could sit in your chat being annoying but at least it's text you can ignore for a while?

          I'm stuck in the Swamp biome and it fucking sucks.

          I just want to get better armor so I can start fighting Goblins in the plains.

            Lmao first time my friends and I landed in the swamp we instantly died to leech poison and took like 5 hours getting our shit back.

            I am very comfortable with the swamps now but that was a hell of a difficulty spike.

            Just wait till you get to the plains. I will not elaborate.

    Once they reach a certain age living with a parent is just like living with a child. Even when they try to do something themselves I still feel on edge because when they fail I have to step in.

      I thought that was just how things were until my therapist told me it is actually a sign of a very dysfunctional parent/child relationship.

      My sister is trying to get me a job at her company, then I can move in with her and her husband for a bit till I can secure my own apartment. Hopefully.

      She used to live with my mom too before she met her husband so she feels my pain and has been trying to help me secure a better living situation.
