Okay, obviously not an excuse, but I'm realizing I think my mother enables me. Well, I already knew that. But the reason I say it is because over here, I woke up early at 5:30 and stayed up (although I also didn't really sleep and couldn't go back to sleep this morning despite being in bed by 10:30 or 11 and I really woke up at 3. I guess I maybe did sleep 11 to 3? Cause I lost those hours ha), anyway, woke up, took care of Libby (potty and breakfast), took Libby on a long walk like an hour later, let her outside for maybe a half hour, idk exactly, cause she didn't potty on the walk and didn't want to leave her alone without eating, but anyway, the real reason I am posting is because I ALSO cleaned all my own dishes (they don't have a dishwasher here) and put all theirs away AND already stripped my own bed and I'm throwing the towels in the dirty pile too. I might just throw the sheets and towels in the washer but the washer is old so idk. I'll see if I can find the detergent. But I normally don't do that stuff at home. I mean, sometimes, but not common. Granted, my dishes were only glasses, a spoon and one barely dirty plate (pizza) but still. Maybe it's also partly because I've lived their so long and don't really care or have anyone to impress? Cause like over here, I don't want to be a bad houseguest haha but still. I'm normally somewhat lazy. I've decided that maybe I am lazy when I'm allowed to be??? I suppose I should stop taking advantage of that loophole and start doing more around the house ha

Now, I am the sole one that takes care of all of the animals (dog, cat, chickens, and goldfish) so maybe that's something but I chose to have all those animals. I could do actual work. And my own laundry. I think I might start.

We also have a dishwasher so not really an excuse given how easy loading one and hitting a button is haha
 
Oh and also my mother is constantly babying me in a way like wanting to do my hair or go with me places/do stuff for me, or help with this or that or not letting me go to shows by myself and various other things and I'm like... I'm 24. Now, I know she's just trying to help and I appreciate it but I don't think it's helping anything.

As for the going places with me thing, I don't mean hanging out, I like hanging and doing things with her, I mean specifically in the context of going with me specifically to do something for me or talk to someone for me, etc.

Yeah, I think so too. Especially since some dogs literally inhale their food lol it's also good as a brain game/puzzle for intelligent dogs that might get bored easily.



Well, not never. :p I used to have one when I was younger but I think when you're 18 it closes cause it wss under their name with them as the custodian so we closed it or the bank did or whatever and I just never made another one with them. That said, I did actually make one when I went to my first college and still have it but the new debit cards don't work and I haven't bothered to fix it. Plus there are like no PNC Banks around here. They are common in PA and were down the street from campus. I guess I could bank online? Idk how to use that though.

I want to open one at a local bank.

But yes my mother started giving me $80/week the last few years I guess, idk exactly when. And sometimes she gives me more or less. And I tend to overuse the credit card... :oops:s

But now that I'm earning my own money and hopefully getting a real job soon idk if she still will.

But they've always given all of us money when in college.

As for what I do with gifts, I usually just cash it or I was putting them in the other account.

Currently I just have cash stashed. I actually find I tend to use less cash than credit or debit cards. Although lately I've been blowing through it. How I don't know. Subway almost daily is expensive so I stopped that mostly, when I go in stores I usually find a bunch of other stuff I didn't know I needed, and I've been giving my friend a ton of money. And I also sometimes buy the groceries and stuff with cash. So I guess that's how. I gotta stop giving money away.

But anyway, when I have it in cash I seem to spend less. Although a few months ago I had to take a bunch out and cut the stash like in half.

I'm building it back up though which is why I want to open an account.

I don't know if checking or savings is better though.



Yeah I hate talking on the phone and don't answer if I don't know the number. And I like driving around/looking physically lol more fun. Wouldn't drive 60 miles though. I do have a limit lol

If you had to work hard for that money you might not give it away so freely:hmm

Yeah, I know. But even since I've started earning my own, I still have been giving her it. I keep saying I'm not going to anymore but then it's hard because there's always a really good reason and I'm too nice and feel bad. She doesn't have much money

I had a friend in high school that over the years I wish I could see again. Last time I saw her was my wedding day. 2 summers ago she contacted me and I was so happy to hear from her...about the 4th time she texted me she asked to borrow $200. I asked why she didn’t go to her family and I never got an answer. Needless to say I blocked her after that text as it hurt me. Enabling does not help a person to want to help themselves. I don’t know your friends situation and don’t need to know it. End of rant.
