When I was growing up my mom and granny weren’t like how they are today. I could walk through a small patch of woods to a friends house,walk all over the neighborhood ( was told to never talk to strangers,let them touch me or get near their vehicle) If I fell down and skint my knee, I would just wash it ,put a bandage on and get back outside. Then when I became a teen they started to get a bit overbearing,suddenly it was no friends over to the house,no going to other houses or churches. Then as an adult it was no opening the doors unless one of us is watching (first floor houses) no going outside at night. I’m 29 years old and I can’t even go out of my bedroom without granny standing there,use the bathroom without granny telling me what to do when I get out or even take out the trash without granny watching me.If I cook a microwave dinner she stands in the kitchen watching me. If I turn my bedroom light on after 8 pm she’ll open my door crying saying "are you ok? Why is your lights on" I mean she really does cry. As for mom, when we go grocery shopping she’ll scream my name out loud if I walk out of eye sight (even to the next aisle). It’s embarrassing If I put something in the cart,granny will look at it and put it back and won’t say why. If I do buy something to eat,she’ll try to eat it then complain about it being too salty,hard or sugary (she has no teeth) If I spend more than 2 minutes in the bathroom,they’ll open the door. If I’m on my cell,they’ll stand there wanting to know who I’m talking to and want to talk to them.They act like they can’t even do simple stuff like put batteries in the remote .If I take out the trash they want to watch me walk to the end of the drive and talk to them on a cell phone . None of us have any mental problems or disabilities in any sense so how does one deal with helicopter parents in adulthood? btw, I’m 29, they get worst as I get older too
They never did this to my other siblings and as for the moving out I really can’t afford to move out I don’t make that much money.
I don’t exactly want to work longer hours for more money nor do I want to get married just to get out.

I’m only 17 and I just got my first job at Kmart pushing carts for part time. I was excited to get this job, and I liked it during the training and everything. When I started my first real day, it was okay but I am already starting to hate it. I turn 18 in July, which I will be promoted to something else, most likely cashier. I was hired only two weeks ago and to be honest i’m hating this job already. I can do the job with no problems, greet customers, push carts, help other employees if needed, it’s all simple stuff that’s not hard work but I hate just going in for work. I don’t mind the customers at all, i’m used to them since I worked part time for one of my family members at his business. I really don’t care for most of the employees there, I like a few but most just seem to give others a hard time. Also the bosses/supervisors were nice during training, but lately they are no help to me at all. Any questions I have or any concerns they completely ignore me or any of the other employees.

To be honest I don’t want to go back in which would be monday, i’m seriously considering quitting my job, I only worked two weeks for them and it’s hard for me to go in to work. Another thing is I don’t seem to have the energy or time to do any school work because of my new job which is causing a big trouble. This is my first job and I don’t want to leave on bad terms so I am going to write a letter of resignation and turn it in on Monday and just quit right there and then. I know that giving a 2 week notice is more professional but I have no interest at all in working for them for any longer.

So I would like to have some of your guys opinions on this?

Keep in mind this isn’t really a money kind of thing, it was more of getting a little job experience so I know what to expect for the future. I graduate in late May/Early June and I plan on getting a full time job when I turn 18 in July, not as a cart pusher thats for sure lol.
