I do love her as she is my mom, but it can be so infuriating to have her sit there and tell me what to do and when to do it. I took the prerogative when I got rejected from my dead set college to get a job and make a life until I can get into a different school. She didn't seem to see that as me growing up and constantly tells me how I should be doing things when she does the complete opposite....hence the money situation. If I can't convince her....which I wont be able to. I will just have to wait...and chances are it wont be till 6-7 years down the road before I get a ball python since I doubt any land lord Would allow me to have them...which sucks even more. But whatever. Life sucks that's How it is. As for my animals suffering in my house...its quite the opposite. They live Like kings and queens. They eat better than I do for chrissake. I spend atleast $300 a month on food for my 3 snakes, 3 Leos, 4 fish, and my salamander. More than I ever spend on myself in 6 months. They have appropriate caging and spot on temps. So no they don't suffer from my crappy home life. And thank You for the offense.

Completely off topic, but my advice is go to school while you still can. I got pregnant very young and didn't get the chance to go to school full time and get a degree as quick as possible. I am now working my ass off, full time mom, full time 911 dispatcher, and can only attend 1 class at a time towards my degree. It sucks, and you never know when life will throw a nice big fat heavy wrench in your life. So I'd take advantage of it while you can....
