Extreme Rant. (about a stupid family issue)

If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times...
If you don't like living under your parents' rules, MOVE OUT OF THEIR HOUSE.

Seriously dude,
Move out on your own, or with some friends and don't complain about what your parents or family expect of you while you are living in their house. I got tired of having to follow someone elses rules too, and I moved out with two buddies of mine. I now live a much more stress free lifestyle, and my relationship with my family is the best it ever has been. Whining about how unfair life is doesn't do anything to help the situation. If you need to vent, sure whatever... but at the end of the day you need to change something in order to solve the problem. Don't expect your parents or siblings to be more reasonable or suddenly see things your way, don't sit their rambling on about what is or isn't fair. Realize that it is time for you to act as an adult and live your own separate life, in your own separate home, under your own separate rules. It isn't hard to do if you are willing to put a little effort into it. Get a full time job if you do not have one, jump on the classifieds sites and look for basement apartments for rent, get your butt in gear and make this whole situation a non-issue by removing yourself from it. Hell, you can even sit with your family and let them know that this is what you plan to do. Skip the "I am tired of living with you guys, you are unfair and mean and blah blah blah" and head right to "I think it is time that I get out on my own; I need my own space and I am ready to take on the responsibilities of life solo". They may even be willing to help you find your new place, or give you the much needed encouragement to get yourself out into the world.

Anyways, this is simply friendly advice from a guy who got tired of living with his parents as well.

P.s. I don't feel sorry for you, and I honestly think you are being a bit of a wuss about this. MAN UP! You are stealing your own dignity away from yourself by being childish; you are better than that dude...
