She isnt required to accomodate you or your interests at this point, you are a young adult. Know what I mean?

I speak from the point of view of a parent of young 20 somethings. Our son was living in our home after he turned 18, he became a little too big for his britches and was disrespectful, wouldnt work, wanted us to foot his cigarette bill and expected us to accommodate all his wishes because he still viewed himself as our "kid" so we owed it to him. He just couldnt grasp that he is a young adult and now responsible for himself. Eventually he was booted out of our home. He is now on his own and has learned a new appreciation for us, his parents. Now that he does have to take care of himself. He takes less for granted now. And appreciates the freedom he has living in his own domain, not ours. Our home, our rules.. His home..his rules.

I literally just moved in with her, haha. Just finished highschool at the end of the June, I lived with my grandparents in a small town for my highschool years, I chose to move in with her so I could be back in the city where I would be able to walk to a job since I don't drive. Right now I'm taking a break from the stresses of school and work, and I can't even begin to explain how much happier I am because of that. Anxiety runs through my mom's side of the family, my mom deals with it, and I really see it in myself. I'm taking this time to relax, look after myself, and psych myself up for getting a real job in a few months. Not to mention think about what I want to go to school for and how.

We may not get along all the time, but I do follow her rules and I do try to respect her opinions on things. I don't have an issue with her rules, I have an issue with her attitude towards me. I just don't think it's wrong of me to want the respect someone expects from me returned?
