Breath sweets. Everything works out the way it's suppose to. We don't always know what turn the road is going to take. Sometimes its a pretty swift one that just jumps out at ya when you least expect it. As a mother, I know that as long as my kids are looking for work and or going to school, they can live with me forever. I won't support them if they won't try to support themselves but if they are doing all they can, then I am always right there for them.

Most parents seem to be the same. I know its frustrating when you want to be out on your own...

You know, Im nearly 40. Ive been married 20 years and have 6 kids and for most of my adult life, my husband and I lived with my parents. Sometimes it was because we needed to. Sometimes it was because they needed us too. Out of the solid 9 years we have been here this time, (Daddy bought the place nearly 16 years ago.) We have only lived here without my father for about the last five. he moved out about 2 and a half years before he died and he died about 2 and a half years ago.

My sister lived with him when he died. She then moved in with my mother for a while. Mom has been back twice since she and daddy got a divorce. Once before he moved out and once after. Bear and I have come and gone probably four times over the past 15 years.

The place is mine now. As long as I pay the taxes, I never have to leave. But, that doesn't change the fact that without my parents, we would have never been able to find a place to live. Not, with 6 kids. Two, maybe but not 6. So, as frustrating as it is. Don't let it get to you. It won't last forever. I promise.
