Rodge,
My parents and I are very angry with each other. I live at home because my job was eliminated so I do not have a steady income coming in. I get so depressed that I often go out at night with my girlfriends. There have been two or three nights when I met a guy and spent the night with him. When I get home the next morning, my parents tear into me because I did not call them to tell them I was staying out all night. I scream back at them because I am 28 years old and there was no way I was going to tell the guy “We have to stop for a few minutes while I call my parents and ask them if I can stay out tonight.” Which of us is right, me or my parents?
No Home of My Own
Dear No Home of My Own~
Your parents. As long as you’re living under their roof, you have to live by their rules. That reality is definitely true in the instance you’ve described, as it’s completely understandable that your parents will worry until you tell them where you are & that you’re OK.
As for calling to tell them your plans (I’m assuming they don’t text, right?), you don’t have to tell the guy that you’re calling your parents. Just say you have to make a call, which he’ll probably interpret as a call to your roommate. Besides, making such a call is a wise safety measure, just in case the guy is, in fact, an ax murderer.

the response made me laugh because it sounds like a promotion for text messaging - "you no longer have to delay sex with your latest one night stand while you telephone your parents, just text them instead!"
i can't decide if i like it best when UR funny like yesterday when U told the girl to take a quiz with her no. 2 pencil or like when UR direct and tell the girl she is wrong and her parents are right like U did today - i guess U just have to keep doing both - LOL!
If the Republicans stay in power, more young people will be suffering the same fate as this girl and have to move home with her parents because they will lose their jobs. Vote for Obama!
when you write the funny stuff, i like that a lot - but if that's all you ever wrote, i wouldn't keep coming back every day - you absolutely need the hardcore advice, too, that tells people straight on that they are doing something right or something wrong
Tho I will be chastised for being a prude I have to say that the girl who wrote this letter is saying that she routinely has sex with men the first time she meets them. That is both unwise and potentially dangerous. Go ahead, call me a prude but it is true.
