chellekitty -> i want to jump on the couch... (4/13/2008 9:31:33 PM)
i am sitting here watching my family (ugh i hate being trapped, living with the parents for now) and it just occured to me that my father has been doing the same thing sunday night for i don't know how long, forever i think, and my mother has been doing the same thing saturday night for i don't know how long, probably since i got out of high school - she has a little less since she only has my brother in school monday mornings at 8:30am...and the dogs eat at 9pm and the cats eat at 11pm and blah blah blah...and i just want to jump on the couch to break up the monotany, do SOMETHING different, shocking, wake people up...cause they get really irritated when i squirt them with water... does anyone else get frustrated with the routine? what do you do when it gets to be too much to handle? i know i can't change everyone else's...so i've got to change something for me...but i feel mentally blocked...can i get a little help? chelle

Move out on your own. It makes you less judgemental.

Yes. It gets worse, as you grow older.

I just wanted to input, especially since moving back home, I too feel trapped living at my parents' In a way I guess it's because I've grown to old and mature to still be living with my mom and dad, depending on them for things, and having them treat me like I'm still a little girl. I don't know how much that relates to you, but it's how I feel. Lemmebe.

Wanna break up some routines in the family eh? Three quick suggestions Introduce Netflix to the family for Movie Nights Go to the pound and adopt a dog Buy a Nintendo Wii with the Sports Package

If they are happy with the routine why do you feel the need to change it? If you don't like living with the routine you can only change yourself, so do something yourself that is out of routine. Owned

Pack a rucksack and leave. There is a world out there. I see you are 24 according to your profile. I left home at 16 and stuck my thumb out and by the time I was 24 I'd visited countless different countries. Now I'm older I like a little more luxury and exciting lovers are harder to come by than when you are young, sex is new and young people are still experimenting. Sheeesh! Every day you sit on that couch you are wasting another day your life, there is an exciting world out there.

Hehe.. my parents are the same way.. .I go home and annoy the crap out of them every once in a while though. Nothing says "Hi Mom" quite like a flying leap onto her, the couch, and the cat from the front door. I have amazing couch jumping skillz...but yes, I'd advise moving out as well. Or, go out and bring home dessert, or a movie or something. A Wii's a good suggestion as well, if you can afford it. ^_^

Go for a walk. Go to the movies. Call a friend and meet for dinner or just ice cream. Go rent an Indie movie. Go rent three comedies. Take a class for fun; Thai cooking, belly dancing, meditation, yoga. If they look forward to their routine, good for them. If you don't enjoy it, then do something different.

I think I need routine. But I'm not organized at all. HoneyMaster is very much into routine, and it does help life to go more smoothly. He's been out of town for four days, and...I'm running on no sleep, because I don't go to bed early enough, so many household things need done, etc, etc... I hate routine, but it's very helpful for me to be here with Him, and to have to do things at certain times. It's part of the reason I thought a relationship like this would be good for me. And it does seem to be.

they probably find security in their routines...i know i do in mine sometimes. But i know how you feel. I had to move back in with my mom for a few months when i was 21. It was hard for BOTH of us.

chelle, if you want to jump on the couch or the bed or have a pillow fight or have an ice cream sunday party i think you should go for it! i'm finding that the older i get, the more i appreciate the unexpected, the silly, the things that might at first seem like a waste of time. routine is good for some things, but i don't think it needs to be front and center all the time. i got way too serious after my divorce and have just in the last few months discovered that some fun and frivolity can go a long way towards attitude and happiness.

quote: ORIGINAL: Estring Move out on your own. It makes you less judgemental. Yep, living on your own tends to give a far different perspective and the older we get the lot less judgmental for us it becomes. We all are routine based in nature just some are more structured in their routine. People who are bored easy and always do something new are quite predictable and routine orientated by doing just that.

everyone says move out and although that is a lovely suggestion sometimes it is just not feasable for some reason or another or I am betting you would have done it already.... I myself moved out when I was 14 but after a bad marriage and 2 kids I had to move back in with my mom.... sad really. I was smothered by the nothingness and got even more depressed every day. Nothing turned around for me though until I took the reigns and turned it around myself... I found a job I loved... as an adult entertainer and on call escort! At that point I needed random strangers to pay to be with me and tell me how beautiful I was. Never before that had I experienced the joy of totally humiliating a man- telling him he was worthless and taking his money worked for me at first but I quickly moved up to the kinkiest thing Desert Divas offered! it has been a few years now since I have been "on call" but after making $700 or more on just a wednesday afternoon (lots more on weekends) I found it much easier to move out, buy a nice car, get my kids the pretty things to make them smile and move on with my life.... my point is. Do something, anything... not something that would screw with your parents routine but something that would screw with yours...

In this country, no healthy adult is "forced" to move back in with mommy and daddy. Some simply choose it because it is easier, for either them or the parents.
