When my mom decided to get kittens, I begged her not too. Given the past history of pets I didn't think they'd last too long. I tried to remind her that she has a tendency to get rid of a pet once it begins to stress her out. Well she got two kittens anyway. Lily and Jasmine, and I went and got attached to the little troublemakers and sure enough they're both now gone. She couldn't get them to go in the litter box, I don't think she had enough time in her day to teach them properly. Anyway, they're gone. I miss them.
I guess my Mom is just getting on my nerves lately. She told me recently that she's concerned about me because when she was my aged she was married, had two kids, had her LPN and lived in an apartment and here I am her age, still in school and living with my grandma. The thing is though, I took about a year off from school when I was in a bad relationship, stupid thing to do and well I'm not going into the relationship. So I took a year off. I got back into it though and well I'm doing my best. The living with my Grandma is something that needs to be done. My grandma can be a difficult person to live with, but we get along really well. I also don't have to pay rent, so that's one less bill that I have to worry about, and she helps me pay for school. She also couldn't live by herself, it's just not plausible.
I also understand that it probably worries her that I seem prepetually single. That's because after I came out to my parents they decided that denial was the best route. The last time I was serious about someone, which yes was a horrid relationship, Dad threatened to change the locks on all the doors...including my Grandma's so well it became clear early on that until I have my own place I don't talk to them about anyone I'm seeing.
Mom wants me to get my STNA so that I could perhaps make two or three dollars more per hour. However right now I have seven residents to worry about at all time, if I get my STNA I'll proably end up in a nursing home with more than twice that many patients. I'm also not sure that if I studied to get my STNA if I'd have to take time away from working towards getting my RN. I'm proably going to look into it, because if it turns out to actually be a viable option, then good. It's just that right now it doesn't look that way, and that worries me because to my parents it'll mostly likely look like I'm just not taking their advice.
I understand that Mom's worried about me, but I don't think I'm doing half bad. I'm only twenty-three. I have plently of time to have kids and be in a relationship if I choose. Right now I'd rather concentrate on my job and getting through school. Why does family have to be so confusing?
