[nabs-l] Disagreeing with mother and others

[Beth]

As far as disagreements and the lack of maturity, I think it's common
for parents to approach things in a more united front.  To be honest,
I sstill live at home if not in college, but my parents are trying to
let me do things on my own.  But since my budget is too small--fifty a
week--I can't manage money and can't do a lot.  I don't know what to
do if I work in a vending stand operation.  So that's the thing.
Another thing, marriage and dating is a problem because my parents
might get word of one obsession or crush after another.  Let's face
it.  I just want to live a normal and productive life with a husband
and children and house of my own, but my parents still treat me like a
small child.  They have not yet encouraged me or given me any positive
feedback whatsoever about my good points as my old friend Kristen puts
it.  Btw, Kristen and I have known each other since fifth grade.  So
there I have something to stick with.
