Does she have clinically diagnosed OCD, or does she simply like a tidy house?

Can anyone recall a thread about a boy with a phobia to household chemicals?

Oh yes. Definite similarities! Don't you just want to give him a shake :mad:!

OP, if you want to have any chance of persuading your mother to let you stay until the summer, reread all the posts on here, especially Easy (post 62) and take the advice on board.

I don't pay any rent but buy all own foods, hardly use washing machine etc.

I can't offer money because I am trying to save for a house. Also chucking me out will mess up my business.


I feel they are using me as the scapegoat to all their problems, always been like that, so frustrating

You receive student funding and income from your business: you pay no rent and occupy half the house. Why are you surprised that your parents want you to leave?

I do so hope you're a troll and that real people aren't having to put up with you.

Lifecanbetough?

Not sure if serious.

Taking up 2 rooms, half the garage. Not paying any costs.

Taking all the business money and student funding and not contributing at all?

You're having a laugh. You think life is tough now? Get into the real world.

It's all me, myself and I in your posts.

Not being funny, but you contribute nothing, you have no friends so just mooch around the house. Maybe your parents are at breaking point over it. Doesn't mean she doesn't love you. But when you go next year, on your terms, if you get your way. They will only have each other.

OP you come across as selfish, your taking up space in 2 bedrooms and half a garage which you seem to be running a business from.

You don't pay rent yet your happy to run up bills ect ect, and I am guessing you haven't declared running a business from your parents home.

What you need to do is move out and stop making out like your being hard done by. Your mum wants her space so give it to her then you can stop complaining about her being OCD.

Not everything is free in this world, and if you're man enough to run a business then be man enough to move out or just pay up simple as.

You cant offer any payment in rent because you are saving for a deposit for your own place?! So at 24 you are expecting your mum to effectively sub your life, whilst you get yourself into a strong financial position before going it alone. All the while taking up rooms in her house with stock from your business. Yet you resent them and feel that they are using you. Heavens above I have heard it all now. I am not totally surprised that your mum is well and truly fed up of this scenario. Time to face the reality that no-one owes you an easy ride, or will put up with being taken advantage of long term.

It's hard to imagine someone could be such an ungrateful, whiny, immature little brat at 24 years old outside of the trolling sphere. Poor parents if this is real...

Not sure about the poor parents...OP is probably this way because of the way she was brought up, ie. spoilt as a child, becomes a spoilt brat as a young adult.

It's one thing to treat your kids and making them the centre of their world, it's another when they become adult and are still the centre of their parent's world...

so it seems what I feared was true, that parents don't give a sh it about their children once they reach mid twenties

Things that parents do for babies and children that they don't do for adult children:
- wipe their bum
- hand feed them
- dress them
- buy their food
- house them

Just because your parents no longer want to give you a free place to live (or live with you at all) doesn't mean they "don't give a ****" about you. Just because they don't wipe your bum for your doesn't mean they "don't give a ****" about you. etc etc. They are just treating you like a 24 year old, to do otherwise would be harmful to you - it would prevent you developing into an adult.

It already is harming her, op by her own admission seems to be somewhat of a recluse.

They'd be bad parents IMVHO if they didn't give her a nudge into the real world.

and also mentioned not having sex because of me, which I kind of understand but can't they close the door or something, I can't even hear anything.

Also, why on earth should they have to close the door, it's their own house?! They can screw on the sofa if they want.

If you are going to stay there any longer you need to start going out (on your own if you have no one to go out with) and staying out overnight - use the money you have saved on rent on a hotel, give your poor mother some privacy.

One thing that has occurred to me ....do the tax authorities know that you are running a business from the bedroom in your parents' house? It could have taxation implications on your parents

It can affect the house insurance too with all that stock in situ.
