“My parents want me to pay them back for raising me”

pay_parents_back

My parents gave me (I’m 17) a monthly payment plan to pay the back for the past years of raising/feeding/everything me. I do have a part time job (still in school) and already give them part of what I earn but this is beyond anything I can afford. I’d never be able to move out I think.

They’re very much holding onto that they’re allowed to do this. That now that I have a job I’m supposed to be paying. They also say I agreed to this when I was younger but I don’t remember, but this could be true. Is there a way they can make it so I legally have to do it?

Adversity Introduces a Man to Himself

adversity

We spend the vast majority of our lives trying to curate a pristine, problem-free existence. We want the job with the big paycheck and zero stress. We want the partner who looks like a supermodel and acts like a therapist. We want the six-pack abs without giving up the Tuesday night tacos.

We are obsessed with comfort. We are addicted to the idea that “success” means reaching a point where life stops hitting us.

But here is the hard truth that nobody puts on a motivational poster because it doesn’t sell seminars: You don’t actually know who the hell you are until everything falls apart.

Every Second Spent in a Relationship You Know Doesn’t Have a Future Is a Second Wasted

There is a feeling in the pit of the stomach. It’s been there for weeks, maybe months, maybe even years. It’s a gnawing, anxious sense that something is fundamentally broken. It’s the realization that the person sleeping on the other side of the bed is not the partner needed for the future, but merely a comforting anchor to the past.

Yet, nothing changes. The same arguments happen. The same dull dissatisfaction sets in. The same excuses are made. “It’s just a phase.” “We have too much history.” “I don’t want to be alone.”

8 People Reveal The Benefits They See From Practicing Meditation

1. The absolute best benefit is that I notice, within myself, when negative thoughts or emotions are arising.

I can see them before they get out of control, observe them and their causes, and adjust. I can think critically and evaluate my options before acting hastily.

Likewise, when somebody says something that upsets me, I don’t just react. I stop to observe it’s effects on me, think about why it affects me like that, and then consider the intention of the speaker. This helps me avoid unnecessary conflict due to misunderstanding.
