Q: I am 17, f and am moving into college August 25th. My mom has been begging me to get a job for a while, I have tried to only be turned down every time because I am not 18. Well, she just filled out an application for a job in my hometown and expects me to travel home on weekends to work if I get the job. I told her I don't think I can handle getting used to college life that quick, get good grades, make new friends and travel to and fro to go to work on weekends and I even told her that I don't think I would be able to come home that much because I have to keep a 3.0 to be able to stay in my major, yet she still filled out the application.. herself. I can't come home to work on weekends, while trying to do reading work or writing a paper. . I even told her that I will look for a job sophomore year so I will at least be used to college life then or even wait til second semester at school to get a job on campus. Granted, I don't even know if I will get the job or not but she's so stuck on me getting a job that she went as far as filling out an application.. for ME. What do I do?
Well, you're mom just wants what's best for you. Maybe she filled out that job application for you in your hometown because she's trying to hint that she's going to miss you and she wants to see you very often. Maybe, spend some time with her, then you ask her to cancel that application she filled out. Tell her that you love her alot, that you'd visit her on holidays or when you're not busy doing work to keep you're 3.0. I'm sure she'll understand, you know how our moms are like. They gave birth to us and they can't let us go that easily. So spend time with her, hang out, do things that both you guys enjoy doing and just be there with her until you leave. Wishing you the very best

I didn't even think of that. Thank you so much, you completely owned my eyes to a new perspective on the situation.
