Seriously, though. I want to break free from my parents. I know this sounds all teenage-angsty, but hear me out.
When I was waiting for my PS3 to come in (it never did, so we went out and physically bought one) and my dad was recovering from his shoulder surgery, I had to help out around my house more. I was pretty proactive about getting to things and I did a better job too. Now I got my PS3, but I have a weaker drive to help or even get around to things. I can't even motivate myself to fold a medium sized load of laundry that been in a basket in my room! And our dishwasher is starting to do a really shitty job of cleaning the dishes, so lots of random crap gets hardened onto the sides of dishes that go into it. I really despise inspecting the dishes so closely, and I usually get frustrated finding so few to put away, so when I put them in the sink and put water in them to soak, I really don't want to scrub over half of the dishes that should really be clean but aren't. Or I just leave them in the dishwasher because I don't want to clean them. Either way, my dad comes in later (he's the one who does the majority of the cleaning in our house), and he sees the dishes not put away and then he lectures me on being more responsible and cleaning them. I'll admit, I really should clean them, but I don't want to take it out on anything when I get frustrated. I usually end up groaning to myself (as I unpack the dishwasher) about how we should just hand wash ALL the dishes (no meme intended), but whatever.
As for other things, like exercising or cleaning or really anything, I have a much greater will to do it when my parents aren't around. Because then they come home and are all like "oh wow! Thanks for doing that!" but when they're home (in the case of exercising) my mom will be all like "you need to be going harder if you want a burn" but maybe I don't. Maybe I'm just doing this because I want to or because I have to. I'm sorry I'm not working out so hard I break a hard sweat. I sweat and all, but still. As for other things like cleaning my room, I don't want to be interrupted by my parents or have them asking me to do other stuff. And when I finish without them around I feel that much more accomplished.
I have a better drive to do things when they're not around, and I'm less inclined to clean up if it's not entirely my mess. Considering a mess is probably gonna not be all mine, if I'm gonna do it, it'll be when they won't be around to see it. Or maybe all my messes.
God I can't wait to move out.
TL;DR: I'm less mature than I was a little bit ago, but my drive to get s**t done is better when my parents aren't around. And I wanna move out.
