| 0:00.0 | My entitled mother is refusing to allow me to get a new job, claiming that my current job at |
| 0:05.1 | Amazon is the only one she will allow. And after putting up with her manipulation for so many years, |
| 0:10.4 | as well as her horrible parenting, I have finally decided to move out and start my own life. |
| 0:15.4 | And I will honestly be so happy to get away from her once and for all. Here's what happened. |
| 0:20.0 | So my mom had insisted that I stay with her for my job during lockdown, as it's still going on |
| 0:25.6 | where I live. So I did and I regretted it, to the point that I'm losing more money than my job |
| 0:30.8 | can pay me. I have a job at Amazon in their distribution center, and basically I sort the packages |
| 0:36.1 | to get them to the customers. I have the night shift and it sucks. I have mental health issues, |
| 0:41.3 | and the night shift plus the stress from my mom plus the drive made me look elsewhere for work. |
| 0:46.8 | I found a good job that pays more, about $8 more than what I make now, and it's during the day time, |
| 0:52.2 | so that's a bit better. But honestly, that is where the problems start. So my current job has |
| 0:57.1 | me driving 100 miles round trip and eats my gas and mileage like Pac-Man and his pallets. I get roughly |
| 1:03.6 | $19 an hour, but the reason this is worse is that my mom expects me to pay her $500 a week for rent. |
| 1:10.3 | My paycheck is roughly $760, take away the $500 and I have $260 left. After making payments on my |
| 1:18.4 | car, which is $180, I have $80 to pay for gas. Gas where I'm at currently is $3.98 a gallon, |
| 1:26.2 | and I use about $60 to fill up. So yeah, I think you can understand that I need to go somewhere else. |
| 1:31.7 | Now my new job, which I start three days after writing this, is during the day and it is remote. |
| 1:37.5 | I can work from home as long as I have a computer of sorts, a smartphone, and the internet. |
| 1:42.4 | The job pays more, and my mom saw my text with my grandparents about it, and well, |
| 1:46.8 | guess who decides to tear me a new one? If your guess was my entitled mother, then you would be right. |
| 1:51.6 | Now my mom doesn't take care of the house. At least since I came back, I had to vacuum fix anything |
| 1:57.2 | that breaks, mow the lawn, cook the food, and take care of my sister. Now I know you might be thinking |
