Today, I casually mentioned to my mom that my boyfriend of two years and I were thinking about moving in together. She looked me dead in the eye and said if I ever moved out, she'd throw me out of the house. I'm confused. FML

Oh wow! It actually got posted! I'm the OP here, and I'm 19, the reason I'm confused is because when I finished high school he and I were going to move down to Florida together so I could go to college, and I got really sick, so we stayed here. My mom was completely fine with it when we were going to move out of state but now that we're moving to the apartment complex not even a mile away. I asked her for clarification and she told me that I knew what she meant. So I asked my dad, and he told me the same thing. I think they might be screwing with me.

She probably means you wouldn't be welcomed back in her home. Why am I the only one who got this?

Because that isn't what the mom said? She said she would "throw her out of the house," not "You won't be welcome back in my house."

What? That's kind of the point... If you move out, then she can't kick you out of the house because YOU MOVED OUT. Silly mother.

They probably are. Sounds like one of those classic parental not-sure-if-joke things.

I would offer insight but I know you already know what my insight is.

It just came off like she said you're not welcome to come back home. Like ever. Which is fine if you can be financially independent & your relationship continues to work out. Just be prepared for anything. Emergencies & all. Take care, OP. [=

They probably meant once you leave you aren't allowed to come back

If they're serious I find that very manipulative. They should be happy that you're taking your life into your own hands.

The Orlando area, I was going to go to Culinary School and he was transferring from online classes to actual campus classes at an art school. And I am taking online courses, my major has switched, so I am technically in college. The weird thing is she loves him, she always invites him over for dinner, and we spend the night at each other's places all the time. I think she's dealing with some Empty Nest syndrome, as I'm the youngest of three girls.

Is there a good culinary school down there? Just curious, I'm college hunting haha.

OP you say you got ill... I would assume it was kind of serious if you had to delay school. Plus, you are the "baby" of the family. She is probably a bit afraid to let you out of her sight now and the announcement made her anxious to the point that she misspoke her exact meaning, but hey, you know what she meant, right?

As serious as a cancer, literally. If I don't joke, I'd cry. But I've been clean for several months now which is why my boyfriend and I felt comfortable talking about living together. I'm trying to understand her concerns but she won't tell me what she means. On another note, my dad has taken pity on me and agreed he's got no idea.

Sounds like they're not exactly right in the head!
