Wish you were here

Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML

Um, because OP was on vacation, doeesn't mean that they paid for it. They might have went with an academic group, or with a friend... FYL OP for what your mom said...

It's so annoying when people on here start bashing anyone 18 or over for still living with their parents. Just because the law in this country says that parents don't HAVE to support their kids after that age does not mean everyone should automatically be ready to move out. Also a person's frontal lobe(front part of the brain that helps us make rational decisions) isn't even done growing completely at that age, so it's okay to be living with your parents even until your early 20s as long as you're all mature enough to respect each other. To the original poster, I'm sure she misses you but probably does like the little bit of quiet and free time to herself. Everyone likes to be alone at some point so consider this as her vacation for herself and don't take it seriously.

Well, the OP wasn't complaining that her mom wasn't supporting her, she was complaining about the fact that her mom would feel blessed if she never came home. I think that it's kind of a bitchy thing to say. That leaves the OP thinking on what her mom really feels about her, and just causes a lot of problems. I think the OP is fully justified and saying this is an FML moment.

i don't get why all you people think that just because he's on vacation without parents he's old enough to move out on his own? what if he went to hawaii with some friends? about 5 of my friends did that, and they're 18. it doesn't mean they're moving out when they get back cause they could go alone, it just means their parents trusted them. give OP a break. also, maybe he /is/ in college, but its much more affordable for their family to have him live at home rather than on campus, i know thats true for my family, so i'll probably live at home for most of my college years. that doesn't mean i have to become practically invisible to my family like you guys are suggesting. FYL dude, just talk to her and figure out if really are too loud, then you can both make some adjustments.

Wow, I don't know what to say. I think sometimes parents have complicated relationships with their kids, and maybe they do appreciate the silence when they are not there, BUT the hypocrisy of telling you the opposite of what she means is unforgivable. Why not just be honest??? Why not say, "I LOVE you, child of mine, and the house is not the same without you." That way, if she then turns around and says what she said, she doesn't come off as someone you can never trust to tell you the truth. IDK how monumental or minimal this is for you, but if it's big, I would try to get to the bottom of what she meant and what you did to contribute to her feeling that way. If my mother had said that about me, it would have changed our relationship forever; ESPECIALLY because she lied.

There are lots of ways to make her eat those words, the most elaborate one being faking your own death and watching to see how she acts. OR you could actually die, and come back to haunt her as a ghost. Orrrrr you could just get lost in some woods somewhere, live in the mountains for a few months then come back, unless you're doing really well and decide to move in. Or you could not take advice from me.
