Perhaps you weren't hanging out in this forum back when she lives at her mother's house, but txtqueen needed to get out on her own. It wasn't just her desire. Everyone encouraged her to get her own place. She needed to move out so she could mature and grow up. We were all amazed she actually did move. We thought she would live forever at her mother's house and whine and complain. We warned her that the nanny situation wasn't the best way of getting out on her own, but it was an arrangement that made her feel most comfortable---because being literally on her own scared her. That fear of being on her own is just another reason she needed to be on her own.
As for the car, I was in the same situation concerning a car when I was her age. My father forced me to have a brand new car because he wanted me to be in a car that was safe. It's an old fashioned opinion about car ownership. And I was forced. The circumstances dictated that. I didn't have the money to buy my own car outright--even a cheap car. I needed a car to get back and forth to work--a job I already had before my junker broke down. My father insisted that he would only buy me a brand new car. If I had refused him, I would have lost my job because I wouldn't have been able to get to work.
As for college, txtqueen has been attending college for a few terms. The 14k isn't really necessary for her to finish college because her mother's income and her own income is low enough that she will qualify for financial aid.
Yeah i was and i was one of the few that told her to stay and finish school first
A lot of people ganged up on me because I am a firm believer in getting your behind in college full time right out of high school. I wonder why I think that way.

Exhibit A, folks.
Do you know how much I would love to move back home and pay car ins, car payment and gas and work to be able to afford thst and enought to save?
People are simply frustrated that she rarely takes seriously any of the advice she is given. We try and try and try to explain things and she always comes back with some comment letting us know how grown up she is because she had a glass of wine with her employer or her boyfriend fixes her eggs in the morning. That doesn't make one an adult. Rather than try to make better decisions, she still repeats poor decisions and then whines about the consequences.
Yes, and most adults "work" 57+ hours a week. They put their 40 hours in then come home and do yard work, house work, take care of the kids, cook, or sometimes do school work.

Yes but I never have a full day off.
I'm either doing one job or the other.
I'd like some time to just like idk go clean my car out, spend time with friends or just like idk do something for myself. I barely have time to shower or do anything during the day. I have no time to do anything for myself and I'm going to get that time back.
Txt is in over her head, being a mature adult is taking good advice from people who have been there and done (haha). There is nothing wrong with wanting to leave home but you do it the right way and not leave the house at any chance that you get. To be honest you aren't a nanny, you are a baby sitter. Like it was pointed out before... they should pay for you to be insured for their vehicle and they should be paying your cell phone bill its on their bill as a convience to them. Room and board should be included you shouldnt have to work x amount of hours equals rent being paid. Maybe im wrong but that is bizarre to me. If I had a nanny then room and board is included as it is a convience to be in my home. I wonder what they'd pay if you were still living at home or with a roommate? Also I wouldve questioned what happened to their previous nannies [water under the bridge now....]
Things you should have done years ago. You should be just about done with college.
What is done is done but you chose a more difficult path. Now you have to deal with it. Suck it up.
My mom couldn't take me and I can't afford dorms.
