I'm not sure if theres a thread already on this topic, besides the roommate rants lol, but I am thinking about getting my own apartment soon (I'm almost 21). Right now I'm living with my dad and step mom, and while its free rent, I'm absolutely miserable here. My dad gives me mostly free range to do whatever and I don't have a curfew (which I shoudn't) but I've been getting some snide remarks from my step mom to clean up and do chores (which I do every week) and I can't talk to my dad about it because he'll back her up, and my dad and I dont have a good relationship at all..im so over living here. I've called my mom to talk about moving out and when she comes into town in a couple of weeks we're going to meet with a school advisor and see what my chances are of getting into the nursing schools in the DFW area and then she said we'll talk.
I'm a server at a restaurant so my money isn't "set" like a normal job would be (paychecks and all) but my mom is willing to help with rent and utilities because she knows I can't afford everything on my own right now plus my insurance and food and gas, which I'm very thankful for.
Anyways, (sorry for the rant lol) I just need some input on apartment life and the realistic side of things.
ETA: I'll be living alone so no roommate drama!
