  1. I'm getting kicked out of my house. I told my parents i wanted a job because i don't want to live there my entire life (i'm 18). they told me they don't agree, they think it's (get this) UNGODLY to move out until you're married. so they said if i got the job they would take my paycheck and put it in another account, i wouldn't be able to touch it. I told them i was an adult, and could handle my own money... and that's when my dad began to yell that i "Get out of his house right now".
    Mind you, i've had no problems managing the money i already have, and i have no drug, alcohol, or sex related issues. I'm in college, a sophomore to be exact, and i really think they're crazy. I don't WANT to stay there now... but idk what in the world to do...
    ON a good note, there is a place interested in hiring me... hopefully it will work out.

    Make sure you don't look after them in old age.

    They can't legally take your money away from you unless you allow it. They can kick you out though if that's what they really want to do. My suggestion is to find a job and move out like you're thinking of doing.

    It doesn't sound like they're being fair to you, but you don't want to damage your relationship with your parents. Difficult situation for sure, but I hope it all works out.

    Sounds like Legalism to me...

    Hang in there, I'm familiar with the ideology that your parents have, and I feel very strongly that it makes life terribly difficult for young people such as yourself.

    I don't feel qualified to tell you what to do. I just know that a lot of the situations like this that I have known of have been tough. Whatever happens some part of you will always love your parents. So, whatever you do, be as kind and loving as you can, even as you leave if that's what you choose. It'll make it easier to repair the relationships later.

    Must be a crazy time for you. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

    Wait, they don't want you to get a job or move out? o_O

    I don't think I've ever heard of any parents like this before.
