I think my parents are being judgmental as well. It's just interesting because my dad grew up on a farm so he knows how farming is actually good money (it got my great grandmother through the Great Depression and WW2). Also I think it is hard for them to see because he has not started electrical training; which can make him look like he is lazy and just laying around his parents' house.

My parents love me and I guess they are trying to make sure decisions I get myself into now do not affect anything in the future. They also are from the mindset that everyone, regardless of background or monetary needs, should go to college because that is the only way to get a stable job.

Honestly I think they should just chill out because I'm 18, there's no way I'm looking for someone to get married to. At this age I am looking for someone to have fun with (NOT sexual). Searching for a husband is way too far off in the future for me. I just wish they could see that you know?
