independent .............is when u have the smarts to know when to ask for help

doing this with your family will help them relax about your life choices .........i hate asking anyone for anything i do not like owing ppl

but these are the parents so they do not count as ppl .......they sawl u buck naked wiped your butt and kissed booboos

u asked for advice how to make them feel ok about u doing what u are about to do .........this is one of the ways

as for rent ........save up some cash and tell your parents to do a date night on u .......do this once a month as your rent /thanks for being good ppl
