The first time when I told my mom I was getting a job, she immediately panicked telling me how young I am and that all my focused should be shifted towards prioritizing achieving high academic achievements, but then I told her that I got the mental endurance to be able to juggle both and that I’m going to be working part time anyway so it wouldn’t consume much of my energy and my time. I also have extreme good time management skills, study effectively with ease, gym, so I know for a fact I could definitely manage but despite all that, she refuses, so I accepted it. About a year later I wanted to pursue having employment, as the feeling grew stronger as it starting to get more common for people my age to secure employment, but not only I see myself being financially supported but I see this as a opportunity to grow myself and improve essential skills in fields like communication, work ethic, teamwork, all I see is important asf as I’m entering adulthood. But she still said no, until she finally said about her benefits being cut off and she won’t be able to receive money. She then proceeds to fucking try pulling some manipulative technique saying I won’t receive money if I get a job, like hello, fucking explain that? She says “all my money will be cut and you won’t receive some” like what r u on about? All the money is 100% being transferred into ur acc. I’ve gave her the biggest talk ever trying to encourage how this is going to benefit me but despite all that, she doesn’t seem to be convinced even a slight bit after months. 19 years old, work, study, gym, building the foundation and she decides to ruin the momentum
