i am really sad that my mother applied me to a teaching job without my knowledge. I have already a job in the provincial engineering office now and i really love my job there though its not quite a high paying job. Now, she want me to report to the school for she already talk some important people there that i could have a teaching stint for two months as a substitute teacher. She even ask my present boss to release me for two months to give way of my teaching job still without my knowledge. I am really hurt with her actions... at least she should consult me first if i really like to teach. I really hate teaching... but she really wants me there.. She just couldn't give up her dream for me to be a teacher like her. I never speak with her anymore since last week. i was never home when she's home. She even tried to bring people from school to persuade me to report. even up to this very moment she is still persistent on her liking me to report in the school tomorrow. I am so depressed that she's been a tyrant in my life! why can't she just back off? Does she have the right to force me into something i don't like to do? i am not a child anymore! in fact i am turning 30 this year.

30! YOUR MOM SOUNDS LIKE A REAL CONTROL FREAK! dO YOU STILL LIVE WITH HER? iF YOU DO, I SUGGEST YOU FIND YOUR OWN PLACE QUICKSMART AND SHOW HER THAT YOU GREW UP AND CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SELF. dON'T BE RUDE, JUST BE FIRM. SHE IS STILL, AFTERALL, YOUR MOTHER. SHE MAY TRY TO EMOTIONALLY BLACKMAIL YOU AT FIRST BUT STAY FIRM AND EVENTUALLY SHE'LL BACK OFF. I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE, MY FRIEND. MY MOTHER WOULD STILL BE CONTROLLING MY LIFE IF I DIDN'T DO THIS. GOOD LUCK! BY THE WAY, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN JOINING A NATURAL SUPPLEMENT SELLING COMPANY CALLED GNLD? VERY GOOD PRODUCTS AND A VERY LUCRATIVE PARTTIME/FULLTIME BUSINESS. IF YOU ARE, MAIL ME @ thewavelet@yahoo.co.uk FOR MORE INFORMATION. THEN YOU CAN EVEN INTRODUCE YOUR MOM INTO IT SO SHE'LL BE TOO BUSY TO INTERFERE IN YOUR LIFE.
