This is a very good idea, thank you!
Not really, what's your point?
Any quick ideas on how to increase my income? Go prostitute myself? Spend less on something else? So I should just not eat instead?
My point? Here is my point, can't believe I have to spell it out to you:
At the age of 18, my step-dad goes to me: no eating past 8pm in my house. I realise, that my mum pays for everything for me. Utility, rent, council tax, internet, phoneline, food. I don't like this rule. So I have 2 options:
1) Be my own man and move out
2) Just accept this rule and live with it, since it's my mum's house afterall
"Pride" and "self-worth" prevent me from doing a 3rd option:
3) Sneak downstairs at 12am to take something from the fridge and eat it
I do acknowledge that you do pay your rent and for your food. So you do help to pay the bills. Unfortunately, like you said when I asked you what was stopping you from moving out, you said that you didn't have enough money. Therefore your mum at least is subsidising you somewhat. I'm sure that if all you needed to survive on your own was rent and food, you would have moved out already.
Becuase of this, you have to respect her wishes, and if her partner says so and your mum agrees, you have to respect that. No matter how ridiculous the rule is, like eating past 8pm.
But then again, you already said you didn't have any pride or self worth.
