On top of that, I have to always help my mother with her grocery shopping, hanging up/taking down clothes and drying the dishes. Man being a slave is no fun at all lol.

o_o.. You're complaining over simple chores?


Dude.. if your mom does so much for you and gives you a roof over your head, cooks for you, etc.. then you should WANT to help her.

Honestly, I would never want to work in fast food, but if it came down to it, I think doing it would be better than sitting on your butt getting unemployment cheques from the government.. unless something happened and I genuinely needed to be on disability.

Exactly. Chores around the house are nothing compared to what you have to do when you move out! You don't want to mow the grass? Fine, but your yard looks like ass. Don't want to do laundry? Wear dirty clothes. Don't want to do dishes? Fine, but get sick from using dirty dishes.

~o~ Life is hard, sweetcakes.

That's not even the hard stuff. It's also time management and book-keeping. Making sure bills are paid on time, making sure you have household things that you need (food, detergent, etc) and especially being able to handle things when it goes wrong (boiler breaks, leaks in plumbing, fuse gone out, etc.)

Meh, I think chores like mowing the lawn are a waste of time. Who cares if you lawn sucks, it's just grass. I'd rather spend some time gardening instead. And grocery shopping for me is horrible. I'd spend too much time figuring out how to get the best deal and exactly how much of each I need. It's easier when you're satisfied with "good enough".

I think the issues isn't doing the chores themselves, but how these chores are being presented. I think Mom needs to learn to be a better salesman.

Yeah. I had to do chores with I lived with my mom while going to school. I also had to walk 45min to work and pay 200-350$ in rent every month on top of that. Wouldn't even give me a ride lol! I was walking home at midnight 80% of the time in poorly lit streets.

So for people who just are asked to do chores... Luckkkyy!

Honestly, I would never want to work in fast food, but if it came down to it, I think doing it would be better than sitting on your butt getting unemployment cheques from the government.. unless something happened and I genuinely needed to be on disability.

I dunno.

When I worked at Tim Horton's, I had a really bad team. It was really hard because it was busy all the freakin' time. (It was a downtown Montreal location outside of one of the busiest subway stations and right beside the inter-provincial VIA Rail train station. It also connects wit certain AMT train cross-overs, too.) It was awful. People were stealing and wanting me to steal, too. The pay was so low that I was making 8.9$/h after tax. You were refused tip money until a few months after you're hired. Since I was "full time," I would receive dental benefits after a year or so of working, but it just wasn't worth it. I was constantly on my feet on hard floors, running around doing a million things. It aggravated my pre-existing back condition and was extremely stressful and unpleasant. Had I continued working there, I can imagine that in the future I'd need unemployment cheques because I wouldn't be able to continue in any line of work due to my back being destroyed.

Even working at Maxi, my back acts up and "jinxes" out. But at least there I have guaranteed breaks (Tim Horton's was an 8.5 shift with a 30min lunch and one or two breaks, at their discretion), a padded carpet beneath my feet and I'm not moving as much. I also get raises, health benefits, dental and I'm unionized, so if I have to take time off for my back, I won't be fired over it, unlike Tim Horton's (which they would've been part of the problem, so you'd think they'd be more willing.)

So short-term working fast food, sure, no employment cheques or anything, but you're typically expoited with no long-term benefits or raises and you could end up hurting yourself and they'll fire you over it. I've seen it happen lol and even though they're served papers about workers being injured on-the-job, I've never actually seen it go further than that.

And if the stress gets to ya enough (perhaps combined with other factors), you could go on a fritz and require psychological attention. Then you're on unemployment and chewing away at the national health care budget.

I'd only say work fast food if it's a first job and you need experience, or if your CV is so outdated and you can't get references from anyone. Otherwise, avoid it; avoid it like the plague.

Yeah, I guess I meant worst case scenario, ya know?
But yeah, if it came down to it where my field of work was abolished or something.. I would probably go back to school and do something that was needed and also paid well.. physiotherapy.. maybe? Or maybe get a teacher's degree and/or open up an art studio on the side? Something that I can get a qualification for only a year, two years tops, of schooling.

Hm…I don't know for you, but I would feel fine doing chores for rent. Probably because I'm a fast worker (I wash about 20 or so dishes in about 5 minutes), but I can understand not wanting that because if you're a slow worker.

Although, you have to appreciate her letting you stay over without rent. I know some Asian parents who would kick their children out the midnight of their 18th birthday because they got a B in 7th grade.

I have to say, despite what they say about Wal-Mart, I think it's a fine place to shop, although the quality of their clothing is crap.

…though Super-Wal-Mart? Really?
