Sometimes parents are just stubborn and don't want to face the fact that their child is growing up. They also just don't understand sometimes.

Wow, that's ridiculous, buddy. She needs to get out of there somehow. College, all be it a shallow adulthood, is independence. My roommate is still governed by his parents and he lives HOURS away from them! It's insane, and her mom is insane. Take her anyway. What's she going to do?: Throw her out?

Possibly she doesn't want to see her daughter as someone whose growing up. I know parents have a hard time at first, especially mothers

Very true. At least I've seen her twice since that post, even if it was short increments of time.

I'm very upset with her mother's parenting though. As a little gift for 6 months of being together, I got me and her tickets to a concert we both really want to go to. Her mom said no to letting her go.

I don't get it. Really, I don't. I'm pretty damn pissed at her. She never even gives her daughter an explanation when she tells her no for anything.

I mean, she's in college. She drives herself an hour to campus and an hour back home during the school week. She does so many things around the house. She cooks dinner for her family a lot of the time.

I mean, she does so many things for her mom, and she has so many responsibilities, all of which she takes care of. I don't see why her mom can't give her a little more leniency. I really don't.

And not only is she being inconsiderate to her daughter, who really wants to go, but to me as well, who thought of the nice idea, who wants to go with his girlfriend, who spent a nice sum of money on the tickets, etc. And to my mom, who drove around town to get the tickets for me.

That's a bummer, Wiifreak, but at least you get to see her. Separation gives impetus to life, I've found.

I haven't seen my girlfriend since Tuesday, and that was for one of her little pit stops after school that she makes at my house so we can still see each other for 15-20 minutes twice or thrice during the school week.

God it seems like it's been forever :/

What we're doing now is worse.

Aqueous solutions and oxidation-reduction reactions. Weird stuff.

Weirdly enough...Aqueous solutions sounds familiar even though my class hasn't went over it yet.

We haven't really gotten into oxidation yet.

Curiously enough, I actually loved stoich compared to the rest of chem. I know, it's frustrating, as my entire class thought, but it actually made more sense to me than anything else. I think it is the fact that my mind operates much better in that environment of the big picture than the details that gave me a larger appreciation for it.
