Mom joked about charging me rent when I start getting paid...apparently, she did that to Ka when he was working. (Meaning, she actually DID charge him rent.)
Look, I'll help with necessities if yours and dad's income just can't cut it, but beyond that, no. I have a god damned girlfriend 1,000 miles away who's counting on me to get as much from this job as quickly as I can so I can finally move the fuck out of this shithole. So, no, I'm not paying rent. Want to try to threaten me with expulsion? Guess what? I legally own 25% of the land you're on, and I legally own the only vehicle this family has. Do not try to pull that shit with me. Because its not just my happiness that's at stake here, but the happiness of the woman I love. You will not be allowed to put her happiness in jeopardy.
