<p>You need to ask your mom WHY…</p>
<p>1) Is it because of the additional costs? That can be a valid concern. Going OOS can cost a family a few thousand dollars more in airfare, shuttles, etc…especially if they plan on coming to help with move-in/move-out. </p>
<p>2) Is it because you still have a lot of “growing up” to do? If so, then show them NOW that you can live on your own in a responsible manner…do your own laundry, get to bed and wake up ontime without being told, do extra chores (without being asked!), do your own chores without being reminded, clean up after yourself (don’t leave empty soda cans and dirty dishes around), respect family rules/curfews, don’t waste money, etc.</p>
