Oh. My. Fucking. God.

My parents had been saying that if I didn't have a job by August, then I should just move back home and continue my job search from there, which obviously I wouldn't ever want to do in a million years.

There was the issue of my lease, which I had renewed back in November, and I knew I'd have to do something about it when I got a job. My parents asked for the number of my realtor so they could find out options or whatever, so I gave it to them. I wasn't planning on figuring things out until I got an offer and knew my timeline.

Fuck "options." My mom told them to terminate my lease, which means I have to be out of here by August 18. And move the fuck home for however long it takes me to find a job. The only thing I support about that decision is the monetary benefit.

I can't believe she went behind my back like that. I mean, I totally can, but I can't believe it's already come to this. I have to give my permission, which I am obviously not doing right now. And since I don't have a tangible job offer right now, I don't even know the timeline of when I would need to move out, but it's probably not as early as August 18, given the speed at which my prospects have been progressing. Then again, maybe it would be. I hate everything.

I'm just pleased I was able to think of something besides Hewlett-Packard.

No Sephora stores in my state, alas. I could go to one next time I visit my parents, I suppose. Whenever that may be. I'm tempted to try to find one when I'm in Houston this weekend, but that seems a little cruel to my long suffering husband.

My mom told them to terminate my lease, which means I have to be out of here by August 18.

Wait. Can't you tell the realtor that you did not give your mom permission to do this?

Is this even legal?

My mom told them to terminate my lease,

P-C, you're over 21 -- she can't legally do that.

Oh, P-C, that sucks mightily. Do you want to stay in your apt. a bit longer? If so, can you contact the landlord and stay?

Zikes, P-C. Much emergency job-ma to you.

Can't you tell the realtor that you did not give your mom permission to do this?

Yes, I can.

No more phone numbers for P-C's Mom! Parenting foul!

Seriously, P-C, whose name is on the lease? Yours? (Because I know some college students' parents sign their kids' leases, since they're paying for them.) If her name isn't on the lease, it doesn't matter that she's your parent. She'd have to have power of attorney to tell your landlord to terminate your lease.
