So, I am all moved in, paying for everything now and I have a good job to support myself and I have enough money to pay rent, wifi, food and for everything that I need. I would say that it is going good, but my Mormon parents are making me pay for there restrictions on my wifi!

They put my internet to turn off at 12:00 pm,and what else do you know? Managed to block porn once again. I just don't understand the point of "adulting" if I have to pay for THERE shit that I don't need in my life.


I called my parents last night and they said that they got rid of the restrictions and they were lying, because two minutes later I realized that they were still there. Will someone tell me what the real meaning of being an "adult" is if I can't even manage my own things?? They told me that one day, they want me to move out to live by my own rules, pay for my own stuff and have my own lifestyle. So far, I am paying for there house rules and there lifestyle, BUT NOT THERE STUFF!

I have heard that most of adult life is a lot of road blocks and I have to figure out some way to get around it. Are there ways to get around Mormons?? because I have tried. If any of you have similar stories, please share!! Also I "somewhat" like adult life much more then highschool! It's so much better, (besides this bull!!)-(on a another pretty random side note, I promise I clean, and I pay the bills, go to work, wake up on time and take responsibility, but I also swear, I enjoy it a lot more then being a kid!! Isn't it strange how I like being an adult way more then being a teen??)-also yes, this is somewhat ironic in a way! Ha...
-Thanks!!! :)-

Whoever pays gets to make the decisions as long as it doesn't unduly hurt anyone else.

Parents have trouble understanding this. They often see their offspring as "children" forever. My eight-five year old mother was still trying to treat me that way when I was sixty. I'd never taken a dime from her or asked for advice during my adulthood.

TBM parents never seem to learn this lesson.

If you're paying for it, how the hell can they be putting restrictions on it? If they're paying for it, well, you need to get your own access NOW.

Cross my heart, I AM DEFINITLEY PAYING FOR IT!

Is it linked to theirs, fam plan?
On your WiFi’s available, note them, find a neighbor who would be willing to share for $20-25/month.
Work beautifully.
What NeverMo and others have said. Only cheaper for both. Takes a little bit of work to get it right.
Maybe an extender from Target?

I believe you! I just wasn't sure given what you said they were doing. They need to F right off with trying this stuff. It is none of their business what you do with the internet access you pay for.

I'm really mad at them, not you. But you need to put your foot down on this, and quickly.

Oh nevermoinidaho, I'm sorry if I came off as rude when I said that, I am definitley not mad at you!! I am just going crazy with this situation!! But YES AGREED!

No worries. But I can tell you that part of being an adult is standing up to your parents, hopefully rarely. The one time I didn't I nearly lost my job and my home (they freaked OUT on me and wanted me to evacuate from a wildfire when no evacuation had been called yet and I caved. Bad idea when you're living check to check and you boss is ANGRY!) They learned a lesson that time too!

If you are paying for the WiFi, contact the company and remove the restrictions. If that can't be done,or the WiFi is in your parent's name or something, cancel the WiFi, and get WiFi from another provider or in your own name without your parents having any control over it.

Honestly, I am not sure how, but I am on this thing called meet circle and I asked them to change the time and they said yes, but they said that they don't want me to have "habits and addictions that will "ruin my life"


like porn-I mean, I don't watch a whole lot of it, but I watch it every now and then to get some tension released. That would be one thing that I would not be sure how to do, because the wifi thing confuses me, and I don't understand how to set a new Thing up, they say that the restrictions just "come with the Internet."

They think that that is "all I do "24-7" when I definitley don't do it "24-7" I do it every once in a while.

What? You have to be on their plan.
Just quit paying them. Go set up your own contract. All by yourself.

I am not sure who "they” are in your post.

If it is the internet service provider telling you that they don't want you to have addictions to ruin your life, I would tell them that I am an adult who does not need to have my hand held. Further I don't need the Utah state government or the internet provider company deciding for me what I should or should not have access to. If I wanted something like that, I would leave the USA and it's first amendment and live in a country like China where citizens don't have the freedom to choose for themselves what ideas, entertainment, politics, art and products that they want to evaluate for themselves.

Nevermojon--I figured it out with a VPN now!

Get a VPN account for your computer and phone. There are free ones and inexpensive ones. Do a little research.

2nd

Dogblogger, the VPN I downloaded completley works against the restrictions and it's completely FREE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Problem solved! THANKS EVERYONE!!:)

If you are living in your own apartment separate from your family's property, and paying all of your own bills (internet, phone, etc.,) your parents get ZERO say in what you download. Consult your ISP and/or your phone company to remove the restrictions.

Summer, I figured it out! Got a VPN so problem is solved.

Are you on a shared plan with your family? You shouldn't have to have a VPN on your own plan.

Depending how tech savvy your parents are, this could be blocked still. But most people wouldn't know to look that deeply at things.

They aren't very tech savvy, but I know it will be fine, because i am the one who has control on my apps now!

Are you renting space from your parents, have your parents co-signed for a living space for you, or are you living totally independent of them?
