Yes, we do both have jobs. Yes, we do chip in what Mom will accept. Yes, we have offered to pay regular rent, on top of covering our own expenses aside from food. And yes, we're doing that while attending university full time; between the job and four simultaneous advanced physics classes, I apologize for occasionally coming home to sleep.
I don't know what chores are being blown off. Beyond the obligatory minor grousing about scrubbing down bathrooms, we do whatever is asked of us and much more on top of that. What is asked of us mostly consists of watching Linc, and the dishes do themselves every day. I suppose those don't count, though, so how about volunteering for Linc's soccer league and tutoring her friends? Cooking? Trash? We aren't "freeloading," we're pursuing our dreams of astrophysics and French in the only economically viable way possible. Bill was so very kind to get us this opportunity, and like hell we're going to spit in his face and run off to "independently" rack up debt for no good reason.
As for stereotypes, I hope you can forgive us. We're also busy shoring up stereotypes about homeschoolers getting straight A's and succeeding in fields like science and foreign language. Never getting out of the basement? Japan and France were nice, thanks for asking.
We love each other very much, and one of the advantages of being adults is that we're capable of talking to each other and working out any differences or miscommunications that might arise. While we appreciate the fact that you care enough to show your concern, talking shit about us on a public message board is frankly a little bit beyond your call of duty.
So you can pull your self-righteous head out of wherever the hell it's stuck, Ms. free-as-a-bird. How are those student loans working out for you?*
*Sorry, my tongue slipped. I meant to say Merry Christmas, beloved sister!
