I have lived in apartments my whole life, in 4 different states. I have never and probably will never live in one that has a no overnight guests rule.
Maybe that's a city thing? Or privately owned apartment buildings? I have never encountered that in apartments in the suburbs.

And I don't even have my first paycheck yet....
I don't know what I'm expected to do in the mean time...just stop doing anything besides work and coming home? I don't think so.
She doesn't even care that I go over to TG's.
I just simply don't tell her the details of what I do outside the house.
Even next paycheck I won't have any money for her. I have car insurance that's past due, I have a cell phone payment to make, I have to spend $75 to replace my new phone because I dropped it and the glass screen cracked and I need to be able to buy myself food, there's a whole paycheck right there...

She doesn't provide clothes, I've been wearing the same thing to my new job until I have money to buy some more khaki pants and blue shirts.
And she certainly doesn't provide love.

And its not so much keeping it a secret, I just don't openly advertise my activities and put them all up in her face.

I'm not going to walk in one morning after a night at TG's and be like I HAD SEX LIKE 4 TIMES OMGGG, I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE CONTENTS OF MY UTERUS SETTLE BACK INTO PLACE.
Nor am I going to walk in and be like HEY GUISE...I got sh*tfaced lassst night.
ew.

Because obviously if my mom ask what TG and I did that night, like oh so what did you and TG end up doing? Then I am going to leave certain stuff out and won't tell her everything, obviously not all of it is her business, but she's free to know we watched a movie or whatever.

Are you driving around uninsured!? Because "past due" insurance means no insurance.....

No it hasn't lapsed yet.
I have 11 days AFTER the due date to get it in.
It was due the 4th and I get paid the 15th, 11 days later. Luckily it ALL works out.

And even if it does lapse, I do have to get to work somehow and walking or biking is not an option.
You all know where I live. I will give a hint, the nearest walmart besides the one in my town is like 14 miles south of me....
You know the two roads that lead to that town...I won't bike down either of those that's a death sentence on a bike. Small narrow roads with speed limits of like 50....NO THANK YOU... I rather not have my legs mangled into a bike frame.


*Edit*: Just checked my geico page and it says the payment went through today...

Yeah I know it was just a bit graphic lol. But I agree (probably the only one who does). I don't think most of the people here can honestly say that their parents knew details about their sex lives while they were still living under their parents roofs or not. I'm sure most parents wouldn't even want to know. If it doesn't affect your mom and it's not something that's physically harming you, it isn't her business, IMO.

Were my grown adult child living under my roof doing something that he/she knew I didn't approve of and the grown adult child lied to me about it....

Grown adult child would be told, "There's the door. You aren't happy with my rules? Adios. Time to be an adult and that means you get to go make your own way. The best part is I won't care much what you do in that sweet little apartment/house/trailer/rented room/cave you are living in. Feel free to come over on Sunday for dinner. You can sit next to senile Aunt Bess who will probably enjoy hearing how horrible your life is. Bye."

Seriously. I wouldn't put up with that nonsense. Not happening in MY house. Hasta la vista, aloha, so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye.

How about simply be grateful you have a free place to park your butt and quit whining about it?
