You think my family was talking about me around my little cousin?

So I don't work at the moment, I'm just focusing on school to complete my master's. I get paid VA disability and school money from the military since I'm out. So I still live with my mom, she let's me stay to save up some more money to eventually get a house. So my 9 yr cousin came over with her mom. She came up to me and was questioning what my job was so I told her I don't work just go to school. She whispered and said "you're 25 you need a job to get your own place, and this isn't your house and you need to pay bills, you have to get a job to find your own path" I was like omg did she just say that to me. So nobody heard it but I was shocked because she had to have heard it from her grandmas (my aunt). I felt a certain type of way because I'm like that just came outta nowhere. I pay help pay bills but that's just ridiculous.

So you are all twisted up over something a 9 year old said? That's Hall of Fame sensitive there.

It's not that she's 9 it's that she got it from somebody else...

[spartan55]

Yeah... and? ... what are you going to do? People are going to talk shit about you no matter what.

Will you be able to get a job with this Masters or is it a gibberish degree?

[Asker]

Does it matter? I'm talking about my cousin.

If you can actually get a job than you can respond "school is my job, until I leave and get a great job".
If you are just hiding in grad school than the kid is right.

[Asker]

Not that, it's just the fact she came up and said it. She had to have heard it from someone

[panamared1]

I agree with you, somebody is judging you by their standards, not understanding your goals and she heard them

[Asker]

Exactly
