Mothers

Really why is it that mothers have such a profound effect on your daily life?

Good or Bad. . .why?

When I was a teenagers. . .I remember thinking I just have to put up with this for x number of years then I am out of here.
Then when I was going to college and lived AWAY from home it was like once I am off the parental units payroll. . .I am soooo out of here.
Well now I am in my thirties. I am not seeing a way out of here. This sucks.
