I'm graduating college in 2 weeks and my boyfriend wants to take me to Florida for a vacation. Mind you, I haven't been on vacation since 2006 and have
been working and going to school. Some background info: my parents pay for school for me but they know I'm grateful about that. They love my boyfriend and
we've been together for almost a year and a half. It's nothing against my boyfriend, but my mom said "it's not right in her book because
we're not even engaged and I don't know where my life is going" aka I might not end up marrying him. It's Florida, not Figi for God's
sake. I have the money to go due to a graduation monetary gift my dad gave me. A week ago, when my parents asked me what I wanted for graduation (they probably
assumed I wanted a designer purse or jewelry) I said "I'd like to go on a vacation. Maybe Florida." All I've been doing is going to school
(through summers) and working. My thirteen year old brother has been to Florida, Cali, D.C. because of club soccer trips, and I wish I could go on vacation
just for a week because I'm applying for jobs, and once I find one, God knows when I'll have time to go on a vacation. My dad joked, " I bet you
want to go to ____'s house in Florida." I didn't say anything at the time because my boyfriend wasn't sure of his summer schedule at the tume.
I'm just so fucking pissed. I don't know what to do and I feel like it's so unfair. Yes, life is unfair, but give me a break. All I've done all
of college is work my ass off and I want a break for a week, one week. Now I feel like shit too because I told my boyfriend that I'm pretty sure my parents
would say yes. My parents are so proud of me and I feel like I'm their golden child or something, yet I can't go to another state for a week. I told my
mom I would be an announcer at this event that's really important to her at the end of the week, something I didn't want to do, but I'm doing it
for her. I'm thisclose to telling her I won't do it if she won't let me go, but that's immature. I'm 22 years old, so yeah, I can just go,
but not without her being incredibly pissed. I don't know what to do. What would you guys do...
