A Stressful Situation

I found this topic while looking up information on how to solve my own problems. It is extremely stressful trying to raise a child while living at home with my parents. After graduating college, jobs were not on abundance, and the pay for those that were hiring wasn't much -- hence, my current situation. I just feel like most times I have no alone time, and sometimes other adults living in the home can interfere/cross lines when it comes to the rearing of my child. To make matters worse, it is also an EXTREMELY small home, so there's never any privacy or quiet time. It's just stressful all around!
