breaking away from parents advice needed
i’m 22, and preface i will 100% call my mom to drive me if i do not feel okay to, i dont have a problem and prefer to actually so that is not my issue here. i’m taking my first WSET class next week and my mom will NOT let me drive to and from. i understand i’ll be sampling wine but its not a casual wine tasting, its the first step I’m solidly taking towards my career in the wine industry (which as a woman is already a bit daunting) but i’m not going there to get tanked or to DRINK wine. it’s so beyond frustrating because how the hell do you expect me to get a job in this industry tasting wine if you think doing that will leave me incapacitated to the point of not being able to drive, because it would mean i’d have to option BUT to rely on her for rides from here on out and that is NOT AN EXPECTATION OR STANDARD i want to set at all. We have issues breaking away in concerns to my independence but its odd to come from her and it feels like simply scared because of a lack of knowledge. how can i let her know that it’s going to be okay that i have a wine class and can drive myself home and that if i’m not, she has to trust me and my decision to call her if i’m unable to?
