Listen to SexyMama. Mom has got a bee in her bonnet that says, "Son should contribute to household." And she has another one that says, "Son should save." And probably yet another, secret one that says, "Son should get the hell out of here and make life easier for me." But she isn't putting it all together in her head: if you pay her half, you can't save, and you can't move out. Walk through the logic with her, and maybe she'll compromise. Of course, if she just says, "Get a second job," you're up shit creek. _Then_ you have to explain why it's hard to look for a good job while holding down two bad ones.
