You live with your parents since birth. They love and take care of you, educate you until you found the job you dreamed of. Do you think it's about time to live alone or stay with them still?

I think I will keep living with my parents, until I find my perfect wife. But the future is never certain. I'd move if I could, but not too far away. Some place like 10 ~ 30 minutes away from my parents' house. I wouldn't like to know that I am living alone, far away from my family! As I said, only if I find my wife.

thanks for replying. Sometimes, parents are like that, it's because they think they are always right :) I'm glad you always stay in touch with them.

I think that if you and your parents are okay with the fact you are still around then it is okay. My parents get homes that are bigger than they really need so that if we want we could come and live with them.

yeah, you're right! And also, i think, parents don't really mind about that.

It depends on financially stable you are. I think after you get settled and really are able to take care of yourself without parental help, or very little at all, I think it's time to move out and give your parents a rest! They've took years out of their life to raise you, so I think it's only curteous to move out and let them have me time now.

yeah, true! But for sure, they won't mind, as long as you're helping them when you're start earning.

I'm 17 at the moment, and I plan to move out at 18 or 19; whenever I can get enough money to split an apartment with some roommates. Whether or not they decide to stay with their parents depends on the indivudal. Some people are afraid of that feeling of independence, being away from home and having to sustain for yourself. On the other hand, some people are afraid of leaving their parents alone, since their parents may depend on them for support and help around the house. Me, personally, I can't wait to move out. In my opinion, children should move out as soon as possible, gain their own lives and build their own accomplishments; then pay their parents back by buying a house for them, and a visiting nurse, and whatever else they need or want. This way, the children repay the parent for all those years of raising them.

Dad - being his usual lazy self. Hahaha
I'll respond from the other end of this spectrum. My father is 83 years old. In bad health with a bad heart high cholesterol CGH etc. He now lives with me. He called asking me to take care of him 4 years ago. So now I am actually his father raising him as he is also suffering from mild alzheimers disease and demntia. So enjoy your parents as long as possible because you're given just the two to love and care for even in their dying days. I love taking care of dad actually. It's very hard work but worth it as it shows him and my siblings how much of a loving man/son I am. Here is dads picture. Sleeping in the lazyboy of course. HAPPY POPSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I am 22 years old, I moved out of my parent's house when I was 18 and lived on my own for 3 1/2 years. Recently I moved back home and my parents have been helping me and my 2 kids. I am grateful for this. Of course I am wanting to move into my own place soon, Within the next 3 months I will be starting online college, and I am looking for a new job too. So I can not wait to get on my feet and move out and provide a great future for my kids!
