i am two and half years married, we dont buy a house of our own, we just live with my parents. anyone of you are in the same situation? there are times that we cant make our own decissions coz my parent do not agree on what we are doing, but, we are not capable of buying our own house and lot.

I understand your situation and sympathize with you. I am also married and living with my mother. The only difference is that my family does not like my husband. Its a good thing that he is abroad so conflicts about him are never raised. But, on making decisions, I don't know which is harder. Letting them decide for you or making your own decision but seeing their reactions that you made the wrong choice, according to them. So anyway, while you, or rather we are being supported by our parents, we could hopefully save enough money (since we are not paying rent) to get a place of our own and learn to be independent.

i think a lot of people are in this same kind of situation. especially with the economy today. i know its really hard but until you can afford an apartment or something it have to be your parents way. why would you marry like that? any way, i hope you can afford your own place soon or else share a house and bills with someone else.

Hi nice, That is common to my friends and I know how hard it is..What they did, my 2 close friends...They have a separate food with the Family, they contribute with bills like water, electricity and cable but the food, they asked their family to have their own so they can decide and save at the same time.. SO, since they have that little privacy, they can make their own decisions but conflicts can't be avoided! For you guys, maybe just save little by little until you can afford to rent even a small room and live with your own!

[i]That's the typical problem when you are living under your parents house even when your married. Sometimes you have no freedom to decide what's best for your family. Your parents always have the upper hand in terms of decision making. Anyways,the best thing you can do is to transfer to a house of your own. Since,you can't afford it yet. You better save money for it. Good luck![/i]

that is very hard and as for me i am living at my moms house and i will move out when I'm financially stable, I've listened to my mom and her action she likes to have her own way and to meddle in my brothers relationships and i do not want to live next door to her with my husband she will come over to solve our problems and i want to try on my own.
