When did you leave home? / myLot

I would assume you felt you were ready. You felt you were ready for marriage. Did your parents approve or disapprove of the marriage? I hope you made the right decision.

I'm 21 and I still live at home. I work full-time and I'm a full-time student, so I'm not just mooching off my parents! I doubt I'll leave until I get married... unless of course I get to be 30 and I'm still not hitched! I'm sure I'd be fine if I moved out on my own right now, but it really doesn't make sense financially to do that - and I'm not pulling my hair out by living here still... I love my family... and my parents have told me I'm welcome as long as I want :)

my daughter is 19 and the same as you. All of my kids are welcome anytime in my home. I was 17 when I left and I know how hard it was for me then. I want my kids to have a great start even if they get married and need to live here they are welcome.

I was 17 when I left. I thought I was ready to be on my own. I didn't wanted to do things on my own and follow my own rules. I should have waited a while. I did move back home until a couple of times. I met a guy and got married. I now have 2 boys and am pregnant again.

What was that experience like? What things did you find harder and wish you had learned more about? What things were easy? Why did you wait til that age to move out and why did you move out at that age?

When you moved out to go to college were you on your own or still being supported by your parents? You are back home now and how is that working for you? What do you feel you need to learn before you get married and start a new life with a husband?

Good for you. What was it that was the biggest learning experience upon moving out? Is there anything you wish you would have learned before being on your own?
