Living away from one's family is seen to be a normal thing when the condition warrants it. To those who live with there family, it is not the best thing to do. In the real sense of it, living with one's family makes the parents more responsible to their children and also bring them more closer. However, some people believed that living away from home at times has its own advantages like saving some unnecessary expenses, more freedom and less matrimonial buddings. so, Which one do you prefer?

Been there done that. I have live away from my family for almost 2 years. Earlier this year I already bring them with me. When I change my job, I have to live away far from them. When I move, my wife just got pregnant. Luckily she liv with her family and they take care of her. I only back like once in 3 months for 3 days only. I was lucky not to miss my child birth. My wife deliver just the day after I arrive. When I have to leave them again, my son just 2 weeks old. And it is really hard by that time. Now, I have them move with me I was very happy.

As for me, I am living independently and away from my family because of work and study. It was an advantage on my part because I was able to live alone and standing on my own. It is not purely because of the freedom, instead it is an idea that I know how to be more responsible and independent.
