Since you are talking life after marriage, this view might be agreed upon by many and if i ask you, whetehr it is advisable to move away from your parents in your college life, what would you say? will it be a wise decsiion even then? my views are staying with your parents also one will learn to accept or tackle life's problems....all by himself...life will teach you everything.....

I would say I am living away form my parents since 5 years and visits once or twice in a year. The fact that I ma leaving ways from them I have to make all most all the decisions and take care of the house and cook food, shop for it and everything that I do also like paying bills and going for work, there is no one to help me out so I think I am quite a strong from inside that I can cope with many of the hard difficlut times that I might face

First of all, it looks like you have seperated from your parents after your marriage....isn't it? maybe it might have helped you to discover the real trutyh oflife which you also couldrealize in a simpler way because of the maturity you have now...but, even then i feel to be a success and to grow into a strong individual, one need not alway's seperate from their parents..

It makes you realise the hard facts of life. Until you come out of the cushioned cocoon your parents gave you you'll never know the real world.

In someway's yes, it will definitely teach you the real fcats of life in a very hard way and if you are staying from your parents for a short time, it's fine, but if it is for ever, then maybe some people who are to close to their parents might get effected by this and which also might reflect in their personal life later on...don't you thnk so?

LIVING AWAY FROM YOUR PARENTS WOULD DEFINITELY TOUGHEN YOU UP BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD REALISE THAT YOU ARE ALL ALONE AND THERE IS NONE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. ITS YOU WHO HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING,BE IT YOUR WASHING,CLEANING,COOKING FOOD,ETC. LIVING ALONE WILL MAKE YOU SELF SUFFICENT....YOU WOULD BECOME MORE EFFICIENT THAN YOU WERE. YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF EVRYTHING AROUND YOU.

Maybe, your parents will come wherever you are whenver you require them...but, you cannot depend on them like you were before when you were living together...isn't it? it's very very hard to cope with all small small things on your own and taking out time for everything also looks difficult ....so, time changes everything and you will grow stronger...

i believe it does make you a stronger person. give you the chance to deal with everything on your own with no one to fall back on. but always know that they are there when you really need them

yes...you are right.Being independent, you will learn many things which you might be doing for the first time on your own...isn't it? sometimes, it will be easy and sometimes, going will be tough and sometimes you will have shortage of time also to finish of everything....all these things will certianly develop you stronger in a hard way..isn't it?

I think that moving away from parents is a good thing, between 18 & 21 is a good age to cut the apron strings, there are too many young people staying with their parents too long, then when they move out on their own they get into a lot of debt, can't handle living with someone else (having to do washing,cleaning,etc) People who live with their parents until late in life usually end up being selfish and self orientated (as everything is done for them.)

Yeah...you are right to some extent and if not being away form your parents doesn't alway's mean that you will end up selfish and self oriented...maybe some people end up likie this..but, definitely not all....isn't it? what do you say about this? but, being away from parents will definitely make you stronger....

Yes living on your own helps you to grow as an individual with responsibilities. You can experiment with things and accept the consequences without anyone nagging you making a mistake. It definitely makes a person tough because they can only rely on themselves most of times and it can make them realize that their parents are right when they said that the world is a hard place to live.

Living on your own and making yourself stronger might depend upon your age .....don't you think so? suppose you move out of your parents grasp or hold at a very young age, do you think you will learn many things on your own andgrow stronger or do you think it might have negative effects as you are still young and not mature enough to take pressures staying away from your parents?

I agree withy you as i myself won't agree with moving away from your parents to grow yourslef tougher as i think being with your parents you can grow even tougher as you can see your parents wit you alway's and i also think that parents need you in their old age and you need to help as they had helped you at your young age...don't you think so?

After getting married and staying away from your parents is a different thing.But, would you seperate from your parents at your young age? will it not effect you seperating at young age? doesn't it have adverse effect on you instead of positive effects..what do you say?

What about you? are you away from your parents? planning is alway's easy....but, actually undergoing stressful circumstances is difficult.If you really a young chap and planning to move away from your parents then, mind you, it is not that easy as you put it....going will be very tough without your parents around...

definitely...as you know parents are gods to us..they are the gods who are in front of us..we need to serve them more and more..as we are the one who is living on this earth because of them..from the childhood onwards to we grow...they were everything for us..when they turn in the old age we need to really take care of them...moving far from parents pinches a lot..I dont like that..yes it toughens me a lot..

He....you seems to be very emotional person.You are also talking on my lines here. But, i liked the way you expressed your views.Your parents were around you when you needed them most...isn't it? now, you should also be around them when they need you more...isn't it? how nice of you to feel this way...really..great you are.Keep it up.Don't worry, people like you won't fail...you will reach new heights with your parents blessings, faith in god and believe in yourselves....you will become a tough individual being with your parents...All the best...

yup it does toughen toy, but it doesnt mean u are a better person, u will lose the support u would get so, u wouldnt have anyone to console u u will lose hope if u fail, u wont have the experienced parents to back u up in what ever u do, nobody to tell u wn u are going wrong, nobody to help u wen u are misareble, no body to cry with, nobody to to doo many things......

Yes....yes...yes...so many points and i do agree to all of them.Once you are out of your house and start living on your own , away from your parents, you will be surrounded by selfish people who will see only their progress and not anyone else's......and you tend to become weeker facing these people and the problems coming along....isn't it?

Everybody seems to have this common opinion of growing stronger with parents around.But, it alldepends on many factors like, what age you are moving out of yopur house, what circumstance you had to leave, whetehr you really can cope with problems that will come later....just because making statements is alway's easy..and implementing it is difficult...for sure..
