I was wondering how many of you like to live with your family (with parents, siblings etc) and how many of you would rather live alone and WHY?
Well I live with my family now and like it that way. :)
I cannot get used to living alone because am so used to a noisy family environment!

I understand what you are saying. Growing up in a noisy house is great. I remember there was always someone laughing, singing(usually way off key) or teasing. I grew up in an unusually happy home. But there were times when I just laid on my bed and read a book because I needed to get away from it for awhile. Everyone needs their quiet time. But, when I wanted or needed them all I had to do was open my door and they were right there. Now I have the best of both worlds. I have my own little house in the country, I live alone,so I have my independence. But the great part is that my parents live close enough that when I want the noise, I just have to walk next door. I have 13 neices and nephews, believe me, their house is just as noisy as it always was.

Wow! YOu have quite a huge family there! You must be lucky to have the best of both the worlds. Yes, I sometimes also feel like spending some time alone but that wouldn't last long, I always am distracted by an interesting gossiping my mom and sisters have or my siblings cheering for the national soccer team!
Though I also feel If I did try to live alone with a family in neighborhood that would also work fine!

I have tried both and I'd say I'd prefer living alone. But don't get me wrong. I also like to live with my family. Only, being alone teaches you how to be dependent and accelerates you towards maturity. There are pros and cons of living alone or with your family. Either way, it just depends on personal preference. =)
