    WTF?

    Its one thing to HAVE to live at home, but doing it cos its comfy?

    People there is such a big world out there and the view from a parents house is not the best way to see it.... Holy sweet jebus ti**y fu** life is more than having your clothes washed, get out and live!

    Moved out a few months ago (I'm 20) from home and its the best thing I've ever done, get on much better with family now, better independence, and of course no nagging from the parents :D

    I moved out @ 10... Seriously, i was sent to boarding school. I was never home for more that a month @ a time.

    Living at home means:
    You can't walk butt naked
    You can't have sex
    You can't have sleepovers...
    You can't smoke

    Basically, you can't breathe!
    Ya mean you could do all that at boarding school? Damned Christian Brothers would never let me smoke.

    I moved out when I was 19.

    I'm almost 21 now and only live at home during the summer months.

    I'll be 25 when I finish college but I don't think I'll be moving back in with them. Or even living in the same county to be honest.

    My mum did say once that she thinks if college hadn't forced me to move, that I'd have never left. :o

    OP, there's no need to hesitate, just find a cheapish place to rent and you'll be grand. You are working after all. And living by yourself is grand. You get used to the cooking, cleaning, laundry etc. very very quickly when you have to.

    Can people stop refering to their parents as mammy <user name> and daddy <user name>? It's like some weird sex education video.

    Wtf... your mam is throwing you out?? Feckin hell man, that's bad, you must be really bad to live with...

    I moved out when I was 20 to live with a boy and haven't moved back yet. I don't think I will either, not with the babby an all like. My parents raised their own kids, wouldn't expect them to have sleepless nights over a baby crying anymore!

    Volvoboy you'll be fine, you will soon look back at this and laugh... its the best thing for you in the long run, try and see it as a positive as it will be a great adventure if you do but a rejection if you dont, best of luck

    i moved out when i was 18, that was 8 years ago almost now. it was when i went to college. only stayed at home at weekends and it got less frequent until now i only go home when there is something on. my parents love having me home, until the rows start 10 minutes later!

    anybody thats still at home full time after 21 is seriously in need of a kick up the a**!

    My folks didn't want me to leave especially as I would be renting and they hated that, they came to accept it and I think it has worked out for us all :)

    God I feel like an outcast here! But out of my group of friends (guys and girls) only 2 of them have moved out of home! One of them because she had a baby and another one because she doesn't get on with her parents. We're all 22/23/24. I didn't think it was that strange :confused::confused:

    Volvoboy,
    Your mother asked me to come on here and tell you to grow up. How can me and her make loud love with you there. And you stink too.
    Signed,
    Your new step father.

    Just had words with Mammy Volvoboy, basically saying she wants me out soon :mad: to this i feel scared :(

    I'm 22 and if i had my way i'd like to stay for a few more years until 25 atleast.


    So what age were you forced out of the womb house at??

    And living with Daddy Volvoboy isnt a option because he'd want me going to work during the day, the daytime is Volvoboy's ''Me'' time.

    Got to grow up sometime I'm afraid... I left home at 16.

    I left at 19 and lived out of the house for about 5 years. I'm now back a few years for convenience, but I'm off to Australia in 8 weeks. Won't be living with the parents again.

    Which is better, you ask? Living away from home, without a doubt.

    Depends on where you went to college. If you had to move out for college you are more likely not to go back. My mates are all the same bar one or two. One I was suppose to move in with when his leased finished but he left for oz recently. Now I can't get any of lads to move out and I don't want to live with complete strangers

    Left at 18..

    Had a trial job in a hotel and was told the following morning I had it.
    It was a split shift..10-3.30 and 8-close.
    Mother collected me at 3.30 and told me my new home was just around the corner :(
    She still insists to this day that she was nearly in tears about the first child moving out of home. :D
    But still it was the best thing to happen to me...I was able to stand on my own two feet...get langers drunk with no one to give out to me...bring loads of girls back and get laid with no worries...
    Whereas my other brother lived at home his whole life and while he now owns his own house he's as naive as they come when it comes to worldly matters.;)

    Left at 18 to go to college. I was delighted to get away tbh.

    It's quite common in a lot of countries for people to stay living with their parents, in Spain I think, for example.

    But I think it definitely stunts your growth and you can't party as hard as you otherwise could, which is what your 20's is for, I think.

    Was told by Poppa Goat at the age of 18 that I was cramping his style and the I should feck off. Mumsy Goat said that there would always be a place for me on the couch, but they had other plans for my bedroom. After many years of therapy I've come to accept that, like an apple, I didn't fall far from the Goat tree.
    I believe that advert on the TV is a snapshot of my life.

    Just wait until they get old and feeble and then they will be looking for you again for all the possible help ie, shopping, cutting the grass etc, driving them down for their pension etc, then tell them to f*ck off.

    More than likely they will blow their life savings and house on private nursing home fees later on so don't expect much from them.
    If you were my kid id have caught you by the ankles and dropped you into a barrel of water on day one !

    Yeah, we all commuted to college. Actually, now that I think of it, the two who moved out of home were the oldest in their families and most of the rest of us are the youngest or nearly the youngest...that might have something to do with it!

    I'd like to move out, but I cant really justify it at the moment. We live literally 5 minutes walk away from where I go to college and the mother has no problem with me staying, in fact she wants me too... only child and all that :o

    So for the moment I'm sitting pretty. I'll ride out the recession hopefully! and move out once I graduate in 3 years time.
