Im 23 and I still live with my parents

[ag]

Help me understand this. Im 23 and I have 2 older stepbrothers who BOTH live at home. Yes they both have jobs, but thats really not important. I really want to know if anyone thinks its uncommon, or just plain wrong for someone over 21 , who has a full time job to be still living with thier parents. My stepmother told me flat out that as much as she loves us and all she thinks its embaresing for us to be living with her. She cringes telling her friends that we still live there. Gee thanks thats a real compliment

Stay at home as long as you can! Youll save a lot of money that you can use for your future. I didnt move out till I was in my late 20's and I regret it. Try and stay home till you get married. Its cool to be on your own, but it sucks having to shop for food and do a wash in some cheezy laundramat with a bunch of wet backs looking at you. You have your bed made, clean clothes, when your sick someone takes care of you. Move out, and thats all gone, my man! Tell your mom to stop hassling you or you'll move out and never call her again! That'll shut her cake hole fast!

take it in stride. i wish i could still live at home; instead i'm scrounging up money every month to pay New York rent.

If you live at home because you want to (and you are wanted there), who cares what anyone thinks?

However, if you feel like you're not wanted, by all means, move out.

look at it this way, its free. alot of people at 23 still live home. im 20 and prob will then cause im goin to school and took a year off first. i may get a place but its also convienient to live home. when your 27-30 it becomes a bit sad but for now, enjoy the free place...and food

Silent Bob you one rude motherfucker, she like to go down on you, suck you. line up 2 other guys and make like a circus seal

Yes.

You cant really depend on peoples opinions on this matter because anyone that lives (lived) home past this age will say its ok, and anyone that moved out like an adult at 18 will say it's wrong.

It's s harsh economy! Take it in stride. Really.

You'll strike out on your own. Just remember to give your parents something for room and board.

No, you're wrong. I've been on my own since I was 20. No parents. No safety net. Nothing.

There's nothing wrong with living with your parents after 18. BUT, I do believe one needs to chip in if they do.

this just reminds me of when my eldest brother came home from after 4 years in the Navy, i believe he was 23. When he left I got his room, which was a dream come true. before that i had to share a romm with 3 of my other brothers. Eventually one got kicked out and another went in the Marines and that just left me and the youngest brother at home.

after my eldest brother was home for a while he started to get on my nerves. he was borrowing razors and socks from me and my dad and this one day I started calling him a "freeloader" (i was 17) and i kept calling him a freeloader until he got in my face and said "say it again, i dare ya"

so you know what I said:

"well, you know what you are"
:)

i still laugh to this day and actually feel kind of bad about it. he didn't live with us too much longer and has had a successful career and we are still very close.

anyway, it's really noone's business other than the family's, there is no right or wrong... but like Fuzzy says, it is wrong to take advantage, chip in financially and especially with cleaning and upkeep, and make it easier on everyone.

i'm 24, and i still live at home with my parents. there's nothing wrong with it. i don't pay rent, and my meals are taken care of when i come home. i'm a student right now, and it just makes sense financially. even when i had an income, though, i still lived at home. my 26 year old sister still lives here, too. she's moving out this summer because she's getting married.

I moved in with my brother when i was 16/17 for almost a year. I had to take a shitty job at a fast food place and give him half of my check every 2 weeks. It sucked but i had to do it and i never complained(ok maybe once or twice when he'd act like a prick). If you're going to live at home and your way past the age of 18 then i agree with Alice that you should contribute to the household in anyway you can otherwise you are giving your parents something to be embarassed about, a lazy, spoiled child.

Hey AG , Yeah I think it's ok that you still live at home, Hell I know guy's that are 30 and still have mom doing their wash. But I also remember paying board to help my folks out when I was your age, so pay up and then when they bitch atleast you'll know your not a freeloader. Stay at home as long as your not married, cause when you marry it's time to get out.

Good luck freeloader :)

we are a new generation. our parents were out in the real world, married and working on a family by the time most of us get out of school.

i'm 26 and moved home after 8 yrs on my own. i'm deep in the hole and was only able to start a career after returning home.

all things aside, the ass kicking by life helped me out a lot, but living at home i've been able to put a small dent in my debut.

it's a cold world out there...

Just remember to give your parents something for room and board.

If you live at home after 18 and are not a student you should definitely contribute something to the house. When my son gets older he is going to hand some money over to me each and every month that he is not in college. What he won't know is that it will be going into an account for him for when he moves out.
Wish my mom did that for me.

My brother, Anthony, lived at home until the age of 27 then got married. I don't believe he ever lived at his own place. So he moved from one mother to another except the second mother he get to have sex with her.

After I graduated from college I had to move back in with my parents for a while. Although I hated being back under their roof, it allowed me to pay off some debts and save up some money to get a place of my own.

I think it's OK for awhile but a lot of people our age are just spoiled. I lived at home for about 6 months after I graduated and that was enough for me. It allowed me to save a little money but I wanted my own space and independence.

But on a side note, if I lived up there and got the same salary I do now I would HAVE to live at home because it's so freaking expensive to live there. So I understand and I say live at home until you are able to support yourself but don't take advantage of them and chip in any time you can.

I'm 24 and still live at home. My mom makes my bed, does my laundry, cleans my room. I can't MAKE her stop. It's like they're trying to get me to stay. All I pay are my own bills and they even go and pay those behind my back sometimes. I think they think that if I feel the need to move out, I won't be able to hack it so I'll end up Dr0pping out of school and getting a full-time job just to get away from them. What's most likely going to happen is that I'll finally move out one day and will be a fucking retard who doesn't know how to do anything for herself because she was never given the opportunity. But for now, living at home is great. No responsibility!

I would not wait until you are married to spend some time on your own - it is a maturation step a lot of people skip. You can really learn a lot about yourself as well as how real life works. In the meantime though, stay at home for a while and save your $$$$ - if you can put several hundred a month (or more) away religiously - it will come in handy someday and you do not want to get in the habit of spending all your takehome on "toys". If you hit 30 and are still at home, you gotta get out.

This might be the "flip side" of this story. When I was 18 or 19, I saw how my sister (then 27) lived rent free, got free groceries, and got her laundry done every week. (I was in college.) I told my dad, "Look, I see what you go through with Kathy. After 6 months of graduation I'm out of your hair. DONE! I'll be outta here!" A look of panic washed over his face. "No! It's ok! You don't have to go!" He later divulged that he missed me & our conversations while I was at school and my sister was a miserable person to live with.

Well, long story short, he died when I was 20.

My advice-- the time will be right for when the black bird flies.
