Living with Parents

Post Reply New Topic

How many of you still live with your parents? I need comfort that I'm not the only one out there. I moved out for about two years but I had to move back last June because of anxiety issues. I just feel blah because I'm 25, I run a home daycare and I'm going back to school in September but I feel caught up in the stigma with living with your parents when you're an adult. I'm hoping to be able to move out with my friend in the near future.

I do, but it's due to not being independent enough to know what the frick to do if I ever do.

I have friends that are the same too...but theirs are for many different reasons so moving in with them is out of the window as well.

Well, I'd rather live with my parents than be homeless. No job means no money to pay for my own place, so I don't know how others expect me to be able to just up and move out. It's like they think everything just gets handed to you.

I live with my grandparents.

I moved out of my parents in order to go to grad school. Now that I already have ph.d., I stay away from home because of temporary post-doc positions. The moment I won't be able to get new postdoc I would have to move back to my mom's house as I have no where else to go. But I would still keep applying though. And if I get some offer I would move out of my mom's house again, and again that would be temporarily.

I don't, I moved out for college and didn't go back and live with my boyfriend.

However, we're seriously thinking about moving in with my boyfriend's family later this year.

I do. I'm 29, and have been living with my parents since I graduated university. I've had depression and panic problems, developed agoraphobia, and am now trying to find a job and then aiming to study abroad.

I went from living with my mother to living with my husband. I've never lived alone. I'm sure I could, but I don't know that I'd want to.

ETA: If my husband dies before me, I'll just move in with whichever one of my kids makes the most money or has a pool.

If my husband and I get this one house, my parents will be living with us.

I live on my own.

I'm 25 and still live with my parents. Main reasons being:
1) Lack of social skills. I NEED. NEED. NEED. to live by myself. 99% of people I meet irritate the crap out of me and I can only be around them for so long. Inability to find a suitable room mate to split the rent with for that reason.
2) Rent is too expensive where I live to live on my own. It's downright impossible.
Unless I sold my organs on the black market and/or found a way to regenerate them to harvest clones of each one and sell them as needed.
3) I can't find a good job right out of college.

So no fears, you're not the only one. It's important to not compare yourself to other people, however. Every persons situation is unique.
It doesn't mean you're a failure. s**t happens. Keep in perspective that it won't be forever, even though it only feels like it.

I lived with my parents until I was 32. I was going to stay with them and help them out, but my last summer living with them, in 2006 was too stressful for me. I didn't feel that my parents accepted and respected me the way that I was, so I moved out. It was time for me to move out.

Honestly, I miss living on my own but the problem is my depression and anxiety interfere with my job life. I usually end up having a nervous breakdown and quitting my job due to anxiety which leaves me unemployed with no income. I'm extremely shy which doesn't help.

I don't care for the stigma. I actually like living with my parents and I think they'd be pretty upset if I already moved out (given I had the ability to do that). I can do all kinds of household chores but the problem is making a living and studying. I'm almost sure I can't do that (talking from some experiences I already had). So there's no way.
But I wouldn't want to anyway...unless I get married or something in the way.
I do study but if I started working, I'd be too stressed, get fired and start having bad marks. No good. In addition to my paranoia when living all alone which wouldn't make it a pleasant experience, either.

You're not the only one And it's really nothing to be ashamed of.

I'm 25 and live at home with the family for financial reasons. I dislike it, but I've been temporarily not housed, and this is better.
