Living with parents at 29. Right or Wrong ?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 40 and still live at home, so I'd say no, being 29 and living at home isn't really that big of a deal.

It depends upon whether or not all parties are satisfied with arrangements. A nephew and his lover live with my sister-in-law and her husband; they all cooperate and contribute to the household; they prefer a big extended family, and enjoy their life together. Prior to the nephew finishing college, his elder brother lived with them until he married; he now lives nearby, in a one-level house chosen in part for being accessible to his mother, who had a stroke. Some day, as we all get older, rather than the adult children living with the parents, it'll be the parents living with the adult children. In many societies large intergenerational families are the norm, not the exception; it's a great pity they are not more common here.

I was my elderly parents' live-in caretaker until they passed when I was in my late 40s. I wonder if the OP is in a similar situation. nothing wrong with it in any case.

I didn't move out of my parents till I moved in with my girlfriend at 30. I have physical disabilities besides Aspergers & have other related mental 1s. I could NOT afford to move out except maybe when I was working. I paid my parents rent when I was working at two of my jobs but not the last which I only had for a couple months. I had a lot of debt partly due to medical expenses. About half my SSI check was going towards my health insurance & other medical expenses. I did pay the Comcast bill(had cable & net) & I also paid my Verizon bill.
My mom was so frustrated with me living with them that she decided to buy me a house. My dad works in construction & the house needed aLOT of fixing up. My aunt was staying with my grandma at the time & my parents wanted someone to be living in the house, so dad fixed it up just enough for my aunt to move into a bedroom. Then he sort of abandoned the project. He has ADD & jumps around with projects around the house. He starts lots of things he never finishes. I think the plan then was for me to move in with my aunt after the place was fixed up enough but I would of rathered hang myself than live with her. My plan would of been to kick her out & take in a girl who needed a place to stay for some reason cuz I wanted companionship cuz I was desperately lonely & I HATED sleeping alone. Perhaps you could do something like that OP if you want a realtionship & can afford a big enough place where you could have someone else living with you. It's just an idea incase your lonely & want to move out of your parents but don't want to live alone & don't need a carer.
My girlfriend has disabilities herself & is also on the spectrum so we try to help each other out. I'm classified as her live-in-aid so my income won't screw up her benefits & she really can not handle living alone so technically it's true in a sense. It works for us thou we do want to be married. I got off the subject again
