I live my parents after being fired and then deciding on a career change, no one has decided not to date me because of that.
Not a deal breaker but if your a guy in the same situation looking for a girl then you better lie
Lolololol I dont think it’s bad
Then your one of the few
Depends on your situation. For example, I’m temporarily living with my parents at 25 because of financial issues. I plan on moving out again once I get that resolved.
I think all the people who moved out at 18 are all flat broke now cause they had too many expenses from the beginning. Save money while you can and have a nest egg.
It is a western ideology to live an individualistic life.. Africans Asians middle easterns.. they all tend to take care of their parents.
Believe it or not your parents are growing older and less capable of doing things.
Now if their super rich and can hire help you can go
At least that's how it works where I'm from
Could be worst. I personally don't have a problem with it. I'm makes good financial sense to not spend frivelous money and to save by utilizing your parents if they are willing to let you still be at home. As long as you are willing gti stay at his place here and there it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
It is actually economically smartest thing to do. But i would prefer if she is willing to move out in order to live together if the relationship progresses that far.
Not a deal-breaker but you certainly want to try to get started in life.
My ex is in her thirties still living at home. We where together for almost 9 years. I moved in with her and her mom. Then later her dad and further down her worthless brother moved in. She refused to move out always some excuse I eventually moved out. Honestly I see her in her 50s living with her mom and dad brother with the 7 cats they have.. I should of left sooner..
Your dating life/bringing home a guy doesn't have to be intense. Have them come over, it's not a deal breaker as long as you're not ashamed of it. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
I don't some do some people have this stupid thing of having to leave at 18 which is dumb I also live with my mom because it's cheaper and I have no reason to find my own place no relationship s I go and come when I please and pay rent if your cool with it find another adult who is leave the children to their debt and have fun
No. But I wouldn't really believe that you are truly independent. Unless you can prove it or have evidence you have lived on your own without literally anyone's help for more than two years.
I’ve done everything for myself since I’ve been 16. I only live with my mom. I buy my own groceries. Help with bills. I put myself through college. I bought my own car. I know I’m independent. I just don’t think it’s necesary to rent and pay someone’s elses mortgage. I rather wait a bit and buy my own house.
Exactly!
Renting an apartment isn't paying someone else's mortgage
How have you done everything for yourself when you live with your mom? that's her house not yours
@asker unfortunately that's not really saying a lot. You buy your own groceries but do you cook every meal and wash up every time? You help paying the bills but do you know how to set up utility contracts and understand laws in regarding to utility bills? You bought your own car, but did you chose a good car by your own judgement? Did you paid your license, lessons and all the maintenance that come with it? Essentially, you can say all kinds of things but ultimately, the greatest evidence you can back yourself up with is you literally move out and live entirely on your own without ANY support from anyone else. Financially, emotionally AND logistically.
Thank you!!
Lololol I answer yes to all of that! Let’s just change it then... let’s just put it this way: I pay rent and my mom lives with me. That’s more of my situation because I’m the one that pays bills, I’m the one that cooks and cleans. You guys act as if just because someone lives with their parent they’re automatically coddled. Whenever the moment comes to move out, i will. I hadn’t my own apartment that I paid monthly for. Did I find it necesary? No, which is why I live with my mom, who actually benefits from my presence more than I do from hers.
I had my own apartment*
Girl you just said u love with your parents. omg I'm done 😆😁
@maddithebaddi we agree to disagree because ultimately your judgement is clouded by your narrow minded opinions regarding the situation. You can only speak for yourself as I can only speak for myself. I understand, you probably had to work at an early age and move out at 18 starting from scratch, as many people have. I had to provide for myself and help my household after my dads death when I was 16. No biggie. I did what I did and continue to help provide my mom. I don’t need to leech off or am depending on her. I contribute and work. Independence is having what’s necesary to survive by yourself. If I was forced to leave my house tonight, I have more than enough money and knowledge to move into an apartment that same night. I don’t have to borrow or run around frantic. Regardless, the original question wasn’t even about independence; thus, this is rendered unnecessary.
One thing stood out to me is that you said you had (more) benefit by living with your parents (instead of living on your own). Meaning that you are right now, living an easier life compare to someone who truly live independently. If you are truly being 100% doing everything yourself in the house, you would not be living any easier life than someone who live out on their own. You would've received absolutely NO benefit by living with your parents if you are truly 100% doing everything yourself. Meaning, you can or prove to me personally that you are capable of true independence. I believe have a strong potential that you can, far better than other freeloaders. But I still say you had it easy, compare to anyone who truly living out on their own. You sold yourself out by saying "I see more benefit of living with my mum than renting my own", meaning you do NOT had the daily 24/7/365 pressure of taking care of literally everything yourself. You had it easiER.
Exactly she is not independent . she is basically a 25 year old toddler 😁😂🤣🤣😆
All she needs is a diaper
The benefit of living with my mom is that I can take the load off my retired mom and not feel like I’m wasting my money on an apartment that doesn’t even belong to me. I rather put all the money I have into my parents house rather than give it to someone else for their pocket. People have different opinions on it. Like I said, if everyone in my family considers me independent despite my living situation... then I really feel stupid for pleading and fighting a case to both of you when in reality, you guys hold no place in my mind and shouldn’t faze me. To you, I have nothing to prove. And to @maddithebaddi I have nothing to argue about. Wish you the best.
And there is nothing wrong with that at all. thats good you're helping your mom. the confusion just lies at the word "very independent ". there's nothing wrong with living at home
Lol this is jokes. You ask a question inviting for opinions and when you get answers that you don't like you get incredibly upset and unable to keep a cool head. Good grief.
Always thought the idea of "paying rent to others means giving money away" is such a dumb idea - we are all one and the same. The fact you separate who are "on your side" and who are not is why this world will always have violent conflicts. If you weren't living in your moms house then she'll just rent your room out and she'll get extra money anyway. No difference.
Exactly @Celq532
I have ALWAYS wanted to know this. I honestly thought it was going to be a HUGE yes, a big deal breaker for wanting to date the person living with their parents.
I still live with my parents. I literally have no bills and all my money from my job goes 100% to me. But hopefully that changes and I can get a girlfriend and find a place to move in together. Pray for me.
No, cause I'm 24 and still live wit my O. G.. As long as she workin toward somethin.. Lol.. I generally don't care..
It would only be a deal-breaker if he has no ambition and is not trying to better himself or make it so that he'll be able to have his own place one day.
A good 35% of my co workers at a cooperation live with their pants. Fuck this economy.
I dont have a car but live alone. Im ashamed and emberrassed about no car. So I dont date.
I hope people live with pants, could you imagine not having a house without any pants
Yes, I can imagine. As soon as I'm home. Pants are off. I hate pants.
@Sixgun77 lol same
@BrittBratt2416 apologies for the typos. I was on a bus and had to leave for work in a hurry. At my corporation that I work at a few people live with their parents but have a car. I have my own place but dont have a car. We dont get paid enough for both like our parents didm
That's fine sense there's a lot transportation options out there like taxis, buses, and uber. Plus you can save up for a car if you want to anyways, but at least you have you're own place. I don't have my own place or a car yet I do drive but just don't have a car =/
@BrittBratt2416 based on stigma. Id rather have my own car than regardless of if I live with my parents.
I dont care you wanna go out ill take you to the fanciest Mcdonald's i know
The fanciest you say? And they say chivalry is dead 🤧
😂 lol
In Arabic culture we move out of our parents house when we get married or live abroad
It is good, they are the who raised us and gave us everything, so I don't see any problem with that
Same in ethiopian culture! Men choose when, but typically women leave once they find their life partner.
Aha
Even men
I still love with them
It depends why, and in what circumstances, she lives with her parents.
That's pretty standard where I'm from. People still have enough sex so that is not a problem. Also as long as they can cook, clean and have a job its not a deal breaker.
