I think you are being smart living with your parents and saving money. If you want to have sex, do it at his place, or when parents aren’t home.
Not at all. If you have a degree and a good paying job then theirs nothing wrong with that. It does take away from some privacy though.
I think it's normal if you help at home in some way like paying some things.. electricity, gas etc.
Maybe you are saving money to your own house or apartment and you don't want to waste money in a rental home or apartment
Saving money through living at the parents' house is no different than asking parents for money to save to buy a house.
but if you contribute with your salary to help the house, it is different
Depends on how substantial that contribution is. If it's like $100 a month, then that's a joke. Living with parents saves at least $800 a month, does she pay her parents $800 a month? I don't think so.
Nah you’re good. Because if it were me. Then the next step as your boyfriend would be your next home will be with me in our home. See
Not at all. Especially in states that have high cost of living expenses, there's nothing wrong with it.
I'm a 27 year old living with my widowed monther. I get free sympathy points.
Just phrase it in a way that will get sympathy. After if they like you when they find out the truth it won't matter.
Yes. If you live with your parents it means we can't get into your pussy so there's no reason for any guy to want to date you. Unless he's a homeless bum who's after your money.
Wow, just how stupid are you? I had no problem getting into pussy of women who lived with their parents. Just couldn't do it in front of them.
My parents invited boyfriend to move in with us to make his work commute easier. They asked us to please not keep them up at night, or at least try to plan for even they weren't home.
*we've had our own place for nearly a year now.
Housing is expensive compared to the times when Friends was made and besides you probably aslo take care of your mother as much as she takes care of you.
Not anymore. It's expensive out there! Yes I want my daughter to be independent but I won't penalize her. As for anyone wanting to date her, they should realize that jobs don't grow on trees anymore.
No I love women who live with their parents for 2 reasons. I don't have to pay any bills and 2) She can go home after long weekend together. Not live with me. I also have mad respect for girls who are very nice to parents.
You sound like an immature asshole with your reasons.
You sound like old grandma who is from the 50s
Nah save all the money you can and put some into an investment account or something if you feel confident enough. Definitely not a deal breaker for me. And the rest of the stuff I was going to ask you already answered for others
I don't think so. You've got a good paying job and you've got a degree, that should be enough.

Well, it takes away a lot of privacy and such, wich definitely would be annoying for me
NOPE, cause I unfortunately still live with my parents at 26 cause California is stupid expensive to live in. And I’m in severe debt
You are not independent. You live with your parents
Just because I live with my mom doesn’t mean I don’t pay my own stuff and make my own money. So if I had a roommmate I wouldn’t be independent?
No you still live at home. thats not independent
No you wouldn't be independent with a roommate
To each their own. If I live with my mom and she herself considers me independent because I contribute and provide then I guess that answers that. In your perspective, married people aren’t independent unless they live in separate houses...
You're not married and marriage isn't the same nor the subject. you aren't independent until you live on your own and pay all bills
Your own place
We have different outlooks on what independence is.
The guy below says the same thing. That's not independent
If she is paying for all the bills, that are in her name, without any assistance and contributing to the household that's quite independent.
In fact, that's smart. Save up money instead of wasting it on rent, which you walk away with nothing, and dont really have true independence. Apartments have restrictions - painting the walls, noise ordinance, pets, parking space, etc.
I never said it was bad. she implied, "I'm very independent ". I'm just saying she not
What's the definition of an independent person?
You need to be asking yourself that.
Not true. One parents could be sick and the other parent help taking care of sick parent or other parent has passed away
I don't think you know what Independence means
What if I give my parents money? Which I do by the way.
Time to leave the nest chickens 😂🤣
@maddithebaddi you are right even though everyone disagrees.
I used to think im very independant paying my own bills and tgat when i lived with my mom, but when you get your own apartment that a whole other level of independance that you need. Thats actually getting your shit together, not just paying bills.
This is taking care of your household, insurences, other things that you suddenly need, being able to fix everything yourself, making your own calls etcetera. You dont know what indepence is until you leave your parents house...
Oh and you'll find out how much you were actually still depending on your parents , things you usually dont think off.
This is all my own experience by the way 😊
@Pikachula I disagree... I understand what you’re saying but I disagree on you stripping me of my independence just because of one factor that had the potential of having correlation but, fortunately, does not. The day I leave my house, I won’t be scared. I won’t be nervous. I know who to call. I’ll know how to get my water and electricity get turned on, oh and best believe I won’t forget to bring the 75 dollar deposit needed for the water bill and the 120 dollar deposit needed for the electricity. In essence I have no reason to call my mom when I leave other to than to say hello and ask her how she’s doing. I know how it feels to be codependent, I went from saying “omg how am I supposed to do things without my parents” to actually seeing how I’ve acquired all I have on my own. She asks me for help and I always provide, meanwhile I NEVER ask her for help, not even advise. Ignoring the fact that she’s my mom, she’s basically just a landlord.
@Pikachula I agree , I used to think the same thing when I was living at home. once I moved out I had everything in my name my apartment, had to sign contracts, utilities in my name etc list goes on. thats real independence
Technically she's right, we're not fully dependent cause we still live with out parents in order to have a roof over our heads. Full dependency starts when you live home and have your own place were you can lay your head. I won't feel like an actual adult until I leave home and have a place to call my own.
@britt exactly
I knew who to call and what to do too, but its not something to underestimate, there's a lot more to it, but i guess you will only find out once you get out of the house.
Not really but I think it depends on which country you live in
Us guys are much more understanding and don't care about petty shit like that.
Before anyone accuses me of living with my parents, I moved out almost 7 years ago.
For my culture u usually stay with parents until marriage. But even for other cultures shouldn't be an issue in my opinion since you are already independent
I judge people on how they are, not where they live.
However if you are 25 and a guy and living with your parents. It's game over for him.
