Do you still live with your parents? If no, how far away do you live from them?

[melanieeeB]

I always used to say that when I move out, i want to be as far away as possible from my mom... now I'm living 4 minutes by foot away from her hahaha

I'm really sorry for everyone who lost their parents, this is sure not easy 🙏🏼 At least they will be with you in your hearts and memories

[Dinklex3]

I live 6,651 miles away from my parents.

A year and a half ago it was a little over 4,000 miles.

Ironically my goal has always been to be close to my parents, lol.. But it's been the opposite. I'll be back in the states next year. I want them to move to a different state where i can settle down, but the places I want they don't have property at so they're reluctant. My sisters are super close to them, but i personally think I'm better when it comes to taking care of them especially since i don't have kids.

[melanieeeB]

Oh i understand, it's easier for them to stay at their own property so far... well let's see what the future brings 🙏🏼

[AmandaYVR]

4 min? lololol. Yeah that could definitely cause some trouble.

I haven't lived with parents since I was about 20. It was one of the best decisions I ever made, moving out. Financially tough, but psychologically greatly beneficial.

I was 1300 miles away for many years. (That was both good and bad.) Then 4 1/2 hrs, and required a boat to get there. That sucked. Made the trip such an ordeal, and definitely prevented me from seeing more often.

[AviatorTom]

I moved out when I was 20. For several years, I lived in the same town as my parents, about 30 minutes away. Then I moved farther away, about 6 hours by car, for a couple years, before moving back to my hometown, where again I was about 30 minutes away,

[Heolurt]

I don't know where they live or my siblings and they don't know where Life either and it's just better this way.

[Guardian45]

There's a story there. Care to share?

[Heolurt]

@Guardian45 I'm the 3rd born of 5 and I was told my entire life that when I was born I was the only one my family didn't want because I was ugly and ruined my family's perfect look, the only reason why they kept me was because my mom didn't want the negative image of giving up one kid and having more but she would've aborted me if she knew I was going to come out so ugly. Dealt with that kind of shot my entire life but I tried living as the best person I could be, never getting into trouble and the moment I moved out they ceased contact with me and at first it hurt but it became a blessing.

[Guardian45]

I guarantee you are better off without those ungrateful bastards! Stay Strong! F them, Bro!

[Guardian45]

Karma will have a way of biting them in the ass. What goes round; comes round!

[Apple1996]

Moved out at 19 and that was about 20hrs from them. Now currently living 10hrs away from them. Still rarely visit them since I'm so busy

[Guardian45]

I bet.😂

[Emilyis]

We live 2 miles from my mom and dad because when we got married they gave us 20 ares of land for us to build our house on and it's where My friends and I used to ride our horses and 4 wheelers as we got older to the creek and picnic. It's part of the small ranch that I grew up on and my dad and mom still own.

[Gooddaze]

Sounds amazing.

[Sour-rose]

Unfortunately, yes. But honestly, i don't mind. Not saying I'm still wanting out but seeing as i wanted out when i was 21... and just a few weeks ago I almost burned down my house due to an old pan but mom was there to help... I'm glad to have them near me for now. Otherwise, I be so fked.

So... SOOOO many times I would be taking a sand paper dildo up the bum if I didn't have them.

[art84]

Yes, my dad had a stroke years ago that left him using a walker for his balance plus he is blind on one eye and can't hear well. My mom drives him and sometimes I go for his appointments and stuff. If my dad didn't need someone to care for him, I would have moved out in my 20's.

[Guardian45]

I feel your pain Bro!

[Twalli]

I would prefer to move into the house next door to my parents. The owners died in a house fire and I don't know what their heirs have planned for it, hopefully they'll put it on the market and I can get it. I might want to gut the interior and redo it, but I would need to see it first.

[Guardian45]

I used to think like you until 2009, when Dad became ill and died. Now my elderly Mom is ill, so I moved her in with me so I can take care of her.

[glennos89]

I live on my own ofcourse.

My mother lives 5 miles away from me i see her once a month probably.

My father lives 200 miles away luckely. I dont like him and I only see him twice a years at most

[Pleaznhim4me]

Yes I live with my mom. She is dead and in an urn in my living room. So I would say that is pretty darn close.

[Guardian45]

I have to agree.

[Ian69]

No, I don’t live with my parents. I have my own home, and live by myself. And you would need a ouija board, for me to visit my parents.

[Havthrills]

I lived with them for a year about 4 years ago. Now I'm 43 hours away by car. Lol. Still love them, but I live all the way cross the country. Surprised my parents by driving there for mothers day 3 years ago.

[Msputiton]

Yes. For now. But i also have an apartment at my college state. So i actually live most the time at the apartment

[menina]

I live with my mother and I can't wait to leave her! We will be living in different countries and continents.

[TroyDT2]

For the past eight years I have lived alone in the same house as I have lived in since I was 4. All of my ancestors have traveled beyond the Rim.

[petitedollbabee]

I live about 20 minutes drive away from my mum and 5 minutes drive from my dad.

[NathanDavis]

my parents live a couple of towns away... it's a quick drive though, about an hour

[LazerBean]

Both my husband's parents and mine live 6 mi away from us in opposite directions.

[AdithyaR]

Yep I live with them currently. I'm in india so it's kind of cultural thing here for families to stay together. So it's me, my parents and my grandparents here.

[Anpu23]

Unfortunately my mother in law moved in with us. Our house, our mortgage but as she can lo longer live on her own it's up to us...

[clampfan101]

I’m still struggling getting much money, plus having some serious emotional issues. It feels like things are getting worse… I wouldn’t be ready to move even if I could afford it. 😥

[Pudsmucker]

I lived 4 hours drive from home. Indianapolis. Then I move to Indianapolis which was 25 hours to drive. Two years later I moved to Augusberg Germany. That is not bad for a guy from Ideho.

[ChiTown33]

What prompted the move to Germany?

[Pudsmucker]

@ChiTown33 I was selected for the military service and my skills in the military said that I could do good there in Germany.

[ChiTown33]

Oh 👍🙂

[Blackcupcake]

I live on my own…
30min drive from my mom, around 20-30min drive from my father

[Fireguy17]

Sadly my parents have both passed.
But when they were still here, it was about 6 miles.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

My mom passed and my dad lives at the local Manor ( Highrise)

[Andres77]

I moved out when I was 17. Had a steady job since I was 15.

i like my freedom

[exitseven]

My parents are both dead but they lives pretty close. Maybe 12-13 miles.

[Becky316]

My parents died when I was very young, I currently live 3000 miles from where I grew up

[Guardian45]

My Condolences

[Becky316]

Thanks

[Guardian45]

May I ask what happened? Was it a car accident?

[Becky316]

Dad died when I was 10, mom died 2 years ago

[Guardian45]

Losing a parent is devastating! I'm sorry for your loss.

[Becky316]

Appreciate it

[DancingQueen16]

I still live with my mom because there aren't any dorm rooms at the college I go to

[TallAnon]

I live around 6000km away from them, but I do plan to move to the general area (/country) in a few months.

[Still-alive]

[Redstang88]

On my own at 18 when my dad died. 2500 miles away from my mom

[AsaKyo]

[User3191989]

I still live with them, I don't make enough to move out, yet

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Sadly, with my mum and her husband. They won’t let me move out or even get a job.

[Zolly99999]

No I do not.. I live 2000 kms ( 1250 miles) away from them

[lottiebannotie]

I don't but we live in the same general area so still see lots of each other

[Fromdusktilldawn]

still live with my family, since housing is so crazy expensive here

[Bethany22]

That sounds way too close!

[melanieeeB]

Yeaaah haha but It's actually okay, she doesn't come by at all, we don't walk into each other cause I'm still two streets behind her and my sister (9) can come on her own to me

[Jltakk]

Yep, unfortunately can't afford to move again. I help them a lot, so it works out I guess.

[RedPassion95]

I rent with her. We are pretty close and will travel more.

[Guy13]

No but within two hours…

[ShellyB]

No, I live about 20 minutes from them.

[Agape93]
