Where in AB you live?

Live with the gf right now. Not alone, but not with family. I find this a pretty good arrangement though.

ha ha, me too... I kinda don't feel like being around my stepfather on a constant basis. (and now I feel bad to say that, why?! ) But, I DO do my own laundry. I can't stand if someone else does it. Now that my grandfather and my stepfather's mom are here with us for a visit from Europe, I do get the home-cooked meals more often than before. And my grandpa's never been to Canada yet, so I can show him around. (He's really happy so far). So that's good.

I lived with my then-boyfriend (who has since turned into something of a 'friend', or rather, something between a boyfriend and a friend), for a couple of months last year in his bachelor apartment, with his two cats (meow <3 ), two budgies, and one fish. We argued too much though, so I moved out. But I still come to visit him when I have time.

Roger that. All of you folks going on about home-cooked meals - seriously, pick up a cookbook, it's not that hard. Well, unless you're like my ex-roommate who couldn't figure out that you needed water to make instant rice.

I'm not surprised at the distribution here, but I actually am surprised at some of the individual responses.

Seriously, all you need a recipe and some patience. But, sometimes you just cannot beat 30, 40, even 50 years of experience in the kitchen. My mom kicks my ass when it comes to cooking indian food.




I have lived on my own for two years now. I love it, except for the fact that I HATE living in Toronto.

with my girl for the past 4 years- lived away from my parents since i was 20

No, that's the part that doesn't surprise me. I just meant that some of the people who I would have expected to still live at home, don't, and vice versa. And no, I'm not going to name names.

living at home and thats where i'll be staying for awhile. like mentioned before, not paying rent and getting fed are the plus sides that cant be beat.

I understand it's a matter of personal preference (and well... convenience) but some (lol, obviously me) would argue that there is more to life than just saving money and not having to cook for yourself lol...

(ie: those "plus sides" CAN be beat)

Originally posted by exstasie I get all my meals home cooked, my laundry done, bed made

lol ok ok you're saving up for a condo, I get it. But you let your mom make your bed? When I was in gr. 3 I stopped letting my mom make my bed. hah Fuck. Do you guys who live at home have GF's? How the hell does that work? (I have to ask, sorry if I sound patronizing)

moved out when i was 19, lived with roomies, ex bf then back to the roomies after the break up... but need to get out on my own soon. sometime in the new year after i get my raside.

Some cook in the kitchen, while others.....'cook' in the kitchen. To each his own.

apparently I live alone with pigeons.. pics @ 11

In the end, it all comes down to preference. But your point is well taken � that is to say, "mom's food" and all the other perks that come from living with your parents should not hinder your transition into adult life. and I think a major part of adult life is having your own place and extending your responsibilities.

personally, I can't see myself dating someone at my age (21) and still living at home � the idea seems... for lack of a better term, too adolescent for me. But don't get me wrong, I love my parent's house! I just feel much more comfortable and in control as I have my own place and I can visit my mom anytime I like, for some good ol' home cooked meals ^_^

i live at home with my parents. its fucking great.
come and go as i please. its fantastic.

I've lived on my own since I was 17, I'm 20 now, but I was able to live in Europe, South America, Canada and the US. I pretty much go full circle and now find myself living 5km away from my parents.

And after all this time my best dish is Mr.Noodles and Kraft dinner...to name a couple.

Looking at buying a house in TO during the spring, it'll keep me put for a bit.

ya, cant imagine my rentals making my bed or cleaning my room. that hasnt happened since public school.

i have to clean the entire basement... main area, my room, kitchen, bathroom.

i also cant imagine having my parents doing my laundry. been doing that since gr. 8 when my mom shrunk a sweater i really loved by accident... after that, no one touches my laundry. its not something id feel 'right' having my mom or gf doing anyways... i dunno, seems like a task (to me) that we should just do each ourselves.

and re: gfs or just generally any sex at home... its a non issue. (it better be by the time ur in your 20s, IMO...

but i guess if it WAS an issue, id hafta move out. life's to short to deal w/ that kinda crap.

Ive been busy as shit with school and its resulted in me staying over a particular persons house a few nights a week, and i tend to eat, sleep, study, do chores there as if i was living with her. I havent been seeing eye to eye with the rents over it cos my home is 30 mins away from school (where they expect me to come to every night), and its a bitch to get to 830am classes especially when studying till late and sharing a car with a sister who cant ever be ready on time for me let alone her job. i spend a lot of time in the library too, so like I keep thinking about moving out for a semester or a year or whatever just to make things easier for myself but its a scary thought... any suggestions?

Take a risk-a chance-try something new and see what happens. It sounds like moving out somewhere more centralized where you have access to everything seems to be a good idea. However that is also pending upon your current financial position.

Sometimes the answer is SO simple and right in front of you.

What is so scary about moving out? Realize that everyone moves at at one point in their lives, if you have "issues" about moving out you have to pay attention to your insecurities and confront whatever you are fearing.

Good Luck though sounds like you may have bit off more than you can chew....

If you're responsible and you know how to organize your time, move out.

Eventually, you're going to have to do this.

So might as well learn now, before you become too relied on your parents, even when you get really old.

If you do get in trouble, your parents (at least good ones) will give you advice and help.

In a way, independence was the best thing, and worse thing that happened to me.

Either way, it's a life you're going to have to get used to, one way or another

neither

btw. don't suggest paying rent unless absolutely necessary. understanding that p00n has a high price..

Lol @ little jon jon making a stand for his independence.

Currently, I am living in France for one year by myself. Before that, I was living with my parents, and when I return, I will move back in with them. I would like to live with them at least until I finish my undergrad (one more year after this one), and hopefully longer so that I can pay down some of the amazing debt I will have incurred due to my fucking expensive school fees.

I have a great relationship with my parents, so living with them up until now has been fine.

I think age is a factor too. At 22, I'm quite comfortable living at home for now. 24 and 25 is when I'd seriously start thinking about moving out. As for having more to life, you'll be surprised how much more of a life you can have if your disposable income is 200% bigger than it otherwise would have been. I'm in school now, but back when I was working full time, my average day consisted of: [go to work | go out / party]. My parents didn't mind as long as I came home from time to time, and if you ask me, that's a pretty sweet arrangement. I don't know many people my age who are living on their own who can afford that kind of lifestyle.

There's a few options that I know of:
1) Her place
2) Be quiet
3) Don't have sex if you can't do #2

There is also the possibility that your parents can't hear you, or that they don't mind. Did you start dating only after you moved out? You must have been in the same position earlier in your life.
