Lol @ little jon jon making a stand for his independence. :p
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 ing expensive school fees.
I have a great relationship with my parents, so living with them up until now has been fine. |

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) :p

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.

hah . 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) |
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. |

my mom still comes over and cooks and cleans for me tho. i am soooo spoiled. that's why mothers are THE BEST! |
that IS spoiled..I'm jealous... lol :)
My mom made me start doing laundry at 12, since apparently I used to change my outfit 3 times a day and throw all the clothes in the laundry after wearing them for only 2 hours :haha:
I moved out just before I turned 19 for 6 months, moved back home for a year, found an apartment and a roommate at 20, then bought my condo a year later and haven't been home since.
I don't think I could manage living at home after being out for so long on my own, unless I REALLY had to. |

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 . 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) |
I don't ask my her to make my bed. I'm one of those people who don't see the point in making the bed, but my mother is very particular and a neat freak so she'll make it everyday.
Not to mention she makes lunch for myself and my father for work lol
She is a homemaker though so lots of it she is already doing anyways.
My house is pretty big so I only really see my parents when I eat dinner with them and barely see them on the weekends as I usually live at during the nights :P
And yes, I have a GF of 3 years. She stays over at my place on the weekends or I stay over at hers. There haven't been any issues yet.
Mind you, I've only been living at home for 4 months now since school. There haven't been any issues yet in those 4 months but who knows whats going to happen.
PS. I just turned 22. I know its not that young, but at least I'm not like 30 or something haha |

| Well, I am 22, and I live with my mother. When I was in the States, I lived in the dorms my freshman year, then I lived with my sister my sophmore year, then with my ex-bf for a year, and then by myself for a year, and then I lived with two amazing roomates for little less thans year even though I spent most of the time at my ex man's house. When I moved to Canada, me and my mom bought a condo together, so it works out pretty well cause she works evenings, and I work days, so I only get to see her on weekends, but I am out most of the time anyway. I give her money, which could be counted as rent, but I think she pays mortgage and buys groceries with it. And, I still get to buy anything I pretty much want, since if I rented my own place, I would have payed way more. I think it depends on indivudual situation. I could get my own place, but my mom doesn't really have anyone else here in Canada, so I'd rather be with her..:P:D |

I'm sure she wants you to live with her too.
I'm pretty sure my mother is kinda bribing me to stay home by doing all my laundry and cooking me food still haha. |

lol @ people schooling me on how to "fool around" while your parents are in the next room...
I think I was trying to say that I don't know too many girls that would give me the time of day if they knew I let my mom still make my bed. Sounds like you guys hit the jackpot! lol

lol That's not the point! I understand that your mom LOVES to make your bed and your lunch but doesn't it bother you?
I think if anything this thread speaks loudly about Toronto's suburbs... |

LOL, I wish my mom would do it. I cook my own food and clean my own room. She might mix our landry together to save electricity, but that's about it. We actually have a funny agreement...lol...She hems and irons my clothes, or shines my shoes for $. Usually it's $5 to hem and iron my black work pants, and $3 to shine my shoes...I know it's ed up kinda, but she makes good money off me, since I don't have time to do it at 6 am...bahahha;) |
