you say "awakening" have you looked up "kundalini awakening" or however you spell it?

i had a similar experience @ about 23-24. was horrible. didn't want it. everything was excellent in life and then it all went to **** for a little bit

was a battle to battle back. very annoying

from your verbiage i feel like you're floating in it and i just want to say you got a while to go to get over it if what i think is true

i dont think its a cool mindset (at all really) but especially living in the west

I am all for not moving out just because you turned 18. Unless of course you have a clear goal (college, important job position, etc).
I only see advantages in not moving out of your parents' house because you don't pay rent (you only help with expenses) and you are close to people who, in most cases, care about you.

Worst case you just move back home with the added benefit that you would then appreciate everything your parents do for you that much more (also no longer feel like you were missing out on something)
Pretty good advice- I mean ofc from a purely financial perspective it’s best to live at home until you can buy your own place or get married. But to base all important life decisions off whatever allows you to accumulate the most 0s in your bank account doesn’t seem like a great recipe for long term happiness.

when we have a baby she will basically be our full time nanny too. btw i do pretty well for myself, if i wanted to i could easily just hire a full time housekeeper to do all of these things... the idea is i dont want my mom to not be apart of my life and she doesnt want to not be apart of my life.

lol its different brah. i get your perspective though, but my people like to stay very close with family. for example, i would never stick my parents in a retirement home like americans and canadians do... that would never even cross my mind.

family is very important to me, and it is to my parents too. different culture.

I couldn’t wait to GTFO of my house and I get along great with my dad. Nothing beats making your own rules and not depending on anyone else. I can’t really relate to anyone who is ok living at home approaching 30. Only exception is the people actually helping their parents with health issues but they are definitely in the minority of adults living at home.

Same. Live at home at 36, with my wife, kids, and parents. I pay a good portion towards what is left of the mortgage (3/4 paid already, and refinanced under my credit), and I pay other bills around the house. Financially, it’s not just prudent, it’s common sense. Other benefits include the fact that my parents (in their 70s) get a lot of time to spend with their grandkids.

Regarding Kim’s (valid) point, the kids have a sitter, and my parent come by at their convenience. I have cousins that use their parents as free sitters, and I find that pretty unfair.

Because the same posters bitching about never getting any, are the same posters that are still living with mommy past the age of 30.

What's it like waiting for mommy to be done with the bathroom when you have to take a ****?

Because it's pathetic? And you guys can't accept the fact that you're nothing more than a man-child?

At this rate in 20 years people will be 50 years old living at home.

Honestly sounds unreal

I'd defn be down for this scenario in the future

Yes, don't take advantage of your parents to raise your kids...I'm sorry but that's fukin bull****. If it's a culture thing for you and your parents don't mind that's awesome! I raised my kids on my own. My parents had 5 kids and there was no way in hell I would have ever expected them to constantly take care of mine.

I do babysit on occasion and have them over for sleep overs to give their parents a little break. I constantly have my kids and grand kids over for dinner so we can all hang and have a good time. I got tons of toys, crafts, outdoor play, etc...my house it set up for kids...always has been.

My husband is retired now. I have a lot of hobbies and I'm going to be starting a new job...new chapter in our life and we like our quality time just the 2 of us. Some might call us selfish...but we worked our asses off to get to this point.

That's too much and it's crossing a boundary.
It's not as much about what the woman thinks as it is about me personally. Even when i have a long term gf, i don't usually even have sex with them when visiting and staying with parents or siblings for a couple days just because i like the fact that my relationship is still PG rated with all them.

Whatever **** em. I lived at home till I was 30. Bought a condo and rented it out before moving in. Profits from rent went towards renovations. The only person you should be comparing your life to is yourself from yesterday.

Exactly! 90% of my friends who are grand parents now are raising their grand kids. They all look so tired and miserable and I'm not kidding.

Sorry, that's not how I want to spend the 2nd half of my life...

i'm 27.. this started at 25ish or so and really hit me just over 2 years ago. It could have been a kundalini awakening.

The thing is my life was not excellent - i was fkn miserable and depressed, hating life.

Now i am super happy.

yeah it's like that for me as well.

Some things are just sorta rude or disrespectful.

If i had a proper girlfriend i'd just move out anyway.

Almost 31 now and married, have lived in a different city than my parents since 18 but would totally have lived with them during school if it had been possible. As another miscer said, we only get so much time with our family members before they're gone. Just the cold cruel truth
