Once my lease is up on my place, I plan on moving in with my mom and her husband, to save money while I am in school, until school is out. I'll be paying them to live there, but still saving alot of money.
I just don't know how I am going to stand it.
How can you stand it?

I am. It's not bad, because I basically don't have to see them if I don't want to. It's no different than living in a 1 room apartment, only I save money on rent, utilities, food, etc. I'll probably move out within the next year or so.

My parents moved out of the house permanently at 18. I don't know why its so acceptable for our generation to remain there in their mid 20s.

even when born in america, there's evidently differences in cultures... sad when parents and their children can't stand each other. It's not like you're in HS anymore...

they moved out and gave you the house or what ?

Mid-20s isn't bad... it's when you're late 20s and supposedly settled with a regular job that living with parents at home is "unacceptable". When you're mid-20s... you are still saving for your own house and settling with a good job. What's so unacceptable about that ?

For me, I was 24 when I bought my house with my fiancee (she did the same before that). Wasn't going to happen if we moved out at ~20 without a full time job and renting every month. Someone should start a poll to see who ends up where when ____.

Early 20's, but college graduation was last week and I'll be out by the end of June depending on when I can find an apartment near my new job.

I live with my parents..and I fully intend on leaving them once I save up enough money. My dad wants me to stay home forever tho and be the obedient daughter who takes care of them forever.

I'm all for taking care of them..but I dont need to be in the same house to do it. I'm the only 22 year old I know who has a 10pm curfew on weekdays and a 11pm curfew on weekends. It's ridiculous.

I lived with my parents over last summer. No big deal. They dont really tell me what to do, and I get a placet o sleep while i have a summer job. They would tell me to clean up and mow the lawn and stuff...but thats not a big deal since they are helping me out.

In all honestly..when i graduate college I will probably move in with them for atleast the summer. If I cant find a good enough job I will continue to live with them while I save money. I see no problem with staying with my parents. I love them and they will help me as long as I need it. Of course I dont want to stay with them I would rather be on my own, but living with your parents for a year could save a hell of a lot of money...enough for you to move and try to find a job somewhere else.

early 20's, been staying with the rents for a few months in between graduation/new job. I guess I'm one of few asians who can't stand it, but I got real used to living alone that it's too frustrating to live with my parents.

i live with my parents and i'm 26. if i moved out i'd be pretty much living paycheck to paycheck which i don't want to do. I really don't have any problems with my parents so it seems to work out ok.

but, there are little things that i am starting to get annoyed with. like no privacy, making noise/being loud when i'm trying to sleep, and stuff like that. also, i'm running out of room for my stuff which is not good.

i pretty much pay for all my food and everything else also

that is pretty ridiculous... that was my curfew in 7th grade, and then i started doing sports- and i got bumped to midnight.

are you asian? i am, but once i hit high school, a lot of the norms that applied to my friends (also asian) were no longer relevant. That and my dad began working overseas 11 months out of the year. And then when my mom joined him after a year, I became the sole resident of my home @ the age of 17. Heh.

I'm 27 and I live with my parents. I don't have a problem with it and they like me around the house. I'll be moving out in October or early November right before I get married though. :)

I'm 21 and I see no reason to move out until I finish college, or until I transfer to a university that is not local.

That would be sweet to be that indepentant at a young age. I would have learned a lot from that heh. My parents are pretty sheltering...but I think i am well adjusted now.

While it would be cool to have your own house at that age I would miss my parents too much, and at that point I was still dependant on them.

Also....my parents would never move and leave me and my brother behind while we were in highschool.
