They respected my privacy when I was living with them before. We have a good relationship but like someone mentioned, kinda a kick to the ole pride when you move out then back in.

Can you come home drunk with 2 or more chicks whenever you want? No? Well theres your answer.

Well considering shes a chick.. i dont think her parents would even think twice about seeing 2 other girls with her.. do you?

That is, of course, if she isn't a lesbian.

Definitely move back in with your parents. Yes, the relationship is key. If it's bad right now, you can work on improving it. If it is good already, then so much the better. Not sure why so many people these days think it's taboo to live with your folks, sheesh.

You are a girl. Do what most girls do when making cost of living decisions: get your boyfriend to support you.

 

[randomlinh]

a kick in pride.. blah.. you're being smart and saving up some dough. it sounds like it wouldn't be a big issue w/ your parents, so go for it.

I would never hesitate to live with my parents, they don't intervene in my life in any way.

Same situation for me.

I'm living with my parents right now until I get posession of my house...

The poll is biased beacsue most people on ATOT still live at home. For those of us who moved out at a young age know the importance of independant living.

Plus, how are you going to feel telling your dates you live at home yet you are a grown woman. No shaggin in the 'rents house!


Moved out at 17 and never looked back!

 

So your parents are going to charge you rent?

If I move back home, I won't be charged "rent," but I'll be expected to give a couple hundred every month. Its just my parents though, but then they'll just keep the money there and probably give it all back to me when I move out and buy a house.

At least, its what I expect if I move home.

Try to negotiate your parents down to zero rent Seriously though, it depends on what your current situation is compared to what your parents will be like. If you really could use the extra cash, and mom and dad are laid back, than go for it. As long as you have a plan to move on once you graduate go for it.

I lived at home for several years after graduating but my parents didn't bother me at all. I got to save a lot of cash and build up savings. Once they retired though I reached the point where it got to be annoying so I moved out. Just like I'm too old to have a roommate, I got too old to live at home.

In my case, my parents live with me. It's more of a mutual relationship. Mainly because without them, I wouldn't be able to afford my house note and car note and put food in my belly. My folks don't give me any crap, I come and go as I please, do whatever I please, invite whoever I want over for as long as I want, and I get a home cooked meal every day after I get back home from work. My paychecks pretty much go directly to my mortgage, car, and a little bit of spending money. My folks pretty much pay for all utilities, food, and other nicknacks.

 

[illusion88]

If its zero rent do it!

If you don't have much of a social life right now the extra money would be nice. If you are goign out alot, taking girls back home, then perhaps you should stay with your roommate.

 

[2cpuminimum]

Try to save the money savings if you can, rather than blowing it on a car.

 

[Kalbi]

Do you have asian parents?
If yes, then no.
If no, then yes.

 

[edro]

If the rent is free and you get free meals, then yes.

If not, then no.

 

[Sex Smurf]

If you need to ask here, moving back with the parentals is probably your only option.

Ok, here's the situation. I'm going to school full time and working about 35 hours a week. Right now I'm renting out a room from someone, so it's not like I have my own place or much of my own space. My parents have a new townhouse with an extra room and offered it to me for $200 less then what I'm paying now. I'm kinda split down the middle on this one as are some of my friends, so asking the greater masses here.

Pros
Cheaper Rent
Able to use a car (I can't afford my own car atm because of insurance and gas prices so been walking/biking/busing to where I need to get to).
Get to be with my dogs
High Speed Internet Connection

Cons
I'll be living with my parents again...
Moving all my stuff

So, whatcha all think?

Do your parents let you smoke pot?
And High speed internet is worth it even if they don't

:thumbsup:

that pretty much sums it up.

 

[CTrain]

You're only 21, so sure do it.

For me though, I'd rathered clean toilets for the rest of my life then to live with my parents again.

Sure, I love my parents and I'll do anything for them but no chnace in hell I would ever live with them again.
My parents are the 2 most medling people I know.
If I could ever be nagged to death...yeah I'm pretty sure my parents can do it.

It's not actually, I could continue on living where I am right now. Renting out a room in a townhouse with a very nice older lady who loves to do gourmet cooking. Just she is a heavy smoker, and I'm not at all. Having smoke when I'm eating kinda makes me ill.

 

[Spike]

No! Well, I guess you could but I love being out on my own... well, I was on my own then I got married but thats another story...

If the money is a huge issue then go for it, I don't see anything wrong with a year or so back at home. I loved moving out and learning to fend for myself but everyone is different. Now that I am married it's not really the same as living with my parents would be kinda strange... not to mention that we just bought a townhouse.

Meh, I lived with my parents until I was 23. Given the choice of blowing most of my money on rent or saving it for a house, I chose to swallow my "pride" (who cares anyway?) and live with my parents.

 

[ColdFusion718]

If you want to save money then yes; otherwise, don't do it. There's something more valuable than money--freedom.
