how many of u still live with your parents???
- Thread starter nail_polish
- Start date
I still live with my parents for the most part, but I'll probably move out next year to be closer to the city. I like living at home, my parents are cool, I like the country and its so much better for my non-existant finances - the only problem I have is travelling so far each day for uni. Still, I spend several months a year living out of home as it is, so I may as well move out... it'll be a hard decision though (there's no going back).

I dont, both my parents are in Lebanon, I rent this house for now until my own place is completed back home. It's currently being built as i type this. the price tag for the house is round 90-100 grand canadian, to you that might not sound much but back there you can practicaly build a mansion with that kinda money lol.. i should have all my college classes done by then as well :thumb:
having a good relationship isn't enough to me. i have a good relationship with my parents. they love me and i love them back. but with that being said, there are other factors that come in to play. mainly having to answer to people. i'd say i was raised well. during the years as a teenager they have been strict, yet liberal at the same time. up until a certain point they were semi-strict where i had to be home at that and that time, but then suddenly they just let go of all the ropes and let me do pretty much whatever i pleased. but i think my parents underestimate me. we don't really talk much about stuff that's going on, mainly because i feel uncomfortable sharing things that bother me with people. i've grown to become mentally and physically tired 24 hours a day because of what my parents want of me. for instance, if my parents come down to my "appartment" in the basement and it's messy, you can be damn sure that they are gonna comment on it with something like "you should clean up this mess" or "looks kinda messy in here". they're nagging about eating right, excercising, whenever i used to be late for work and my parents drove me before i got my license, i always got that speech about bosses and being late to work. every time. it's come to the point where i don't really do anything good in my life unless my parents demand it. i never clean my room unless they say "you're cleaning your room or else". of course, there is nothing they can do if i actually don't clean the room, but that will just add to all the stress cause i'll have them nagging even more. they nag about me staying up late at nights. they have their ideas about how things should be and they don't seem to understand that as do i. then again i never tell them what bothers me and stuff. for instance, my dad thinks that it is good to go to bed early and get up early in the morning. he thinks that it is good to wake up early like an hour before you have to go to work/school so you can take your time. i see no point in getting up an hour in advance and then spend an hour staring out the window or watching tv. i hate getting up early, waiting to go to work is like waiting to go to the dentist. i'll rather just get up and get ready so that i leave instantly and make it to work a few minutes before i'm supposed to be there. yet they nag lol. by the sound of it, it might sound like i hate them, but i don't. it's partially my blame to take because i never talk to them.
anyway, the point is that i want to move out because i feel the need to be free. my motivation to do things is weakened severly. i always put my phone on mute and put it on the carpet floor so i won't notice if somebody's calling because i feel stress even when friends call me. i am officially a wreck. i need some time on my own to do the things i want to do the way i want to do them. to find myself, like the_one said, to fix my life up and get my motivation back. the lack of motivation really makes me depressed pretty much all the time because i never want to do stuff. the little time i have off, i wanna spend it doing nothing. even the things i like don't appeal to me. like if i sit down and think to myself "maybe i should go play basketball" or "maybe i should go to the cinema", two things that i like to do, i end up not feeling like being bothered. i just wanna do nothing lol. most of the time i want to just go to sleep and sleep for a million years and wake up and everything would be good again. so yeah, i definately want to move out. i can't though, because of financial reasons. meh, what's this got to do with the thread anyway.

... I feel ya tho.
I kinda start to feel special - didn't think so many would still live with their parents. Well, I live on my own and it's all good, it really helped me. It's all good with my parents, I spend stil la lot of time with my family adn see them like every 3 days or so and that's the way I want it casue I love my parents, my sisters, my granny, my dog - I want to see them you know. All of them. But still movin out helped me doing some things and to focus, I need a lot of time alone you know.
even if I have no money 
lol
