My "Moving Out" was traumatic. The finger nail marks are still in the door frame.

As stated before, do the parents not deserve the enjoyment of their own time, space, and money, without some selfish self-entitled wet baby still pulling at the apron strings after near 30 years?

You are assuming that parents don't want to live with their adult children. Some do.

These posters coming up with their imaginary friends who live in the garages and mud huts of their parents are simply trying to justify to themselves that it really is acceptable for someone past 25 years old to still be living under the rules, roof, and finances of their parents. Fact is it is not acceptable. Especially as pointed out by others that you can easily rent a shared flat. It's about growing up, being responsible for yourself, and, yes dare I say it, growing some balls.

Why do you care so much ? Obviously you do to post a thread about it.

Ever thought it's none of your business?

Yet again to clear the point of being subsidised by parents as mentioned before my parents are actually better off as I am still here.

As fort still being a child, I have made the adult decision about how I will be better off in the long term by staying here a little longer.

I will agree there may be adults who are still acting like children but not all of us are.

As for going getting a flat share, how will that help me? it will just cost me more and the way my life is currently run I am basically in a flat share with people I know very well... my parents.

Nope - I love having my own home, it's mine, and my priorities changed when i moved out. I'm totally happy to spend a weekend in with a bottle of wine and some good movies than go down the pub and spend £100/200 on a weekend like i used to. It's my home, i can have my friends round whenever i want - couldn't do that at my mums! Therefore, i have no need to go out so much anymore!

Probably because he's 50 years old and is yet to move out of his parents house

I'm not saying it doesn't happen. But how much does it cost in most towns to rent a room in a 2-bed flat or house with someone? Maybe £400 including bills? So if you're earning £16,000 or more you should be cool with that. Seems better than living in your son's garage.

How much does your imaginary friend earn for the purposes of this particular debate?

He currently brings home just over a grand a month, the job he has now is site labourer and the site he is on is due to be handed over before christmas so he will be out of work again.

He has got no chance of ever getting a deposit together for a home of his own because he is always in and out of work plus rents for a one bed place around here are around £400 then all bills on top plus running a van so he cant do that.

He has got his name down on the housing list but as he is a single working man he is last on the list. He was offered a temporary room in a hostel when he got divorced but decided against this and chose the garage instead.

The situation above is just the same as all the other peoples situation really, lots of people live with their parents because they dont earn enough to buy or rent, he lives in the garage at his sons.


Im presuming your imaginary friends earn a better wage than my imaginary friends do.

Well im 21 in the summer and looking at buying not long after. I dont go out near as much as alot of people my age, i think its overrated and theres too many sheep....im sure the amount of nights out i have will come down once i have my own place. Cant wait for the stress of a mortgage.
