    Also, why on earth should they have to close the door, it's their own house?! They can screw on the sofa if they want.

    If you are going to stay there any longer you need to start going out (on your own if you have no one to go out with) and staying out overnight - use the money you have saved on rent on a hotel, give your poor mother some privacy.

    Better still, stop moaning and get down to the estate agents in the morning.

    Best to close the curtains first. Especially if there's a bus stop outside your house and the bus is late. :p

    I notice the OP hasn't replied since mid afternoon. Maybe he's out buying flowers or a takeaway, maybe he's tidying up his stock before making a plea to be allowed to stay in this evening's meeting.;)
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    Or maybe he's in a sulk.

    EDIT: Okay, that was harsh...but probably true :(

    It can affect the house insurance too with all that stock in situ.

    You don't actually think op would think of this do you?

    It's all about them, their house, their savings, their studies, their business.

    Hell if her mothers happiness is up for trashing as well as the relationship. Op won't actually care if her mother gets screwed over by the taxman.

    The parents will be doing OP a huge favour by making sure he leaves.

    Otherwise it will go on and on. There never will be a good time to go.

    Maybe OP, if you ask to store your goods in a bedroom or the garage, and move out, that's a fair compromise. You have business storage, they can have a ball without you there.

    I see you have no friends. Maybe you have issues aswell?

    The best thing I ever did in my entire life was to move out of the family home when I started University. That was donkeys years ago, when kids stayed at home for years, until they got married.

    I am part of a loving family, but moving out taught me such a lot at a young age. Sharing, paying bills, budgeting, cooking, cleaning, washing and so on.

    It is so liberating! Do it OP, you will not regret it. It is such a wonderful adventure into real adulthood and independence.

    Maybe the internet has been cut off because of lack of funds to pay the bills.

    Due to ungrateful child refusing to contribute towards a household that they suck the harmony, money and sex out of...... :p
    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    No, his hacked off Mummy has cut off his internet. He'll be back on Monday when he susses out FREE access from his local Library I suspect. After all his Mummy pays for Council services for him?
