    Why is having your child in your house means they don't have a life?

    I don't understand it at all, its as if you are saying parents hate their children and don't want to see them except from the odd visit once a month, I don't get it, wheres the love!?

    Loving someone does not mean having to be with them constantly, doing so would imply you have attachment issues. Do you not have a life of your own?

    I'm sure it is but then there are sad, friendless people who think the world owes them everything and the OP may be one of those.

    You are wrong, I've not spent on any personal wants and saved all my money, £260k up so I will be mortgage and bill free the rest of my life, any income from now on can be spent 100% on personal wants

    You don't think £260k of deposit saving is a personal want?

    Would you be a happier person if you were able to live an honest life rather than trolling on here?
    Do you tell your acquaintances that you get kicks this way?

    Let's be honest, you don't have £26.00 of deposit, you've just invented it. You should come to terms with the reality of your situation.
  • I need to believe that you're a troll and not a real person with the selfish attitude you have. If you are for real and I was your parents, I'd have kicked you out on your butt years ago. You sound like an overgrown spoiled brat.

    All things being considered the OP is either a sad and lonely troll who has nothing better to with his time or he is a sad and lonely miser who is too mean to do anything better with his time.

    Either way he is not an emotionally stable, well adjusted, young adult.

    The OP has a long way to go before he can call himself a man, he's just an immature, wet behind the ears, lost boy.

    It's interesting that despite having no-one agreeing with the stance he takes, he persists in believing he's right.

    I do hope he's a troll - it would be very sad for him and his parents if he is being truthful.

    Sorry, but that is no where near enough to be mortgage free and bill free for the rest of your life. It really really does cost more than £30 per month to run a house.

    Do parents want a child to leave home? No, not for any longer than the odd play outside or game of footie in the park. Do adults who have now got adult offspring kicking round the house for years want them to leave home? Well, yes. They can come for tea now and then, help with the washing up, leave a bottle of white chilling in the fridge, and then b*gger of back to their own house. You're not a child. You aren't entitled to the same expectations as a twelve year old. You know that, of course.

    So what you are saying that adults don't want to see their children after they turn into an adult? This is what I don't get, no love

    No, no-one has said that.
