time to move out of parents?

[Deleted User]

Wow, by 33 i'd moved into my own 'family home', not to mention had 2 kids of my own. If I had been living at my parents all this time I could probably buy a house outright with all the rent/mortgage I've paid in the 13 years I've been 'a proper grown up standing on my own 2 feet'

If you've got your own flat; go and move into it and let your parents be

Are you not concerned that as a parent, your offspring is not able to stand on his own two feet at the age of 37?

No - he can stand on his own two feet! We just happen to share this house with him.....He has his own investments and can afford a place on his own if he wants to - but as I said - it works for us, because we don't live in each others pockets and we actually get on well together.

In fairness a lot of Asian families find the British obsession about moving out when you get older a bit strange.

Extended families all live together and it's viewed as perfectly normal and actually makes a lot of sense financially.

I should hope that he has his own savings and investments given that he doesn't have a mortgage or rent to pay.

I have many Asian friends and even those who had arranged marriages stipulated that they would not be living with the in-laws or their own parents once married.

Other species don't mollycoddle their children for decades and many even actively push their children out of the family home when the time comes to become an adult.
