Does my mum make a good point?

I don't think I am ready too move out....again though my parents have no right in the law too stop me from flying the next.

If they are paying the bills, that would give them some rights to call the shots -- they could refuse to pay. If you are making enough money to live on, and don't need their money, they would have no choice in the matter.

I suppose your mom believes you are not ready to live on your own yet. Perhaps she's right; perhaps not. I wasn't ready when I moved out; it wasn't pleasant.

Have you discussed with her what things you need to learn to become ready, and how you might learn them? She can't take care of you forever. Even if you do need a caretaker, eventually you will have to find your own arrangements for that; so finding your own help is an important part of moving out.

Your mom seems like she's scared you won't be safe on your own. Assure her that while you want to move out, you won't do so until you have the skills you need to make as good a try at it as anyone else.

Jamesy, it sounds like your mum has some "letting go issues". Her reasons were entirely flawed, suggesting that she was trying desperately to think of something to support her argument.

It may seem selfish of her, but she is only behaving in this way because she loves you.

Do you realise how rude and offensive you are being? Being able to spell everything perfectly is a helpful skill, but it is in no way a necessity for living an independent life.

Besides, you didn't capitalize your sentence - a basic grammatical rule - so you have no right to criticize anyone else.
