Any "adult" (over 18) still live with parents???

I will be 18 in 1 month,5 days,9 hours,31 mins and 30 seconds

I'll let you know then

Thing is sometimes I don't enjoy it and I feel guilty about not reciprocating enough when they are trying to be nice (I'm pretty sure they can see through my little mask). In a lot of cases they will just stop trying to reach out. This did happen when I had to live two floors down from this little group. But now that we're all living in a triple things seem to be about right.

25? It sure sucks to be you.

Maybe it would if you were living my life. I'm doing fine, thanks.

Speaking seriously, I'd like to cheer up all 20-year-or-so-olds who still live with their parents. This fact says nothing about your chances for independence. Rarely anyone becomes completely independent at 18, and people who do so are often at a disadvantage in a modern society, as it is difficult for them to get higher education without support of their parents.

Yeah, I think for me its the fact that I'd like to be able to live the way I want to when I get out on my own. That means being though college, having a professional job, and having my loans paid. As it is I'm getting along with my parents fine, no one's intruding in anyone's business, and the people who've been really against me moving out this whole time have been them - they feel it would be assanine for me to take on $550 a month in apartment rent in addition to paying for school and just doing the same things I would here only for the sake of playing it 'age appropriate'. Being that most NT's I talk to never have any ill to say about it I really think that unless you know a lot of brats who's parents are buying em Mustangs to cruise arround in in addition to paying $800 a month for a poshed-out apartment for em, most NTs are really changing their attitude about it all.

I'm in college and live at home too and constantly feel so ashamed/anxious about it because I know I'm not branching out like everyone else. I'm worried I'm becoming too dependent on my mom and not taking the necessary steps to mature and grow. It's just that because of how things have been going and how bad I've been doing, there was no other way I could've made it this far if I didn't live at home. I plan to move out this year but am terrified.

I moved out of my parents home when I was nearly 20.

wow ancient thread

My family is so weird that I live alone right now in my parents house and my dad lives with his mom at age 66. My mom used to live with her mom until she passed away in 08'. So basically I benefit from my parent's unwillingness to ever leave home. I am the "normal" one in my family.

i am still living with my folks

I still live with my folks because I've lived at this adress since I was 1 sooooo I'm not going anywhere.

That being said, I have lived in townhouse dorms at the university and was lucky enough to a) get a room to myself (besides sharing the house with 3 others) and b) getting to go home on weekends.

The room mates were sometimes questionable, but I got reeaaallyyy lucky and one of my room mates in year 3 was autistic as well and we got along very well. (we scared out our other room mate though (not even kidding, she left and we never saw her again))

I'm 20 and still live with my parents. I moved out to leech at my brother's house (with my parents sending me checks) for a year when I was 19 and was going to go to a nearby university, but that didn't work out and now I'm back at my parents' house. They really annoy me now that I've experienced pseudo-independence though.

I am 27 and still living with parents.

19, just finished school, not going anywhere, hate society too much to be a part of it.

I moved out of home at the age of 26 with my sister ( who also has AS ) she was 20. Mum and Dad have taught both my sister and I to live independantly on our own they do help both of us with some things but we both have learnt to live on own. Mum is concerned though when she passes on whether both of us will be capable to cope on our own with no help at all it really upsets my Mum and she starts crying everytime she speaks about it. She feels that both my sister and I will end up on the street with no where to go, no help, no support, no care. We have to learn to live independantly on our own or learn life skills such as learning how to cook to learning how to manage your money to doing a budget and learning how to pay bills such as electricity to learning how to do your own washing and cleaning your own unit to transport training learning how to catch a bus or train learning how to use a timetable and watch train and bus to catch and where.

Im still learning to live in a NT set of units which has its challanges. I live in private rent not housing commission and I have learnt to budget due to the fact I pay alot of rent. It can be very confusing and some things are hard to process and can be frustrating to understand at times but it can be rewarding.

Lived with my parents until age 23, moved in with fiancee after things broke down, living with him and his mother now.
He's 26, although he has lived independantly before, its not so unusual for people to live with parents into their late 20's these days.
