| How old is too old to still be living with your parents? Would you date someone that still did?
Posted: 12/16/2006 8:47:35 PM | I am 30 and I live with my mom. My mom & I are dependent on each other; we help each other out. I've been trying to find a job, save up, and move out. Right now, I am getting help to find one. I am positively sure I will have one next year.
Yes I would date someone who still lives with their parent(s) only if they have plans on moving out and I have dated people who didn't mind me living with my mom. | |

Posted: 12/16/2006 9:06:23 PM | I am in the same situation as some,but I met someone on here who moved back in their parents to back to college to live their dream. I see nothing wrong with that because I tried to get divorced once,I thought it was done but some unfortunate mishap with som epaperwork I am moved back in with Mom and I am doing ok,but I was cleaned out from it all. I will find my own happiness someday and right now I am talking with someone here I really like and I think she is really sweet. I hope I get to met her someday after the holidays so we can get started on the right foot. Answer is yes .        | |

Posted: 12/17/2006 1:43:16 PM | | I'm 28 and am back at home with my parents. I bought a house with my ex a couple of years ago but we split up and i couldn't afford a place on my own so went back to my mum and dad's. Its not ideal but at the moment i can't afford to move out (after leaving my ex i was left with pretty much nothing!). I am independent, pay my own way etc, have a full time job, working over 40 hours a week and believe me, i'd give anything to have my own place but it just isn't going to happen at the moment. I've dated guys since who have their own place and they've never been phased by the fact i live at home. I think it bothers me more than them. Yeah, its hard bringing people back and after all i have to respect my mum and dads rules but for the time being it seems to be working, but i know i'm not gonna be here for the rest of my life. Although, as hypocritical as it sounds i think i'd be a little put off if someone was over the age of, say 35, and still lived at home, unless it was really exceptional circumstances. I think, as long as you're paying your own way, have a job, a life etc then living with your parents isn't that bad. As long as one of your future ambitions is to move out and get your own place!! | |

Posted: 12/17/2006 2:21:21 PM | | hi how are you? so u are sying you woundn't date anyone still living at home, well heres my point i hate being alone, so my family is here plus i have health problems but on the other hand i own my parents house, and can purchase another for cash, allowing them to keep this one, thats the result of holding 2 full-time jobs see women only judge u and assume, but don't investigate the roots of a person, i've been out on a date she asked me if i still lived at home, when i responded yes, her features changed, in other words she was expecting to come to my place. when she learned the truth, it was too late | |

Posted: 12/17/2006 2:35:46 PM | Depends on the culture too. I know many guys who live at home till they get married regardless of how old that is. Or whether a guy is a single dad who has an arrangement where his mom to look after his kid(s) while he looks after some of the parents' needs. It isn't uncommon in Italian, Portuguese, Spanish families at all.
My 'adopted' (for lack of a better word) grandparents used to be this way when I was growing up too and the household members were Irish, Scottish, and American. Few look after their own anymore and although it's a situation that poses unique family stressors it was also one where blood -- or as good as blood -- meant far more than it does in today's transient society.
I commend the single 'European' guys I know -- especially the single dads who tried marriage for sticking it out when others wouldn't. | |

Posted: 12/17/2006 2:41:24 PM | Depends on the circumstances to me.
Unless there was a DAMN good reason..ie, your house burned down, you had to move from another state/country and you've only been there for a couple weeks and plan to get out.....those are the only circumstances that would be alright. I'm sure there are a few more instances too. But it couldn't just because he wanted to save money. I'm sorry. Get out and be broke like the rest of us. | |

| whatever
Posted: 12/17/2006 2:48:18 PM | | I think the situation varies on rather it is ok to still live at home or not. I still live with my mom and my oldest sister becuase they are both disabled. I have been married and divorced and have even lived on my own many times. So its not that I cant its just that I cant just run off on my family when they need me. I think if a guy cant except that then you shouldnt be dating them anyway and the same goes with girls. You should go only on how you feel about the situation and if you think its time to move out then do so. Just be happy in whatever choice you make. Good Luck. | |

Posted: 1/1/2007 5:36:51 PM | I get a kick out of some of these "independent" people.
If you are on welfare, you might as well be living with your parents. If you are on HUD, you might as well be living at home as far as I'm concerned. If you get *any* assistance whatsoever, you might as well be living at home and have no business "out on your own" as far as I'm concerned.
Moreover, I know several people in their 30's who make a lot of money, e.g., 45 or 50 grand a year, and STILL *have* to get money from someone, ususally a parent, to pay their bills. They might as well be living at home. They are NOT independent.
If you only make 7 or 8 dollars an hour (and I'm not knocking you for that here), you are NOT making enough money to be living on your own in a house, apartment, etc., *without* some form of assistance. Don't tell me otherwise, you only need to do the math. Most places are at least 300 bucks a month now, many far, far more expensive. Add in the utilities, insurance (if you don't have any, you are not really on the up and up), car payment(s), groceries, phone, cell phones, internet, cable, clothes, kids stuff ( most folks have kids now), gas, etc., etc., and you are *not* making enough money and thus need some kind of assistance and cannot claim you are "on your own." Sorry, but that is a fact.
Bottom line here and my point: roughly 3/4 of the people have no business talking about someone "living at home" because you are NOT really carrying your weight. Instead of the people who are living *just* off of mom and dad, YOU, because you are living in another place are not only living off of (probably) mom and/or dad but also off of ME because of one or another form of WELFARE taken each and every goddamned week out of my check you *must* receive in order to pay your damned bills because you do not generate enough income to live on your own.
If you are in this situation and need more money than you make each month, I don't care if it is only 10 dollars, get the F*ck back home to mom and dad and shut your mouth! | |

ahhhh gotta love the "proud & independant" ...apparently they're "green" as well....
...isn't it a little ironic...people who want someone with their own place...state that because they want financial responsibility in their partner....
...when these people move out at an early age and throw all their money away on rent...hey...if he's staying at home to save for a down payment on a house...you really should be all over him....cause in a year or so...you could move in with him...pay WAY less rent and be better off yourself....
...oh and don't worry...you still got an appartment to go back to when you wanna f*ck
...the poster above me has it right...well said buddy.... | |

Posted: 1/1/2007 6:07:28 PM | Hmmm, I dunno. I think most of the replies to this are pretty immature.
I am 21 yrs old, just turned 21 in nov. I live with my mom, older brother and another person rents out our basement. BUT, I have also worked very hard since I was able to and taken care of my family. My mother got very sick a couple of years ago and can barely even walk now. I had to quit my job for a year just to stay home with her, I helped her do everything and I am NOW the sole supporter of the house. The guy in the basement pays rent, my brother is disabled, therefore on social security, which everyone knows pays NOTHING. So yes, I still live at home and to tell the truth, I would feel really guilty if I moved out and just left them, without anything.
There are many different ways of looking at things. I think most of your replies are immature because there are always reasons of why people choose to live the way they do. Just living at home because you get a free ride, GROW up! Wow, thats pathetic and mean. But you know, thats just MY opinion. Everybody should do whats RIGHT and comfortable for EVERYONE. Not just yourself. | |

Posted: 1/1/2007 7:01:48 PM | | 100% depends on the situation.. I live with my mom and her fiance, but we just purchased a house in which i have the lower 1/2 and they have the upper 1/2, the only thing that is shared is the kitchen. so in most ways I live on my own, but technically I live in the same house as family.. I think there is no reason for parents to pay 100% for a person once they reach 20 or 21, unless in school.. if you are 20 or 21 and living off your parents i think you are taking away from what they could be doing.. travelling, whatever they enjoy doing.. | |

Posted: 1/2/2007 5:32:18 AM | "If you're still living with your parents at the age of 20, you've got serious issues. If you're still living with them past 26, you're unrecoverably ****ed up and should just climb in the coffin with them when they pass on. Get a life of your own, for ****s sake. Utterly pathetic."
What is with you people who insist on being such rude, obnoxious wild animals? Are you seriously THAT disconnected from humanity that you've lost the ability to be mature and rational? Jesus!!
I'm 32, and I just let my Father move into my home. 3 years ago, my Mom died, and he has been having a really hard time being alone ever since. Does this make me "****ed up" and should I be "climbing into the coffin with him" ???
People like you make me sick. YOU are utterly pathetic. | |

There's no set age. I'm 20, and I just couldn't live there anymore. It also causes some issues when relationships progress past a certain stage.
Really? What kind of issues? If you mean, I can't bonk my old lady in a house that I am sharing with my parents, then maybe a person is not that inventive. If you mean, I can't stay out all night because I live with my parents, I can and I can either choose to answer my mom if she questions my activities or I can tell her the truth, in either case, it has nothing to do with the relationship's progress. Now on the other hand, if the person I am seeing all of a sudden starts thinking we are suppose to move in together 1) Its not happening, I don't shack up and she will know that from the start. And 2) Those who are, does she/he have there own apartment that the two of you can move into?
And great last line CrystallineSunshine. | |

Posted: 1/2/2007 6:35:34 AM | depends if they got out of school, are they back in the country or are they of a culture that they live at home till married...
That being said, most of the reasons for being at home (outside of taking care of someone who is sick) is good enough reason for me not to date them...
personsally if they have never lived away from home... they are too younge for me! | |

Posted: 1/2/2007 7:02:40 AM | Hey! While we are at it! While we are bashing those who live at home. How about we bash, belittle, ostracize, and humiliate those sluts (male and female) who can't wait until their married. And lets talk about those blacks, they are the reason for a lot of problems in this country. You blondes why even bother getting a higher education? Your stupid any way! Women, you are too emotional and dependant to make it on your own, why deceive yourselves into thinking your independant? Men, lets be honest with the ladies for once, if God did not give them breasts and vaginas, we would not bother with them.
Now tell me how does that sound? How does that make you feel? Should a person find you worth for your affections if they fit on or more of these but small fractions of social dehumaniztion? These ugly, nasty, hatred filth that are apparently not true of all the popluace? How dare anyone of you or us think so little of anyone when guess what, someone is think so little of you? Each and one of us is hated and are considered unworth for affection by someone else for the worst possible reason. You don't believe so, did was not Saddam just hung? Are we not fighting (while yeah laughable at this point) a war to prevent the hatred of someone else affecting the God given free right of a fulfilled existance? How dare we or anyone put down a group of people just because we may not want to particularly date them?
Having preferences (as shallow as they are that so many of you have proven) is one thing. But being prejudice against them is another. And ladies and gentlemen who are fit this bill, that is what you are. I am not here to change your thought on if I am worth of your affections or not, and I particularly don't care. But, one thing I won't tolerate is being treated or considered any less human or mature or capable than I am because of where I live and what I am doing with my life. This might get me band or deleted or blackmarked, but it had to be said plain and in the open | |

Posted: 1/2/2007 8:04:21 AM | There are some people who were their accomplishments on their chest like a badge of honor. Oh I was able to accomplish this and I was able to accomplish that. I got myself through this and I got myself through that. When I was this age I did this.
You know what? someone has done WAY better than you, Donald Trump, the President, our favorite popstars, actors and actresses, Novel Peace Prize winners. So, to have put yourself while college while holding down two jobs and paying your own bills, kudos on you on that, but you are still a nobody compared to some of these more well known people who drung themselves from even lower than you and have exceed you. Take this new movie Will Smith did, which is based on a true story, my cousin talks with the man. Imagine what his ex-wife must be thinking now that he is a self-made millionaire after she mistreated him and dumped him with the child? You think she is kicking herself now. Yep, she is. Do you think some man who use to tease and mistreat Pamula Anderson isn't going, what a damn fool I was? He is.
More times than not. The ones we thought so little of and treated so poorly, they will excel us. They will have what we want. And we will be in the same place where we are. And you know what, that is call Universal Justice. So be careful who you step on today, those of you who think your accomplishments and living on your own means something, many of us living at home now, are going to be of this site and living with those who love us no matter what, and you will still be hear sing the same old song. | |

Posted: 1/2/2007 11:03:23 AM | | There are some people who live with their parents due to parents aging and health probs . Sometimes one parent has been widowed and /or has become ill. It`s a society where the population is aging and retirement homes aren`t always an option. I have met a few who are in this situation. I don`t believe it is as clear cut as " not able to afford to live alone" It`s just sometimes a situation because the parent ( s) have no other options of homecare. | |

Oh... Dark-n-Romantic... you took the words RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH!!!!!!!!!! I am so tired, tired, tired of how unfairly judgmental some people on here can be. I mean, it's one thing to state an opinion, and it's another thing to just be a rude, obnoxious troll (although one person here tells me that for me, a troll is just someone who doesn't "agree" with my opinion, which is nonsense... a troll is someone who just spouts off ignorance and negativity... for the sake of being a perpetrator of hate and discontent. A mature person will give you their opinion, and be MATURE with their words, a troll... just cusses, and is prejudice and rude, amongst many other things). I wish people would just realize that the person you are trying to "find" ... is NOT going to be perfect. We all have things going on that are not exactly what we want to have going on. And that's just how life is. But to dehumanize someone over such things... is WRONG.

Posted: 1/2/2007 6:54:01 PM | Today it seems that people are living with their families later in life.
Cost of living in Toronto is pretty high, and being at home often has it's perks... just as having a hot meal when you come home and waking up to the company of your family instead if some house mates that you really don't know much about.
That being said, I live on my own and since re-entering the dating world a year ago, I have never dated anyone who still lives with the parents. I guess I would need to try it before I knock it!! | |

Posted: 1/2/2007 7:05:16 PM | theres always something not quite right about people,who stay at home with their parents, over the age of 30yrs, not people who return after a failed marriage, to get back on their feet,but definately not the full shilling, who never venture out into this big beautiful world lol.
patricia694972: Have you ever seen the waterfalls of Okinawa, Japan? Took time out to travel to the Outback of Australia? Seen the crystal blue beaches of Thailand? The black scorpions play around the fire at night in the Arabian desert? How about a meteor shower on a clear Californian night? Oh, there was also the time recently went I went up to the roof of my apartment building to enjoy a fiery red dawn before I went to college to explore the universe within a computer. I go to museums, enjoy various types of coffees at cafes, not really a club goer, I love treating myself to lunch every second week I get paid to one of the hundreds of dinners and bistros around NYC, and I love to travel to the parks to take pictures. Do you have photos and/or poetry that has been published and awarded? All these things I mention, I have done. Wow, I am really haven't ventured out into this big beautiful world. Now I ask, where have you been, done, and seen? "lol"
patricia694972: I hold the door open for ladies. If the elderly need my help I give it. I try to attend church on a regular basis. I believe that everyone who is capable should be working. I don't pull out my hair. I do have a slight case of social anxiety, but of course that came from how terrible I by people who enjoyed victimizing those who were smaller then them. I have passed every last psyche evalve ever given me. I do believe everyone has a little craziness and oddities about themselves, but that is what makes us unique. And since normal and right is a relative word.
patricia694972: Since we are talking about people we don't find quite right. I find people who are afraid to put up their pictures not quite right either. To me it seems like they have something to hide, I mean I can understand if you are horribly deformed and don't wish to disclose, that is understandable, but I don't think they have a "full shilling" either.lol | |
