Action figures cost too much.

At 21, it doesn't matter what mom and dad want.  You are your own person and if you want to spend the night some where else it is none of their business.

My father is 84 and my mother is 61.  What's the problem?  It was never a problem with my parents even though every one around them disagreed.  If you love the person the age difference shouldn't matter.  It didn't to my parents and they have five children.  Tell everyone else to mind their own business and you do what you think is best for you and your partner and not everyone else.

Don't worry about your parents...They will come around no matter what decisions you make.  I lived with my wife before we got married and we are doing great 4 years later and have a beautiful little 1 yr old girl...It helped living together before we got married, because when you live together, you see the real side of married life and what your partner is going to be like to live with.  Sometimes people change after you start living with them, but you will definitely know if he is the right one after this.  Good luck!

well this is really vague... im 22 and my parents are in a divorce and my mom may have nowhere to turn. I want to be a good son and she doesnt want to burden my life.. but after all she took care of me for 18years.. I be damned to let dad manipulate her anymore...\n\nI live in MY house and I have a good job. why should i care what people think about my mom living with me untill she can spring back from her divorce.\n\nI would say it really depends on the situation. Some people just dont have their act together and some do. Find out the real reason and who is living with who.\n\nOn a side note I feel that each situation is different, but once you reach early to mid 20's you need to be more self reliant.\n\nugh nothings more annoying than some guy who lives in his Moms house and jerks around all day at 25+ get a job a life and start being responsible.

Because they want to protect you, and because they want the "best" for you. \n\nYou have to show you family that you can be responsible, sensible, take care of yourself, and be independent. Don't fight with them, as in most cases that'll lead to larger problems. Demonstrate to them that you're a smart, responsible, and mature person and assert that you are capable of making your own decisions in your own life.\n\nI also understand, that some families are very strict and/or very traditional in their heirarchies, however that doesn't leave you powerless to do anything. It may strain your relations with your family sometimes, but if you're adult about it you'll be fine.

It's a balancing act, for sure. Most people want to please their parents to some degree, even in adulthood.  You can go way overboard with that, though. \n\nLiving at home until you get married is one thing, but I would never want to live with my spouse's parents.  You guys need to get out on your own.  \n\nI know what it feels like to not want to ruffle my parents' feathers.  I've made some decisions in my relationships because of it, but I've also found times where I've just had to stand up for myself.  Family is important to your fiance, but you should be important to him as well.  It all comes down to what you can put up with, and how much you really love him.  I wouldn't discard him just because he wants to please his parents, but I would expect for him to stand up for himself from time to time.\n\nYou'll just have to weigh it out.

It really isn't very healthy. You need to take care of yourself totally: pay rent and other household bills, take care of your own laundry and cooking and entertain socially. It is crippling to have others do these things for you. Also, it is difficult to have any kind of a sex life if you are living with your parents. As it stands now, they are enabling you to be a child forever. It's way past time to be on your own. The only exception would be if your parents were dependant on you because of their physical or mental condition. Even then, you should live nearby but not under the same roof.

They need to learn how to live on their own without the help of a parent or guardian. When they turn 18, what do they do? Do they know how to take out the laundry, cook, add gas to the car, ect.? They're going to have to know someday, so why not now? Besides being educated on square roots and zoology and proper paragraph form, kids should learn how to perform tasks that normally only their parents do for them. Eventually kids should be able to take care of their parents when they retire, not the other way around.

It's usually a mixture of both excitement for themselves and terror for their children. Many parents go through what is called "empty nest syndrome", which is uneasiness now that there are no diapers to change or soccer games to remember to attend. Depending on how troublesome the kids were to their parents, or how close their relationship...parents feel depression, worry, but relief that 18 years of raising kids is over with. Why don't you ask your parents if you don't believe me.

Because they are parents...and they only want best for you....

Because parents today do not want to actually spend any time with their children.  They think that celebrities should raise their children for them, park them in front of the TV, and think that they have done their parenting for the day.

I would love to sterilise these scumbags. I know a woman on the estate near to where I work who is a grandmother-at the age of 42. None of her children work and the next generation of theiving scroungers comes along regular as clockwork when these kids hit sixteen!! i.e they all get pregnant for their free council house at sixteen. All scum and all a drain, burden and disgrace to the rest of us. I think the best way for them to keep their pants on is to stop all benefits to them and their scummy kids.

Because they deep down inside they still believe that once they hit the age where they can no longer bare children they are worthless, unattractive and unneeded.  Also, it's a basic female belief that old = ugly.  Unfortunately, this is something that they've done to themselves.  Just pick up any Cosmo or Glamor and flip to any page.  That is what they believe that they have to live up to until the day that they die.

my parents are divorced, and have been since i was 4 years old. i've had a great childhood and i thinnk that everyhting worked out for the better. not only were my parents happy, i lived in an environment without fighting/ marital problems. my parents have joint custody, so i've lived with my mom but can visit my dad on weekends or as i please (when he isn't working). in addition to my parents and siblings being happier, my parents have both remarried, which i think has ben a great experience and i greatly love both of my step-families.
