Just count your blessings - in Italy, the normal age for men to move out is 35 and even then it's more often than not within 1km of the family home (so mama can do the washing once a week - something I can bear testiment following my time in Italia
Me, I left home at 17.
My own flat, 40m², rooms 3.60 meters high, so you can build galleries and enlarge the living area. few, but nice neighbours great public access. nice view (first story), calm area for 150€ a month (~100quid) and my father said he'd support me with 100€ a month. (Of course I'd get the child support money too), but I'm short of cash and I don't see much disadvantages living at home.
The friends of mine who do live on their own, are half depressed and are trying to escape their alone-time as much as possible.
hmm, i dunno.
i know. It's a real occasion. It's even really good for austrian measures.
I am actually still thinking about it, maybe turn studying down one or two notches and start working, but I am unsure.
Like I said, all my mates who live on their own, try to escape their flats, and I have the feeling they virtually moan instead of being bright when it's driving-back-home time.
I do them myself
Living at home has many advantages and I am on good terms with my fam... with my whole fam, we attend pretty much every birthday and I have like 24 cousins.
I know I am doing zilch for living here, just cooking here and there, walking the dog and helping my dad occasionally with grunt work.
Moreover don't we pay rent, because we own that flat (large penthouse) and my oldies would get nothing out of my empty room.
I just like being somewhere where it's lively (because of other people) and not deadsilent...
disadvantage would be bringing home random chicks, but well... that hasn't happened yet
I have always had a really relaxed relationship with my parents though, so it works for us. They've always trusted me to do whatever I want, and I've never given them a reason not to. I do value my independence, but I get enough of it here, and I'm not about to bankrupt myself in search of more.
I went to University and came back in the holidays, then spent a short whilst at my parents before going to Sandhurst. But for several years after I had my bank address et al as my parent's house, would go back when on leave etc.
Even now my parent still have my room as bedroom and its still got some of my stuff there (some books, board games, old tennis racquet etc). I didn't move, so much as drift away...
It's not necessarily European, it's very very Spanish. I remember discussing this in Spanish lessons, and how it's different from at least Denmark.
ever heard of punctuation?
Lets proceed and talk about it when you are 18 then.
