Single and living at home...

Well, some people get jobs and leave home right after college/high school while others live at home for a few years if not more. I would imagine that being a single erson who lives with their paretns would have it's own impact on relationship, and so I ask what some of those things might be.
 
I would say that privacy can be an issue. Not in the sense of having somewhere to go to be alone, but more in the way of keeping your business to yourself. I moved back home to my parents house after a divorce, and having been independent for several years I found it frustrating to have to explain where I was going, what I was doing, and asking for financial help was hard. There comes a time when you want to be independent, but sometimes circumstances can interfere.
 
I think only the guy who leave at home right after high school or college. The girl is sensitive when it comes to relationship with guy. Mostly single young women live with their parents even they finished their studies or college and have a work they're still. But it depends of women to leave their parents alone, its because is far from school / office. They force to leave at home and rent a house near at school or office. I think women force to leave at home not because of intimate relationship, its because of career or to finish studies and have a limitations. Men too, but focus on career and love.

Single will enjoy too much with their parents at home. Parents want for children to finish the studies, your parents will proud of you to. Single living with parents and dating someone does have no privacy? Single and Independent women is so hard even asking for financial help. There should be an impact of relationship between your and your relationship.

:yes I hear you.
I had lived away from my parents for years...and I ended up having to move back with them recently due to circumstances.

Now I have to deal with questions like..."Where are you going? What are you doing? Who are you talking to?" etc etc lol. Argh. :crazy
 
Ha ha, I know exactly what you mean! But hopefully for you it won't last long. And it can actually be fun, at least it was for me. When I moved back in with my parents I came home as an adult, which meant that our relationship was better. We can all talk honestly about things and they treat me differently than when I was a child. Make the most of it, cause it won't last forever :)
 
You're lucky they treat you as an adult caromurp ;)

I'm 21...a senior in college...drove since I was 16, taken care of myself for 3.5 years of college...and yet they still don't trust me to take care of myself or drive to school :P I get lectured on taking care of myself and I get followed when driving. And they have to know everything. They only know the smallest smidgen of my online activity, though. They'd grill me about it. But the only privacy exists is that in my computer that my parents can't look over my shoulder and see while I'm home :P And oh dear, if I got into a relationship...I'd be grilled about it. And lately, with recent changes...they don't know about them either because I'd get grilled about them. They wouldn't like. Such is life, I suppose.

But yeah...I can't get into a relationship until I go to graduate school. Too little privacy. Too many personality clashes.
 
Ouch, that sounds rough Carbon :gah

I guess my parents treat me that way because I'm 26 and had lived on my own in another city for 4 years before I came home.

Are your parents atheists/agnostic? Do you have anyone close to you who you can talk to about your new life?

Short answers? Yes...and no. One person non-close to me (in location, but knows me well) is a maybe.

I lived with my dad during my college years and for 1 year after. Living with him for that extra year made a big difference. I paid off all my debt plus had over $10,000 saved to buy a condominium.

I highly recommend it. The worst thing a person can do is graduate from college with a lot of debt and run right out and start spending even more on houses, cars, an so forth.
