After 24 years living with 'Mummy and Daddy' (excluding a couple of years at Uni) I'm finally leaving for good this weekend and I can't blummin wait! It's been quite a big build up and I'll be living with my girlfriend so hopefully it'll turn out good and touch wood there won't be any major problems.

Any essential survival tips?


Edit: Was meant to post this in NSR, mods please move...

I never went back home for more than a few weeks after leaving for uni in 2002.

The most important thing is keeping healthy and managing your finances.

Bloody hell, I left home at 18yrs old as soon as I finished college and got a proper job, I actually had great parents as well but just wanted my own space, don't know how folks can stay with parents for so long, my lad will be out on his ear as soon as he finishes his education, teaches you to stand on your own 2 feet IMO.

P.S, I am sure your parents can't wait either, they've gone way above and beyond the call of duty.

Right'o, way to get yourself firmly under the thumb

Sometimes they need telling for their own good, like my missus who was adamant one of the safest places to be in a thunder storm was outside in the hot tub

I left home at 16 but it's always good to go back now and then. But having your own gaff is great, not so great living with the misses though.

Try to avoid having children, they are expensive and annoying.

Enjoy. Having your own space is a great thing.

Wish my brother had the same get up and go, 40 years old and still at home with Mum. He's even bought his own place over a year ago but won't move in until he's finished decorating. Must be running out of jobs to do now He even had a taste of freedom whilst at Uni for a few years but still came back

For me, after University I think I would have found it pretty hard to live at my parents again. My initial thoughts were to get a job near to home so I could live with them for a while and save up but luckily I couldn't find work locally so ended up on the other side of the country from them. Moved out for good at 22 years of age.

Good on you, LSh. Enjoy it.

From my perspective as a mother parent, it is a sad day when your child moves out. The son moved out at 17. I kept his room intact as it was; for four years after he had left. I hoped for him to come back one day; until the daddy gave me a reality check that the son has factually moved out for good. The daughter gave me a reality check in a family conversation in India when she said that she had virtually moved out at 17 as well, and lived with her BF and in the Uni since then. I hardly saw her since then, but have been living in denial. She's now 22. I await for the bombshell on me after she comes back from her travels that she's fully moving out, and I am prepared. Will still be very sad for me, but I'll be very happy for her.


In fact, I did same to my parents, and I know that I needn't feel sad for that sort of thing. However, when you're in your mid-late 40's, you look back and feel that now you'd pay anything to re-live that time when you lived safe and sound with your parents and siblings under the same roof. But things move on. You then live with remembering those pleasant times as your memory has it engraved on it- in its own nostalgic tongue.

Cats are very useful at times like that. They keep the house warm with their infantile innocence, affection and energy.

Was sent to boarding school in England at 8 so never really lived at home since then, so leaving was easy once school finished & especially as not much work going in Ireland at the time (& now)

Make sure you lay the foundations early on that she has to do all the washing, ironing, dishes ect otherwise you will be like me. Get home Friday after work keen for a few beers only to find all my clothes are still in the wash basket.
