[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 698366, member: 1963"] I just don't get this. Granted, i was just starting my career in what was then called "data processing", but I moved out of the house and in with husband-to-be shortly before I turned 18. My father died the year after my marriage. I lived with my mother for 4 mos in late 82 while husband did his military training. It was a nightmare. I was a good tenant and she was a good hostess, but it was terribly uncomfortable and I couldn't wait to GTFO of there. The next time I shared quarter with my mother i was in my 40s and had just had a nasty surgery to correct a bowel obstruction, got peritonitis and then a "hospital bug" intestinal infection. Once I finally got turfed out of the hospital, my mother insisted on staying for 6 weeks to take care of me. Argh...not only were we stuck with each other, she couldn't drive my truck because it was a manual, and I was too damned weak and sick to to stick up to her. She basically took over (and rearranged) the place. I have absolutely NO desire to move back home. My sister lived with my mother until she was in her mid 20s,her and her husband, but she was pregnant with twins that they later lost. She and my mother also get along with each other better my mother and I do. But my sister and her husband moved out as soon as they were able as well. I know with the millenials, there's a huge problem with rental costs skyrocketing while at the same time real wages are dropping. They can't afford to rent, unless they go in with roommates, which often leads to a lot of other hassles. But, in the case of a 30 year old, there is no excuse short of physical or mental disability for him to not be working and living on his own, even if he has to get a roommate. I'm scraping by in a decent apartment in a decent complex. The apartment is very small, which is fine by me, but to go nicer, I'd have to do the roommate thing, and the only other adult I've lived with as an adult was my husband. I get creeped out by the thought of sharing my space with someone else, or depending on someone else to pay half the bills. [/QUOTE]
