Moving Out

[Gizmo]

There are parents that don't want to let go. I know three others (in their 30's) and I swear my own husbands parents still think he'd be better off living with them full time and he's 41! I only have a small friends circle too!

Big update. I broke the news and told them over the weekend. It got a mixed response.

My dad was very supportive, but also devastated when he discovered I was taking the big TV with me (the main house TV belongs to me) My mother...well let's just say she didn't speak to me until today and communicated only through the medium of slamming doors. I had a very frank discussion with her and told her that I am 27 years old. I cannot see an opportunity in which I can move out on the horizon apart from this. If I don't take this, when will the next chance come along? When I'm in my thirties? I am not in a relationship, and after the year I had with relationships last year I don't plan on getting back in one for a good while, so it's not like I have a girlfriend I can move in with. She has finally come around to the idea.

My younger sister is delighted, as she has had her eye on my bedroom for years.

My older brother still thinks it's a bad idea. He is still visiting at the moment and I keep getting weird puppy dog eye looks like he is concerned for my mental health or something. But he's always been like that. He has never liked a single one of my friends as he seems to think that anyone who keeps his kid brother out beyond 10pm is a bad influence.

Also, I spent my first night in the house last night! CW and I had a Wrestlemania night with some other people from work. His mum has actually moved out now but she hasn't got all her stuff yet, so once that is gone I can move my stuff in.

Well done.

I feel for ya, CRML. I was going planning on moving in with my last bf when he got back from basic training (later this upcoming summer), but now that we broke up, I'm not sure what'll happen. I'm probably going to stay at my parents a little longer yet and see if I can save enough to get one of these brand new apartments by the tanning salon that I really really want. They are beyond the norm expensive but brand new.

Sounds good CRML

Especially that you are at least getting support from your dad!

Congrats man.

Quite an amusing update.

Word has got around the pub about us house-sharing...and that we have a spare bedroom. CW and I are keeping this bedroom spare, as we have a mutual friend who is also looking to move out of home. He just needs to get a little bit of money behind him before he does so. However we do have a sneaking suspicion that he will drop out at the last moment.

A co-worker went up to him and said she wanted the spare room for her and her boyfriend. She didn't ask. She told him. Let me describe her.

She is lazy, constantly calls in sick, whines about everything and is just generally unpleasant. There aren't many people at the pub that I can openly say I dislike, but she is one of them. Plus, when she learned that we were moving in, she scoffed and said "Huh! I guess it's true that people have no lives outside of this place! The staff are even living together!"

I have only met her boyfriend a couple of times, and he is horribly obnoxious. He has a massive ego and you literally can't say a sentence without him finding a way to put you down.

And the two of them together? It goes two ways. They are either sucking each other's faces, or fighting. And I'm talking objects and punches being thrown fighting.

Ideal candidates huh??

CW had to contain his laughter. He told me he'd sooner see us homeless than have them living with us.

Not much hubris there, eh? What was her response when her order was rejected?

Also, I guess she has no life outside the pub either ... ?

The only response we've had is that her and her boyfriend snubbed us when we went for a beer at the weekend haha.

In that regard...I couldn't move out quickly enough. Dad wanted my room for an office. Not surprising, since I 'evicted' him from that room 30 years prior

Yep, I moved out at age 30. Yeah, I know. The only reason I lived with my parents so long...was so I could save money towards a house. Since moving out in 2006, I think I made the right choice. I'm close enough, that if I need my parents, they're only 2 blocks away. But, they're far enough away...that I don't have to deal with family drama

So far, my parents haven't been bugging me about my hobbies...including the project car. Not that it's any of their business, of course.

I moved out gradually, going to uni in Winchester at 18 over term time and coming home to Newbury for the holidays. As soon as uni finished, I moved in to a house with friends in Eastleigh, even further away from Newbury. Still live in Eastleigh too, and have no intent to leave.

I know I'm lucky to have been able to move out so quickly, and I know my mum is proud of my independance now, even though it just seemed a natural progression to me and hadn't realised until she mentioned it.

Then the 'rents up and moved from Newbury to Epworth, 200 miles away!!

So on top of everything else you mentioned, he pouts ... I can't imagine how you and your friend could possibly not want such a gem sharing your house.

Well tomorrow night is my last night at the parents house. My room is practically cleared as I have been moving things in gradually. Also spent last weekend there. I'm actually feeling a teeny-tiny bit emotional at the moment. Not because of leaving the parents, sister or pets, but because I'm leaving my room. It's always been my room and as of Friday it won't be any longer. It's been my room for 20 years, even when I moved out for four and a half years for university.

The bidding war for our spare room continues. We're debating turning it into a games room just to get everyone to shut the fuck up. Although an extra person would be nice rent wise.

Hold movie nights and charge admission.
