Dude good luck, we all went through it!

[daslex]

Good luck buddy, just expect the " I told you so" if god forbid you do have a prang on it one day.

Maybe next time you could go this route. Take off early one morning and leave a note on the kitchen table:



Dear Mom & Dad,

I have some news that I just thought would be good for you two to hear straight from me instead of getting blind-sided later on.
I'm 23 now and I know you two have liked me living at home, but there comes a time when I need to stand on my own two feet and make some decisions about my own life.

I've decided to move out. You know the girl I've been seeing? Well, we've decided to get married. It's amazing! She really passionate, gentle, understands me, and a man's needs more than any woman I've ever met. That's probably because she really is a man. Well, sort of. You see, "Tracy" had one of those sex change operations and guess what? He's She's pregnant! I know you guys weren't looking forward to grandkids for a while but I'm sure you'll be great! We're going to be squatting in a couple of foreclosed homes we've been keeping an eye on (found the lockboxs for the keys) and want to have more kids when we can save up money for a house of our own.

Tracy has shown me that marijuana doesn’t hurt anyone and we’ll be growing it for us and his her friends, who are providing us with all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. If we go into Meth we should be able to get that new house in no time. In the meantime, we’ll pray for the science to find the AIDS cure, 'cause Tracy would sure appreciate it. Lord knows, he she deserves some good news about this. And if it's not too much trouble, could you kinda mention that we've moved to Montana should the FBI show up at the door in the next couple days? It may not happen, I think we covered our tracks pretty good, but you never know.

Take care,
Your son

PS: Mom and Dad, this is all BS. Not at all true. I’m over at Marty’s house. I just wanted to show you that there are worst things in life than my new motorcycle in the garage.

[phroziac]

oh god, LOL. Anyhow, they calmed down before i left. They were just ****ed that i didnt tell them. Even then, i dont see why. But oh well.

[Nero]

Dude, don't take this the wrong way, but am I correct? You're 23?

[phroziac]

Dude, don't take this the wrong way, but am I correct? You're 23?

Yeah....

[JHONNY_ICE_420]

I'm w/ nero. HEY MOM!, DAD! LOOK WHAT I JUST GOT! AINT IT SWEET?
yes, mom, I know it says 160 on the speedo, but I don't know if it goes that fast. I couldn't get it over 145 on the way home.

[whitecl0ver]

Good luck. I did the same thing to my wife. She never said a word but refuses to give me money when I need something for the bike. I just save my pennies.

WoW I'd divorce a chic quick on that note!

oh hell no, i can afford my own place to live, i just choose not to. Been thinking about moving out again, but the problem is maintenance. I really dont want to come home and have to mow my lawn, etc etc.....

So what I just read this is blah blah blah i'm lazy and entitled, and would rather live off my parents. Wow......kids today amaze me....

[Free Coffee]

Hrm...I moved out the moment I turned 18. LOved my parents, but didn't like the thumbs on me. I read somewhere that it's an American trend though- kids staying with their parents until they're in their mid/late twenties. It's fine and all, I've just never met someone living with their parents who had progressed beyond being a child yet. But ****, it's usually free (of charge).

I'm not sure why I let this woman move in yet...

>=o)

Probably a little miffed you felt the need to hide it from them instead of being upfront about it.

The "versus" mentality is telling.

[GytRDunKat]

Ick. I graduated on a Sunday and moved out on Monday. My mom promptly rented my room out.

Anyways, my wife found my bike, told me to buy it, and promptly took extended life insurance out on me. Maybe she was trying to tell me something. Hmmm. Meh, 4 years later, and she hasn't kicked me out yet, or cut my brake lines.

Tom's idea is the best, I'm going to leave that note when I go for a new bike

Wow, I love haters. I have no need to justify myself to you, however. I am 100% independant, have the ability to move at a moments notice if i desire, and the reason I live with my parents (and we're talking about my mom and stepdad here, my dad is no longer a part of my life due to him being a d-bag), is because...I am an over the road truck driver. I am home 1 day a week. Why should i spend $1000 a month on a place to live, that i will see once a week? What's the damn point? I also am trying to get a local job, and as soon as i get one...I'm out!

Honestly, I kind of yo-yoed. I moved out when I was 20. Moved back in with my "dad" when the idiots i worked for were screwing me and i couldn't afford my place anymore. Quit the job because i was making just enough to eat. Could not find another job for a long period of time. Was being treated like crap at home, couchsurfed at various friends and relatives houses. Got on my feet, got a very cheap ghettoish apartment. Car was falling apart because i had no money. Literally, a wheel fell off once. Hours got cut, moved in with a girl. Girl turned out to be a raging psychopath, moved in with my mom. Got my current job, and now im here.


Anyhow, seeing as how i basically live in a truck, and primarily use my "home" as a place to store my car and bike and booze....and a place to sleep (and i own my own futon, lol), and i leave when i wake up and come back when im tired....meh.

Man, it took me 2 years to get a job that wasn't for a temp agency, and actually had any kind of stability at all...and it was working for walmart. That crap sucked and barely paid for my place to live! I live in one of the worst places to try to find a job in. Not really my fault though, I was born here and i'm ready to move anywhere...but i'm not taking a pay cut just to be home more.

[tmk7c9]

After I finished college, I moved in with my parents briefly while I looked for a permanent place to live. At 23, I basically had almost a 'roommate' situation with my parents. Sure, they're still my parents obviously.....but I could come and go as I pleased at all hours of the night, bought what I wanted to, went where I wanted to....it was a much different situation than when I was in Highschool living with them. At 23, there really shouldn't be much (if any) accountability to your parents anymore.

The one hiccup I can think of, is if you aren't paying rent, they may resent the fact that you blow money on whatever you feel like, while mooching off of them for free. So be careful of that. If you have money for a bike, they probably feel that you have money to pay for groceries, rent, and electricity too.

Otherwise, I don't see how they have any say in the decision. If it really bothers them that much, just bail

[Free Coffee]

I meant to mention- buying a house is usually WAY cheaper. I grabbed a PHFA loan and a liveable (I think I just amde that word up) house when I moved to this part of PA. Mortgage is 285/mo.

[JayBell]

dude, I'm 40 and my parents gave me endless crap about buying a bike...and i dot live with them.

my father the proclaimed expert on EVERYTHING decided to start giving me "advice" on how to ride. just put aside the fact that hes NEVER been on a bike, as a passenger or a rider, but, like everything else, hes an EXPERT on it all.

I basically had to tell him to shut his piehole, he doesn't have the faintest clue what hes talking about.

basically, you just gotta man up and let them know in no uncertain terms that its your life, your decisions, your consequences.
