Still living with my parents - July 15th 2015, 03:06 PM
I'm 24 and still live with my parents. I don't work due to my disability (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) but I do part-time courses. Right now the situation of me living here is fine. My boyfriend also lives with his mother still (he's 25) he's basically her carer (she has rheumatoid arthritis) so as living on our own together isn't an ideal situation right now either.

I'm happy enough living here. I pay lodge (I'm on disability benefits and paying lodge was my idea because my parents aren't exactly rich) but it's no where near what I would pay if I lived on my own.

My friends and my sister keep telling me to move out. I get that it would help me to become independent but I don't really want to live alone :/ I don't see the point. There's a bedroom here for me and I'm happy here.

I know living with your parents at 24 isn't "normal" but I'm not normal :') so I don't know.

What do you all think?
