After becoming an adult and living on your own, would you be able to move back in with your parents and get along?

I get along with my parents very well, but when I had to spend about 8 months back under their roof, I found that my mom and I were butting heads every once in a while. It wasn't that we were having any problems with the actual dynamics of the situation (we weren't having those "my house, my rules" problems because we both pretty much have the same standards), it's just that we're too alike in a lot of ways and after extended periods of time in close quarters, we both have little temper flare-ups. We do much better when we both have some distance.

Overall though, it wasn't bad. I felt very grateful to be able to come home and recover both emotionally and financially from the situation I had been in. I was able to restock my savings, and overall, I felt nurtured and supported in my parents' house.It's odd because the longer I'm away the more I feel like I'm a guest in their house and the more I can't even remember what it felt like for it to be fully my house, and that makes me a little sad.

I think the longer you're out on your own, the more awkward it is.

Yes I could move back in if I had to or even have my father move in here. I think this problem mostly exists for younger people who are still out partying after their initial freedom. Once you get a little older and your life calms down it would not be a problem.

Unless you just had one of those parents that didn't recognize your maturity or see you as an adult, this is usually due to some reason but not always. Or you just don't get along even not living together.

Yeah. I actually have well, not recently after getting married and having kids but before we were married right after we moved back from Germany my husband and I stayed with my father for awhile in my old room. It went fine.My dad respects all his children as adults now (I am the youngest) I think I had more trouble with my older brother who also was staying with him at the time.

Yes, my parents are amazing people, and I get along with them extremely well! I would not like the situation solely because I wouldn't want to be a burden on them, but getting along with them would never be a problem.

If I had to move back because of financial reasons and I didn't have a job, I think their nagging about job-hunting would get on my nerves enough to cause a bit of damage. But if I went home and worked to help save up some more money to get back on my feet again, I think I'd rather enjoy it. (Of course, I say this now because I'm feeling a bit homesick.

I'm sure there'd be something to complain about once I got back! ).

When my son was 4, I was divorced and had no choice but to move back in with my parents. While I am thankful for their generosity, I couldn't deal with living under their roof. I have several much younger siblings, and at 24, my mother was treating me like a 14 year old.

I was more than happy to help out around the house, and pull my share, but I deserved to be treated like an adult, which they had a hard time doing. Needless to say, it didn't take very long for me to find an apartment.

Yes, after becoming an adult and living on my own, got married I would be able to move back in with my parents and get along with them. I know it takes an effort to adjust but I know will be able to get along with my parents more than ever now that I have matured enough and know what it is like to become a parent since I also have my daughters. I am very thankful and blessed to have parents who are loving and supportive to their children.

I moved back in with my parents when my father was sick. Since I have a medical background and I am a full time mother and wife I was able to care for my sick father. My husband understands my situation so we made arrangements to live with my parents and he will have to commute from his work.

Although it takes a lot of patience to deal with elderly parents but so far we have gotten along quite well with only minor issues that were easily resolved. Sometimes, they tend to pamper their granddaughters which I don't approve of but my parents understand this. When my father passed away in January 2006, my mother asked us to stay for she does not want to live alone and so my husband and I decided to stay.

I am happy that my mother and I were able to get along and so is my husband living in one roof. And it took a lot of patience, understanding and very important is the love and respect for one another to make it all work out. Here in the Philippines we don't have many nursing homes and usually the nursing homes are those for elderly and children that are abandoned and mostly ran by nuns and foundations.

And I am at peace living with my mother so that I can look after her and she looks after her granddaughters too.

Thank you for sharing your story and your perspective with us. I can understand your fear and anxiety around living on your own. Living on your own isn?

T always easy but it isn? T impossible, either. It takes a lot of courage to admit when you?

Re afraid. It? S great you have a dad who is willing to assist you as you move towards independence.

This may be a great time to decide what it is that interests you, what skills you currently possess and what skills you would be able to develop. It might be helpful to find out what sorts of career or employment counseling centers are available in your area. These types of resources often have career interest inventories or other types of assessments to determine what you may be interested in and/or proficient at.

This can give you a good place to start when trying to decide what it is you want to do. There is a national resource available that may be able to connect you with employment and career counseling services in your area. The 211 National Helpline can be reached by calling 1-800-273-6222 or by logging onto www.211.org You might also see if there are any adult education classes available in your area, either through the local school district or community college.

Keep in mind, no one starts out with a list of references and job experiences. Most of us started out from the same place you are.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
