Ready to Move Out of Your Parents’ Place?
Living with your parents as an adult is complicated, to say the least. But when you find yourself with the nagging feeling that it’s time to ditch your parents’ basement for greener pastures, not even rent-free living isn’t a compelling enough reason to stick it out for much longer. While the list of reasons to move out of your parents’ house goes on and on, here are few signs to know when it’s time to call your local moving company:
You Have No Privacy
Though you may have your own space to retreat to, it’s only separated from your parents by a few thin walls. Any time you want to bring someone over, talk on the phone, or even just get some well-deserved peace and quiet, the watchful eyes and perked-up ears of your family are ever present. Getting your own place frees you of that ‘big brother’ stress. With that newfound freedom, you’ll be surprised how much easier it is to be yourself in your own space.
One Room’s Worth of Space Isn’t Enough
It’s very kind of your parents to share their home with you, but at the end of the day, it’s exactly that: their home. You merely have claimed a single room in their home, which can make it tough to express yourself and create the atmosphere that suits you. Imagine having more than one shelf to display your collectables or being able to paint the walls a color you like instead of the ones your parents picked out. Your personality could be on display throughout a whole dwelling, instead of being relegated to the basement alone.
You’re Ready to Set Your Own House Rules
Even if they are pretty lenient and you don’t have to abide by a curfew like you did back in high school, your parents have no-doubt established house rules that are, in the worst circumstances, non-negotiable and cause some tension even at the best of times. As the master of your own domain, you make the rules. It can be liberating to set your own standards, and even a little fun to flip the script and impose those rules on your visiting parents!
