Two approaches, two points of view, two worlds. If you have matured and want independence, will living with your parents interfere with this? There is a camp that categorically does not accept cohabitation. They justify their position by the fact that separation opens up new horizons of opportunity, makes it possible to grow up, make independent decisions and even change the paradigm of existence. Without separation and living with parents, in their opinion, a person becomes dependent, infantile, delayed in development, has problems in relationships with the opposite sex, they say, while you live with your mother, you will not get married, you will not get married, and also has no chance of achieving success in life. Therefore, having barely flipped through the calendar with the mark of 18 years, you need to immediately move out of your home with your parents, rent an apartment, and earn money for it yourself. Only then do you have a chance to find your happiness in life. The camp of those who support the position “for living with parents” is also quite large and has its own important arguments. Significant - savings on rent. Few people have their own home immediately after coming of age, except that parents, having incomes above average, were able to buy another apartment, or an apartment or house was inherited from the older generation. Therefore, those who want to leave their parents are immediately faced with the main question: where to get money to rent a room or apartment. And here the first difficulties begin. As a rule, there is no money for an apartment with good repairs, you don’t want to worsen your living conditions, you can move to a room with a landlady, with a shared apartment or a hostel, but where is independence if someone lives with you anyway? Of course, there is hope for that that your horizons will broaden, your chakras will open, you will experience insight, and then your salary will become larger and without any problems it will be enough for rent, for food, to fill up the car, and to put it aside for a deposit (what could we do without this?!). But does everyone succeed? And if not everyone has it, it means that there are different people with different abilities and capabilities and some are advised to go out on their own, while others first need to earn extra money? What if you take care of incapacitated parents and are forced to live with them for this? Can such a person be called infantile? Of course not. You can’t paint everyone with the same brush. After all, before, and many even now, and not only in our country, continue to live in large families, not considering it shameful, although it is not always good manners to refer to the past)) So, what is the “right” way then? Should you live with your parents or try your best to escape from parental care? Only you can answer this question correctly on your own, knowing all the nuances of your relationship with your parents, feeling their attitude towards you - respectful and supportive or demanding and toxic with overprotectiveness. Just when making a decision, do not forget to analyze: do you have a separate room where you can bring your partner and not experience the slightest inconvenience from sidelong glances, questions, or the need to obtain permission; can you make any decisions regarding your life without feeling guilty before your parents; Do they always listen to your opinion when making important decisions; Do your parents demand from you an account of their actions, despite the accomplished fact of coming of age, or even more than one; Shouldn't you be home strictly by a certain time? Do you earn enough money on your own to be able to provide for yourself and help your partner and, if necessary, your parents? If the answers to these and similar questions are favorable for you, it is unlikely that your parents can be called toxic; it is very doubtful that overprotection is about you. Therefore, you can decide to live together or separately on your own, based solely on feelings of convenience, without feeling like an infantile loser. But, if the answers are not encouraging, think about it, maybe you can become happier if you move out of your parents’ home and take charge of one?
