The usual age for people to move out from their parents` house in my country is about 25. I f you do it before that is because wether you have problems with them or you are getting married, at least those are the most common reasons. We normally do it after 25 because we are studing at college or want to be a little more with your family, save money or just be irresponsible for a little more.
The thing is that eventhough this is normal, my case is quite different from that.
I have travel by myself within my country and abroad since I was 15. Going from here to there, saving moeny for my next trip, leaving my family at home. I never cared how long I was going to live at my parents´ but now that i think about it is a bit of weird.
Anyway, I am 27 but not moving out.
Believe it or not,
My parents are moving out!
I live in a quite important city at my country but my parents have always wanted to live in the country side. They have come to live here because we are 4 siblings and this city has some of the best Universities at my country. Of course the 4 of us entered to the best one, proud for us, but my little sister is just 18, it means, she just entered last march and my brother and my other sister are in 4 year, at least, one more year to go.
My father applied for a job in a small city near the mountains. He said the weather was drier, cleanner and quieter than here. My mother loves gardening. She agreed with my dad and told us that her vegetables would grown healthier and faster and anywhere else. A very good point.
It happened 1 month ago that he applied an my siblings and I did not believe it at all. Today they are actually off in that city looking for a new house to live in. Yes, my dad got the job, starting next monday, and this house is quite a mess.
They are setting everything up for us to live in ourselves, logs for the fire, phones for emergency cases, 6 month paid in advance for the YMCA, changing the front door into a more secure one, everything.
We are kind of ecxeptical but they are actually moving, leaving everything to us.
I feel that I am quite grown up to live n my own, but when I think about all the responsabilities I have as the elder I get confused a little bit. I am currently working in good job, have my own money, my own life and eventhough i still live with my family and I am quite independent.
But i feel that this changes everything.
I never thought I will be living with my parents forever, but dont you agree that this is kind of weird? I do.
