What age did you move out?

crazy cabbage

Am going into 3rd year of college so am going to say i moved out at 19. Spent 1st summer at home and was going to move out this summer but ended up getting a good job related to my degree near the someplace so made sense to move home this summer as well.
Never again though. Great for saving money for when you go back to college but would drive you insane.

HOW can they ground you? Whats stopping you walking out?
And what did you do?

Obviously I could walk out the door at any given moment but I'd have to come back eventually & get an earful & more precautions would have to be taken when leaving next time. Like a prisoner

I don't even want to say what I did cos it's so trivial! Just got blown out of proportion.

you'll be needing a job then college ain't fun being broke, especially if like me your grant was 6 months late. when that happened I was glad the parents were there (for free food if nothing else):D

I do have a job , nothing majorly brilliant but a bit of dollar here & there should come in handy

18. Moved in with the gf at the time, broke up about a year later, moved back home.

LOL, what did you do? Grounded at 17/18 is a bit over the top tbh.

Are you locked in your room?

THANK YOU. I completely agree, can't put words on the frustration.

It's a long winded tale but basically I stayed in a friends house without telling them :P Okay I shoulda told them , but it's hardly worth all this...

Nah I can walk about the house or whatever, it's the socialising that I miss especially after the treachery that was the LC, just want some freedom now.

Moved out for college at 17, mother died 2 months after, moved home until the following September, moved again at 18.
Moved out a few weeks ago at the ripe old age of 24.

Moved out at 18 just after the Leaving. Moved from Mayo up to the big schmoke by myself. Scary but worth it.

I moved out at 18 for college but I've been back home every weekend and summer because I've had a job at home since I was 16. I like weekends at home but I get so bored during the summers, so I'm partially living with my boyfriend too. I'm 21 now, btw.

Considering getting a job/internship in Dublin next summer, so this could be my last summer at home :eek:

When you left, was it on a bad note like? :P

If I do leave , it'll be to try and save my sanity , but also stop the relationship between us getting worse

I'm worried it'll look like I'm doing it out of spite..?

No not on a bad note but i didnt have the best relationship with my father at the time but i can honestly say that moving out brought us much closer together in the long run.

you don't sound that mature to be honest. It sounds like a little kid running away when they get in a fight with there parents:P

if I was acting like a little kid , surely I would want it to annoy them?
Infact it's the opposite, I hope for us to get on better afterwords.

But still , each to their own opinion :P

I moved out at 28 straight into a house I bought. I wasn't planning on staying that long but things like being close to college, then having no job, then having a job but saving for a mortgage encouraged me extended my stay.

I generally get on well with my parents which helped a lot.

Skuxx

I went working in Europe when I was 20 for about 18 months so I suppose then...I came back last October and got a permanent job here and proper moved out in Janurary, bag and baggage! My old room is an office for my dad now so I guess they aren't expecting me back!

19 when I went to UL. Moved back in after graduation for about 9 months while working in a local supermarket until I got a job relating to my course.

herisson

Moved out when I was 18 for college, was home for extended breaks from college. Moved abroad, came home, moved back to Dublin and finally moved back home for a while last year. I'm 22 now, I would love to move out for good but I'm saving up for my masters and I'm only in part time work so I can't afford to.

Mysteriouschic

I'm 20 probably going to move out this August my mum is frustrating to live with can't spend anymore time here.
