Does anyone live on their own?
I see so many posts lately complaining about living with in-laws or roommates. I had to stay with my parents for 2 months last summer (while my crazy ex was refusing to leave the house I pay for) and I was grateful every day that took me and my kids in. I kept our stuff tidy, cooked for my dad, and tried to stay out of their way. I live on my own and while it gets lonely after my kids are in bed, I need my own space. My mom and I have different ideals for keeping house, so we don't cohabitate well.

My husband and I have owned our home for 8 years and have only lived alone for 2 of them. My parents lived with us when their house burnt down. His mother lived here when she left her husband. And now it's my aunt that is living here, to get back on her feet after leaving a bad relationship. I am happy that I have been able to help my family when they have been in need, but I am over it. I am looking forward to my aunt leaving so we can be on our own again.
I have lived on my own since I was 16. Lived with my ex and our kids.
Then lived on my own with the kids, now with dh and our kids.
I've never lived in anyone's house (apart from my parents as a child) and I've never had anyone live with me.
I like my own space too much, I'd never cope sharing a house with anyone else.
The lease in my condo was up in August and my boyfriends lease on his place wasn't up until March so i moved in with my mom for a few months. His place wasn't convenient for commuting to work. Once my daughter was born and I was on maternity leave I moved in with him. And we bought our first house in March.
Me and my OH lived with my parents for nearly a year when my son was born we all got on really well and still do to this day but we needed our own space and our own family home, so saved and moved out, even tho they didn't want us to, we didn't want to but it's what was best for everyone
Hubby and I got married when I was 18 and he was 20. We moved in to a place of our own on our wedding night. While he was away at basic training I lived on the same property as my mom (different place) for 8.5 weeks. Once he was done and in tech school I moved into an apartment near where he was receiving training. So technically, we've been living on our own for almost 7 years lol. No way in HELL would I move back in with my parents or his if I could help it.
We live with my in laws while I do nursing school. While I am grateful they let us it's definitely not easy. We want to move on our own but my husband is feeling regretful because his dad is getting worse (type 1 diabetes) and wants to be able to see him every chance he can get. But we do pay them a decent rent and help around the house a lot, I'm just glad their house is pretty big or I'd feel very crammed.
I haven't lived with any family since I was 18. That was 10 years ago!
We live 10 hours from any family and are well rooted in our city.
My mother in law is a great cleaner and cook though. I asked her to move in and for my husband to move out once ? (kidding obviously...kind of) she's stayed with us a month every time we've had a baby. I seriously cried each time she left!
My husband daughter and I do. We lived with my sil for abut a month (dd wasn't born yet) but it was because we were going to move to her area.
We moved back to where I'm from and will be here till my husband graduates colllege in April next year.
I feel too uncomfortable in others homes for a couple days let along longer. If we needed to again id do it.
My husband and I had taken in his 16 year old brother before we got married, and then my husband's 27 year old friend about a week after we were married. It was absolutely horrible! We had to kick the brother out after he started threatening me and destroying our apartment. Then, after a year of not helping with rent or a thing we kicked out the friend 5 days before our daughter was born.
I will do everything in my power to never have to live with people again. It was the worst.
I did live with my parents for a year after my now-ex husband left me (the first time) and it was really humbling. Any time I've needed my parents, they've been there, no questions. I love them so much. I'm glad I've always worked and can support myself and kids. I don't get child support, so it's all on me to keep us afloat.
My dh and two kids all have our own house. Granted there have been a few transition times we lived with my parents from moving cross country. But we were always up and out on our feet in like a month or two.
I don't know how so many of these ladies do it. I love my parents so much, but even staying with them for a short amount of time and I'm at my breaking point.
We have our own now. I have lived with my parents while married once. And with my in-laws twice. Once their place, once ours. Recession was an interesting time to be a fresh adult.
But no more than 3 weeks, except for the time they came and staid at our place. That was 5 months. So more like a long vacation with all my crap. Lol.
My SO and I have lived alone since we were 17-18. But one day my SO's younger brother got kicked out of his dad's house so my SO let him stay with us. It's been 3 years and this fool is still here. But I'm ready to get pregnant again and he's taking up the extra room... Sooo. Lol. But he makes good money and has had a serious gf for a while now. So hopefully he takes it upon himself to GTFO! Lol.
He doesn't bother me so much anymore because he's barely here now, but for like 2 years I wanted to kick his ass out so bad.
Lived on my own with DF since i was 18. Then we had to move in with my in laws for a few months (which was pure torture) after DF lost his job and then have been living own our own for a year and a half now. I like the freedom of not having to conform to someone else's living and having my own place to get away from everyone. Even now and then I'll go into my bedroom just to relax while DF is home. I like my space lol
We always have except for a 3 year period where we were offered to join them on a rent free property in the kootaney mountains. It wasn't out of necessity it was for the sheer joy of the experience. All we had to do( them as well) was maintain the property and take care of the sheep the owner brought up in spring to fatten up. It was awesome. We moved on when we decided we wanted to start a family.
DH moved out at 17 when he joined the military and after basic and AIT we got married (I was 17 and he was 19 when we got married) so we have been on our own since the day we got married. But my inlaws have offered to take us in if DH decides to get out of the military, and that would be good for us so DH could go to school and stuff. But we aren't sure when he is getting out yet lol
I went straight from living with my parents to living with my husband. Lol. I was almost 21. Hubby and I had to live with my parents for a couple months after our one yr anniversary due to our landlord selling our house and not being able to and one soon enough. It was like 2 maybe 3 months.
I've lived on my own since I was 18. For awhile it was with my ex husband (we were still married and together during those years), but it's just been me and the kiddos for a little over a year now! I couldn't imagine living with my parents, I love em...but I like living on my own lol.
I lived with my mom until I got kicked out. Then I lived in a shelter. All of my cleaning habits and anything else, I learned from my mom so we're pretty much the same in that aspect. I prefer to be on my own. The shelter was awful. It was a shelter for just teen moms and those girls were so uneducated and immature. So glad I'm far away from it.
My husband, son, eventually daughter (when she was born of course) and I lived with my inlaws for about a year and a few months. They were very generous to help us live rent free to buy a house. We saved up enough money and have been on our own since the middle of October. I love walking around my house in whatever I want. I don't have to worry about anyone but my family and most importantly I don't have to listen to my sibling inlaws b**** about my kids ☺
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I moved out when I was 18 and have never looked back. I couldn't imagine living with family.
I live a 8hr plane ride from my parents.
I lived alone when I first moved out and I loved it. Df is the only person I've enjoyed living with, I dislike people in my space.
