So When Did You Move Out?Follow

Quick, go see if there's a brown duck buried on your property.

I moved out when I was 18 or 19, only to move back in for half a year or so when I was 21, then moved back out for good and I've never looked back.

The first time: Three days after graduating I moved in with friends in another town, that lasted a few months until they drove me crazy.

The second time: I got an apartment with a coworker, he got married so I got to keep the apartment. That lasted for about 5 years, until my dad died then I moved to San Fransisco. Six months after that my grandmother got sick so I was asked to come home.

Third time: My friend was renting a duplex with some people, they got flooded and had to move so I stayed with them for a week to help. I ended up pretending to be a flood victim myself to get a free 3-month rent deal and a voucher for a furniture store from the Red Cross. (That was what started my life of sin, eventually leading me to work at the **** store).

When/If the Fourth time ever happens, I'll let you know. Anyway grats on your independence.

First time at 17 which was, well... lets say it was a failure.
Next time was at 22 and so far it's going pretty well and I'm happy to be where I am. And never moving back in with either of my parents, my relationship with both of them is better now than it's ever been.

I moved out when I was 21. Truth be told, I'd like to move back in for a year or so and just save up a ton of money so that I could make a fat down payment on a home.

I moved out the week after my 21st birthday. I had no ******* clue how to do any sort of housework/cleaning/lawncare/etc and it was pretty awful for a while. I remember taking clothes to the washing machine and thinking "what now?" while I stared at it. My house was a wreck for a very long time.

And this is why I'm trying so hard to get my son to do more around the house

I moved out when I was 20. Moved back at 21 for a couple of months, then back out again. And 2 years ago, the husband and I had some financial issues so we had to move in with my parents for about 4 months. That was hell.

I never moved out, my parents did. I was 26, it was a year or so ago. Last August if I remember correctly.

Me living with my parents was mutually beneficial. My mother was sick for many years, various cancers, etc. My father worked, but didn't make much, I made almost double him. I paid property taxes, insurance, etc. The house was in my name. Everything my parents made went to medical bills (Specialists don't work the same way as Emergency Rooms).

The doctors finally found out what was wrong with my mom, and she's relatively healthy now. They decided to move out, and after a short stay with me again earlier this year, they now live in an apartment attached to my grandmother's house. My dad's old job is finally starting to get back off the ground again, he worked in a lumber yard that focused on cabinetry and other housing related wood products. So when the housing market crashed, his job went down the drain.

They only live about 4 miles away from me, so I still see them every week, usually have dinner on the weekends. Currently with my basement renovation, my dad is working with me on the weekends to start/finish that. We are working on framing this weekend. I think we'll get the walls framed, and next weekend start working on covering them. It's the one reason my dad kept a relatively low paying job with little benefits. Since he works at a lumberyard, he gets wood and tools to use just about for free. It's going to look nice when we are done.

I've always been close to my parents, never really had an issue with them. My parents were the same way with theirs, and once my father left the Navy, he moved back to his hometown (with us in tow).

18, to the dorms. Never spent more than one night at my parent's house after that.

I moved out when I was 17, directly into an apartment with my then fiance / now ex-wife. I learned some pretty hard lessons early on, but if I could do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing.

Heh, to clarify and, without getting into a long-winded debate, I don't mean "holistic medicine" in the sense of acupuncture/acupressure, homeostasis etc., I mean herbal remedies.

So is this using plants with the same active ingredients as pharmaceuticals but with dosages that aren't as precise or controllable, or just a euphemism for marijuana?

More of the former than the latter. =p

Not a big fan of marijuana.

February this year. I'm 24.
