My mom was away for a week so it was just my boyfriend and me (we live together, all three of us) and sweet jesus it was nice...
So anxious to get my own place now. I feel locked up in this itty bitty bedroom!
When do you think kids should move out?
Also, what sorts of shananigans have you gotten into while the parents were out?

I think they should move out somewhere from 18-25. If you move out sooner, you probably (but not necessarily) aren't quite ready. If you still live with your parents past 25, you kinda just look lazy unless you have good reason.
And while my parents weren't home (when I lived with them) I was mostly on my computer, just because there wasn't much else to do...

Ladies always expect a lot on Valentines day, but even among those who actually try, men just can't live up to them. Maybe it's a lack of funds, or a lack of understanding. Usually a mix of both. If all you want is a box of chocolates and a cheesy poem written in sharpie on a Waffle House napkin a day late, and you still get disappointed, then perhaps you should reflect on your life.

I moved out of my house at 18 but was forced to move in with a friend after losing my job and living with a drunk roommate wasn't working out. Then my friend found a girlfriend and I had to move back in with my parents to give them space and my current job does not give me enough hours or pay to move back out and find my own place. I love my parents and all but honestly I like having a place of solitude that I can go to should I get cranky, want some peace and quiet, or where I can stay out of other people's way if they are cranky. As it stands I am currently stuck where I started basically. crying

Born to rock I left when I signed on with the military. Then I came back.
Within a year of being back, I started looking for a place of my own. The best deal I could snag was a place in need of some love. When I bought it, I thought I would be in it within a matter of months. I ended up putting a little too much love into the place. It's been a few years and I'm still renovating.
I am sick of renovating. Forced to work

i moved out at 22. i needed a change because my dad, sister and i werent getting along as much as we used to, i just needed my man to give me that final push. it was hard at first since i was an hour away from my friends and family and could only see them once a week but after a while i was fine.
hubby and i are now just 3 blocks away from my dad and sister, its enough space where i feel independant and close enough where i can still keep an eye on them. and now i get to see my best friend everyday which i love
the best thing about having a place of my own is i can eat what i want when i want and i can make cookies all day long and then just eat them

Well I can't really blame him. I don't, it's just still disappointing. I'm not a fan of the whole "well let's just see if he remembers" thing. I reminded him for weeks, and said more than once "I'm not looking for anything special, just a $2 bouquet of tulips or some chocolates or something, just to commemorate the day." But he didn't get me anything. He says he planned to go to dinner, but then I mentioned it's going to be super busy and he was like "oh yeah..." and that was valentines day. So I suggested we go for a nice walk, and he napped until it was dark and cold. So we went anyway, and when I mentioned that we did nothing for valentines day he shut me out and said I didn't really set the walk up to be a nice one.... SOOOOoooo we got a little bit drunk and then went to bed. Haha. He's usually more on the ball, though.

As long as you can still have fun together, it doesn't matter what day it is. Placing too much importance on a single day is often just setting yourself up to fail. Personally, I try to do my Valentines day stuff a week or two in advance. It's more surprising that way. That, and I tend to get all excited about holidays and such and then forget by the time they actually arrive. That way I get to it while I still have lots of ideas and plenty of time. Usually goes something like this: "*Ding* Wake up, b***h!" "Dude WTF?! It's 5 AM!" "Shut up and get in, it's Valentine's day!" "It's January!" "Valentine's day is in January now. I sent you a text two hours ago, didn't you get it?" " stare " Yeah... something like that. I'm such a charmer. heart
