How much longer should I stay at home?

So here is the deal I moved out of my parents aug or 2009 and then moved back in feb of 2010 bc me and my ex split up. Thinking things were gunna change I decided to move back. Well now its to the piont that all me and my dad do is fight and he is telling me how much of each bill I have to pay and when I can go out. I am 19 and getting really sick of it. Me and my mom both agreed it was better when I wasnt living at home. I cant afford to live completely on my own yet but I have friends that will take me in til I can get on my feet. I am trying to figure out what I should do. Bc I am not suppose to move out til end of may but I am thinking maybe go sooner? My father always try to find something wrong in what I am doing like I cant get my tat til I move out and he is mad bc I have 3 poercings in my ear. How can a 19 year old live like this? I am so confused what I should do and my new guy and I cant talk about it til he gets off of work bc I am at his place for the weekend. Please help so full of different emotions right now:(

Answer #2

If you live in your parents house and you do not pay your fair share of the bills then you are living there as their child and must obey their rules. It sounds like your Dad is upset that you spend your money on piercings, going out, and tatts but not on the important adult stuff (bills).

You should move out. You shouldn’t be living off from anyone else (friends included). Get a second job and a real roommate. Find a way to make it on your own or accept the fact that your not as mature as want to believe you are.

Answer #3

If you’re living with your parents, I think it’s only appropriate you live by their rules, seeing as they’re kind enough to take you back in and all, and yes, you should have to pay some of the bills. You have a problem with it? Yes you should move out. I wouldn’t recommend living with a boyfriend until you’re completely confident in your relationship and have known each other a while, if you can’t afford to live alone, move out with a friend and get a place together, I’m sure if you both have jobs you’d be able to manage the bills if you spent your money wisely.
