However i found your comment about how "you can't feel like an adult if you go to college and live with your parents" to be very ignorant and insulting.
Some people need extra support while they're saving to move out, and if you've been responsible enough not to get knocked up twice before your 18th birthday I don't see the poblem with your parents giving a helping hand if they're able to.
I personally am a 19 year old living at home while at college. I hope to move out next year, and I give my parents a small amount every month to allow me to save up while still chipping in with the bills.
I do feel like an adult thanks, sometimes the responsible thing to do is to realise you're not financially secure yet.
Sorry for snapping but your comment really irked me.
Could NOT agree more! I'm not gonna lie! I'm almost 21 and I still live at home, but my huge difference is I'm not a mom, heck I'm a virgin because I don't personally believe in premaritial sex to begin with (My personal beliefs, i don't care about others who don't agree), but I pay a LOT of money to my parents monthly, for a mix between car insurance, health insurance, rent, etc. they just have downgraded it a little so I can get prepared for WHEN i move out, knowing I will have to fork over a ton of money every month. I don't have my own car, but they let me drive one of theirs (which they say they will eventually give to me and make mine) but like said I pay for some of the insurance and I pay for all the gas in that car. But yeah just wanted to say I couldn't agree more with you and how yes it's okay to live with your parents past the age of 18 but once you pass that age, you should be forking over some money for some of the bills, expenses, etc.
