Finally he is getting married

There are loads of them in the village, right up to the age of thirty, who still live at home. They're mainly males but the odd few girls too. My step-niece is getting married in July, and she lived at home until about four months ago, when she moved out to live with a friend. She'll be marrying two months before her thirty-first birthday, and her husband to be is a wonderful guy. I'm sure he was worth waiting for! Brightest Blessings.

I had to move back in with my parents when I was 21. It was my health. Eventually I got on disability and was able to move out. I was 25 when I got to move out for good. Before I had lived by myself for a year or so, but like I said, at 21 I came back for a few years. And basically that is the only reason people I know still live with their parents. Well, except one guy. He's 27 and he and his parents converted their garage into an apartment for him. He's got an excellent job, I guess he likes that he can spend his money on things other than rent. He just bought a boat! I figured he ought to be paying a little rent to his parents...

Do I know someone that is over 18 and living at home, boy I sure do. My youngest brother is 39 years old and just moved out of my mom's and only because she sold the house and moved into a senior citizens apartment block. My brother is a good looking guy and a body builder and a dietician and a trainer. He is shy though. He can't make the first move when meeting a girl because he doesn't know what to say. He had one girlfriend that he lived with for about 6 months but that didn't work out and he was so hurt he never tried to get another girlfriend. When a person is as shy as he is, getting rejected was just so devastating that he didn't want to take the chance of every getting hurt like that again. It is really sad actually as he is a good looking and very nice guy. But now that my mom sold the house he had to move somewhere and guess where he moved to. My oldest sisters house. It's like he just can't live alone. It's too bad he can't get over all of the shyness and meet someone because he would make some woman the perfect husband.

How lovely that your friend has finally found a person to marry and be his life partner. Here it is becoming even more difficult for young people to be able to afford their own homes so it is also becoming common for them to remain in the homes of their parents. It's still not seen as the norm though. While in some other countries and cultures, it is the norm for extended families to stay together. While on holiday in Egypt recently, I learned that in the countryside eople save up till they can buy a plot of land and begin building. They stop when they run out of money and start saving again to build higher. Succeeding generations live in the higher stories of the house and continue building up, which adds to the prosperity o the family and those that come after.

i am already 18,and i also leave with my parents.it makes me feel comfortable and safety to leave with my relatives. it's normal for couples living with the husband's parents here.

My brother is 33 years old,but have not get married yet. Lives with my parents. Although he has girl-friend before,finally,all breaked up.He always says that he don't get ready to marry, which confuses us. Maybe, boy is more pressure on marriage than girl. Girl feels happy when she is a bride,but boy have to be provider with whole family's stress in convention..

Hello my friend! At least he didn't rush into marriage and it sounds like he's a very tune in, intelligent guy, so many people rush into marriage nowadays and then live to regret it or worst. There is no stigma attached with people living with their parents especially when living alone is so damn expensive, it's down to the individual and in actual fact it shows that a person has a good strong bond with their family to be able to live with them. I am 37 and I am still living with my parents but I did move out when I was 27 and only recently moved back in because of splitting up with my ex and not being able to afford a place of my own, they provided a place for me which I am truly grateful for it is only temporary until I get back onto my feet. I am certainly not looking for anyone and when I move out it will be to get a place of my own, I am too independent and need my freedom too much. I am more than happy being single.

it is very nice.Bu in our country there are many people over 18 who stay at home. I myself stay at home. Here after marriage also, men live with parents in most places.

I am really glad for him. i feel it is better to wait till the right person comes along rather than go h eadlong into relationships which are just temporary. i know of many a guys who still stay with their parents and like it. they are caring towards their parents and earn well. They too prefer to wait. Marriages are not something temporary, having affairs is one thing, to marry for keeps is another. I thnk he is a wise guy and Im sure he will be very happy. One negative point I can think of is he has been too independent all this time. Now to be answerable to another person, to accomodate her nature at this late stage in life, may be a little difficult initially, but at 36 one is mature and should be able to get over it. Good luck to him and his fiancee.

I'm 22 and I still live with my parents, but after I go to work, I'll move out. In China, we normally graduate from university at the age of 22, then we go to work or further study.

Here in Philippines the culture is different. Most of the children are still in their parents custody after 18 years old especially those who are studying and can't support themselves financially. Some are already independent physically because they reside in some boarding or lounging houses. Some above 18 years old are already married and have kids but because they were not able to finish college degree they depend on their parents. Some people who are 18 years and older wanted to be independent but due to some reasons they can't leave their parents. Either parents won't allow them or kids can't survive independently. I knew a lot of people who got married at the age of 30 and beyond. They wanted to be stable first before getting married. I admire those people who were able to get married after lots of years of being single. I got married at age 22 but I have no regrets. My husband and son are my inspirations so I am more inspired in getting a new work.

i remember a movie regarding this issue. the parents even hired a girl just to make their son out of their house coz he is already above 30 yrs old. though here in the philippines that situation is normal i don't know any american based relatives who stay with teir family even they are already 18 years old. for them, you're such a loser if you do.

we live far away from our parents for our born city is just a little one and we got into university in a large city and have settled there.it's a culture for our youth to acquire an apartment if married.

hey guys...whats wrong living with the parents.....they look after me when i was child...now they are old...they need relax....why not live with them....make them feel that their child is always with them..

My man lived with his parents until he was thirty and moved here. He is from a farm thugh, and it is quite common that several generations live together, or at least on the same farm. Most people I know move away when they start college - around the \age of 19-20. some live home longer because it is too costly to get a place on their own. I'd go mad not having my own place, but I guess it is ok for those that enjoy their mother doing their cleaning and cooking

I am so happy for him that he finally found someone to fall in love with. I have seen this situation quit a lot in my life. They don't normally like to live with there parents, but on the other hand is it so normal for them as well. It is safe. It is comfortable. Most of the time these people get treated as little children even though they are adults. This makes it hard to go into the real life. There parents have always done everything for them. This is not always an easy thing. And if something happens to the parents these people can get really lost. Very sad. There are also situations that people live together with the parents to help each other out. The costs are less. Some children stay home to look after there parents. It is a good way to keep there parents out of a Old age home. Take care, have a nice day.

Yes, our son is 21 and is still living at home with us. He's in the final year of his apprenticeship, and not earning a lot - so it's nice for him to live somewhere without expenses and where his deodorant and shaving cream are miraculously replaced in his bathroom when he runs out - hahaha! I'm sure he'd much rather have his own place, but it's just not possible at the moment. His three sisters were far more independent, and left home a lot earlier. One of them went to the Defence Force Academy straight after leaving school at 18 and the others left home to live with partners they later married. Our son goes away for a week every month to Sydney for his TAFE course - so we have the house to ourselves for a few days, which is nice!

Saviour-V teleports in... Unfortunately, I'm one such person; at 29, I'm still living with my parents. I haven't found a job that actually pays more than enough to afford a decent place to rent, yet. But I'm still working on the finer details so I don't sponge off my parents too much. And as for those getting married, well...an old friend of mine with slight relational ties (something to do with one of his grandmas being a cousin of one of my grandmas) is getting married this 10th, along with his younger brother, so it's a double wedding. He's been out on the sea too much, so I'm half-wondering if he managed to snag a mermaid as his missus...^_~ Grinning, Saviour-V teleports out...

in china. the age for this , may be too old. if you don't marriage at that age , you will never marriaged expecially in our town. they will thought a lot about why you haven't marriaged at that age. or you have a girl friend. but not marrige. many parents don't want their children married at a old agge, they all want to have a grandson. and for their coutinue the family line. i am the sufferer.
