Re: Living with parents

I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but I think there is a lot of life experience you don't get living with your parents. And the maturity angle comes from the fact that most people can't learn to be an individual and fully mature into their own person until they break away from their parents and get some physical, emotional, and financial space from them.

I do have space. They aren't controlling or intrusive and don't treat me like a child and I mentioned above they go on trips often so I'm alone taking care of everything during those times. Those are the times that make it most clear to me that I don't like coming back to an empty house every day.

Re: Living with parents

I get why you say this because it is true for a lot of people, but it's definitely not true for everyone. For example, I could never live with my mother. She, like most parents, will never be fully able to stay out of my business, respect my choices, and treat me as an independent adult. There will always be some extent to which she treats me like her child and tries to manage me. If I lived with her I could not be fully independent.

My father, OTOH, didn't really treat me like a child even when I was a child. He wasn't a neglectful parent, he was just very...freeform. It was like he practiced open floor-plan parenting, where his job was the restrict me as little as possible while also keeping me safe and trying to teach me basic values like not being rude or mean. I cooked all my own meals by the time I was fifteen, did my own laundry, cleaned my own spaces, decided whether or not I was going to go to class that day, etc.

He and I live together, and we do each shape how the other lives to some degree, but we're equals to an almost bizarre degree.

As for life experiences, the only life experiences I don't get living with my father are ones I don't want, because I'm asexual/aromantic. And frankly, I let my male friends crash in my bed with me on occasion, no problem. I could have men over to have sex with if I wanted to. My dad's a feminist; he'd have zero problem with it.
