How do I not feel awkward about still living at home in my thirties?

(Yes, I have my reasons.)

Re: Advice Thread

Move out or start claiming your parents live with you. Or say that it just because the probation service housing was full.

Lol'ing at "start claiming your parents live with you". A cousin of mine just had that happen. (elderly parents, bless 'em.)

Re: Advice Thread

that's actually my situation, lol. bought the house to save it and moved back in. it's mine, so they live with me.

Don't care about what other people think.

Just embrace it, bb. You live at home. You have reasons. Moving out is a 'new' thing, anyway, since families lived together for generations and centuries before this.

If you're thirty, your parents are probably older/aging, so if you *must* explain yourself (which is not incumbent upon you), just say it helps them with bills/health issues/mobility/whatever. I'd move in with my mom/have her move in with me in a heartbeat if i could.

Why would it be awkward? One of my wealthier friends still lives with his mom, because... well, they cohabitate well, and the rent on Long Island is ridiculous. They're already in a house far too large for his mom and her bf alone, so why NOT live together?

Lots of people stay with their families. No shame in that.

It's pretty much why my sister and I stayed at home as long as we did. We were both able to save so much money and be at a good place financially when we finally moved out. California/Northeast, it's just too expensive to move out for the sake of it.

Re: Advice Thread

Yeah, no kidding. I mean, I'm going to be living with roommates till they put me in the ground; living with family isn't really any different, except you didn't meet them through Craigslist.

Depends why you feel awkward. Awkward because of social expectations of independence? Like a lot of people pointed out, it was the norm for a long time, and it's once again becoming, if not the norm, then pretty darn common. Or do your parents make it feel awkward? Is it not a good fit? Then you might have to think through ways to make it easier somehow. Establish boundaries. In any case, find ways to reframe your thinking. Awkwardness is a result of expectations, so take a good look at those expectations. They might not be worth the value you're giving them.
