Default At what age should men move out of their parents house?

There is a growing trend for men to stay tied to the apron strings for longer these days.

Me I moved out at 18 and bought my first house at 20.

I personally don't see how these 30/40 year old's do it. I mean, I like to wander round my gaff in the buff, come home at what ever hour I like with out fear of disturbing anyone. Bring someone back and ..... er..... make noise.

I could not do that if me mum was in. Do these people have a sex life?

So the question is, At what age should a man have moved out?

I suppose unless your parent(s) are ill then it has to be the first too.... the earlier the better really. I'm not a man but I moved out when I was 19.

Its all about finding your personality and finding out who you are

Nice thread.

I bought my house when I was 22, but I do have friend who is forty and lives with his mother. He does have an excuse in that he's only in this country for about 5-6 months of the year.

There are just so many different circumstances and factors involved that it's not easy to say. I feel that 16/17 is definitely too young but would usually accept that it's workable.
18-25 feels about the perfect age to leave home , assuming normal circumstances.
When a man is over 30 , not happy being single and yet still living at home then I would consider that he was too old to be living at home.I went for option B tho I left at 19.

Circumstances play their part and my husband went off to college then came home again. He moved out in his late 20's and brought a flat at the same time.

I guess if you have a job then maybe you can afford to pay rent or buy a property but it is not always that easy? I had a presumption before I met my husband that men should move out in their early 20's but does it matter? I do not consider my husband any less mature/more mature/more mummy's boy/less of because he lived at home so long.

I did question him on why he lived at hom for so long and all he said was "circumstances". As I said before, maybe that is all it is sometimes?

I think lates 20's is ok...... most people go off to uni and then maybe move back for a while.... BUT..... when you get into early 30's + its getting a little norman bates.

Aye. Norman Bates in deed.

I'd like to hear from any forum members who are in their thirties or forties who still live at home. What do you think?

My brother's nearly 22 and still lives with our mum and dad, last I heard he was looking for a house. I'd been living away from home for a few years when I was his age - finding a bloke was the catalyst for me to do that but I'd been wanting my independence for a while prior to that. I don't think gender played a part, it was just my personal choice, and some girls I know in my age group, like my cousins and my best friend from school, are still living at home and happy to do so.

I'm going to wait until I get a decent job with some money and then buy a flat proberly.

I will properly move out when I am about 22 or 23.

Me too but I'd feel guilty to put my mother under so much strain. I think that a man in his thirties should give his parents a break.

I'd like to hear from any forum members who actually do live with their parents while being in their thirties.

I agree Meerkat

I know many who still live at home with their parents and many who don't.

Sometimes, a family of 5 will become a family of 3

2 kids grow up and move on and 1 stays with their parents. It is attractive to many and so many different set's of circumstances involved.

Do you think that a grown adult should try and fend for himself instead of relying on his parents for stability.

Most guys i know are not relying on their parents for stability.
Each to their own i say, i don't have a problem with it all, unless of course they are real mammy pammys who cuddle up to their mams then thats weird...but an ordinary bloke living at home with his parents is fine by me.

I just dont think a grown man should be even relying on his parents for that. It's just my own personal opinion.
