Moving Out of Home Tips from My Dad
I know moving out of home can be a bit daunting but making sure your parents are supportive can make things a whole lot easier. Remember, your parents have been through the process in the past so ask them for advice.
They want to help and they want you to make them feel part of the decision making. Not only will you pick up some valuable tips, but if your parents feel they have been consulted they will provide a lot of help and make the transition much easier.
The very worst thing you can do is have a heated argument,storm out and set up home somewhere else. Believe it or not, a child moving out of home is a traumatic experience for many parents— their ‘little baby’ is flying the nest. So let them down gently. Start by talking about moving out a couple of months before you actually plan to. In other words, plant the seed early.
Ask your parents how they found moving out the first time when they were younger; why they moved out; some of the pitfalls they encountered; what age they were. Then, start talking about a move-out time a couple of months in the future. A few months’warning means your parents have time to get used to the idea.
