Why Do You Want to Leave Home? Part (2)
Okay, so maybe I’ve made it sound more like Siberia than your own place and freedom, but all these things are true and we have to think about them. Maybe you want to move out because:
Before we look at ‘when’we’re ready to leave home, maybe we should take a look at ‘why’ we want to do it. I realise some people are going to have really strong reasons for wanting to move out. Maybe life at home is just too heavy.
In some ways life might really be simpler if we came with ‘living at home’ use-by dates attached. Or maybe if we were fitted with one of those meat thermometer things that would pop out when we’re ‘cooked’ and ready to move on.
As for planning, you will need to think about what you can take with you from Mum and Dad’s house, what you need to buy, and how you’re going to organise household chores if you are moving in with other people. Over the last few years I have moved out for a few months on several occasions, but I have always ended up back at home. As a uni student I just found it easier (and definitely cheaper) to live at home.
When the time comes for me to move out of home for good, I know it’s not going to be easy. For starters, it’s going to be pretty hard trying to get into the car with Mum hanging off my left leg! And the noise will be deafening.
