My dear mother said we could live at home rent free as long as we were being educated
I moved out at 18 when I went to uni, and I mean moved out, I packed everything I owned and went to uni in a rented van. I never moved back in. My brother finished College and didn't go to uni and moved out at 18 and my sister did the same. When my sister was in her early 20's she fell on hard times and was pregnant, the social told her to move back in with my mum and my mum told them "Fuck off she's an adult now and I don't want a baby in the house" Took so long to get them to stump up the housing benefit that she had had the kid and was back working again. She had borrowed loads just to get by. My mum lent her all the money, its a catch 22, if my mum had let her move back in they would never have given her a penny to move back out again. Better in the long run to lend her money and keep her in her own place.
