Thank you for the warm welcome to TT .. :) A few times in my adult life I ended up living with family, and then my best friend when I first was going through divorce. While I was very grateful for their help there really is no better feeling then having your own home .. :) Have a great rest of the week .. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're determined to find your own place! Good for you, and I hope it helps family tensions decrease as you expect it to.
ReplyDeleteNo more chore list? I thought that too when I moved out. Then, reality hits and you discover that ALL the chores are yours now - thus the reason there's no more list *sigh*
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding a great place to move to.
26 is probably a great time to break out on your own. The hard part is you never actually leave chores behind...now you will be in charge of all the chores. Man it sucks to grow up.
ReplyDeleteWell it sounds as if you're definitely ready for a change. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteYes, it sounds like you're definitely ready for a change in location. I was so much happier when I finally moved away from the parents after college.
ReplyDeleteSadly though, you'll still have a chore list, and it'll seem even longer, because your the only one around to do it all.
Good luck with finding a great place to live.
Good luck finding a place of your own. It is great to be on your own. I agree with everyone else about the chore list...lol You'll have the whole thing!!
ReplyDeleteGreat decision. It feels good to live in your own place with your own rules.
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that.
Good luck!
GOOD LUCK! Moving out from home was the best thing I ever did.
ReplyDeletemoving out gives you that great sense of having your own life. Of course the responsibilities grow, but you have to have them sometime
ReplyDeleteMoving out was the best thing I ever did!
ReplyDeleteI was out of the house by 17 for college (save for summer breaks) and fully out by 20.
ReplyDeleteI should clarify a few things: a) I understand I'll have to do chores, but I will be glad to not have my stepmom breathing down my neck while I do them, hence the "chore list", and b) I'd lived away from home for 6 years before moving back to save money after graduating. Life's not cheap, nosiree.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough decision to be living on your own and I found that out when I was already 31. My Dad joined me when I moved out so it still feels like living with parents. But this time, the chores are just endless and I now have to pay for my share. It's tough but I'm lovin' it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and I hope you'll be able to start anew very soon.
Happy Thursday!
Good luck! I think you really need to move out :)
