When Did You Leave Home?

The average age that people are leaving home has risen from 22 in 1982 to 27 in 2012.

When did you leave home? Was it your choice or did your parents chuck you out?

And for posters like Hipster, will you ever leave home?

I left home to go to University at 18 i then had to move back home unfortunately when i was 23, I then moved away again at 25.

You were removed from Uni? Was it the stalking thing again?

I was only in University for 3 years, then i graduated. A lot of people leave for that reason.

Ha ha, good one. But you said "unfortunately" suggesting something happened.

I left home just after I turned 19 to go to university.

After finishing my degree and postgraduate course, five years later, I returned home skint, found a job, saved up, and moved into my own house 18 months later.

I think there is a real north/south divide with this issue.

If you live in a nice part of the south east, unless you get a very highly paid job, you face a choice between staying in your parents home or living in a shit studio or one bedroom flat, or even not being able to afford to move out at all.

When I was 21 but it was a lot easier in 1971.

I intended to leave home two Septembers back. I wanted to go to Oxford University, but my parents pressured me into going to Bolton.

So now that I'm at Bolton Uni, a thirty minute walk away, I've no need to leave nor could I afford to. I could stay in the halls of residence but they're absolutely awful!

When I've qualified and I've paid off my debts, I would like a place of my own. But it couldn't under any circumstances be outside of Bolton.

I still live at home and I'm in my thirties. And I wouldn't change a thing. My mam cooks and cleans for me, gives me space when I bring a slag home, and I've got £767 saved in my building society account. What could be sweeter?

"My mam cooks and cleans for me"

So it's her fault in more ways than one.

Fault? There's nothing wrong with what I'm doing. I suspect most people are jealous deep down. Breakfast and tea on the table, clothes washed and ironed, bath run, toenails clipped - you'd have to pay big money to get someone to do all this. I get it for free. And my mam loves it. She does the same for my brother.

i'm still living at home

Left Bolton when i was 19, best thing i ever did.

Why? What was wrong with your folks?

I left home at 13 but they eventually caught me and took me back.
I jumped from the back bedroom window onto the outside bog and legged it up the alley to Brindle Heath railway goods yard where i hid in an open coal wagon.Ended up in the midlands somewhere where i then hid in a lorry and ended up in wales, where i slept in a mixture of barns and sheep sheds and a derelict house where i had my first sexual experience with a vagrant woman.She was clean though didn,t smell or anything but i reckon she was around 30-35 she showed me a lot i must say.I was knackered as she was very demanding, but she kept me fed for a week just went out and got food from somewhere.I remember she had a tattoo of a fairy on her bum and she,d say slap me on the fairy young-un i like it.Eventually i got caught sleeping in a house i broke into very posh it was, the owners came back and called the cops and they worked out who i was and took me by police car a ford zephyr all the way back to salford and my parents were so glad i was back my dad kicked the shit outa me and then went and bought me home a double diamond and said get that down yer lad and if you run away again dont expect another double diamond.

And she rubs your little willy to help you sleep at night! No wonder she has to giev you space when you get your wart infected warthog home, otherwise it would be menage-a-trois!!!



I left home at 18 to go to Uni, but returned home when I was 24 due to family crisis, then moved out again when I was 28 and not looked back to moving home.

Yeah, a brainy 21 year old is really going to date a chubby 40-something Bolton tosser. You made her up, admit it fatty.
