I see no problem with living at home if you are (1) in school (college, technical school, whatever),
OR (2) you are contributing to the household, via paying rent, bills, and/or buying groceries...
I lived at home during various points thoroughout college (I currently don't live at home). My mother required that I pay her rent, and I resented her for it b/c: (1) I am a first-generation college student, (2) I am paying my own way through school and working (3) I help her and my siblings out financially when I can and when it's needed...Not to mention the fact that the last time I lived at home I didn't even have my own room (or a room even) to sleep in, and she was charging me an amount for rent that was
thisclose to what I could've paid to have a roommate.
Also, she expected me to come home at 11pm and wash other people's dishes and clean-up other people's mess
(mind you, I was paying rent and she expected me to do this. And sh held the fact that I needed to live at home shortly over my head and in my face whenever she could..So, needless to say, I can't imagine myself living ther again and putting myself through te drama unless I was going to be homeless (and even then, I would still hesitate about moving back there)...
