Just out of curiosity, how old are you, and do you live in KC? When you say finish school, are you taking high school or community college?

If you live in KC, you can get a decent apartment for $350/month. You could probably roommate for less. You can live on your own (albiet not well) for $700/mo. Working full-time minimum wage will get you that.

I’m just saying that if you’re over 18 and you want to move out you probably can.

20 and yes I live here in the big KC. I have since graduated from HS and I am working on my AA degree from Maple Woods. I do NOT plan on moving into an apartment. Atleast not until I graduate.

How do u think your parents feel? You think having your kids live at home in their 20s is a treat? And then complaining about the situation on top of it? You talk about them contradiciting themselves, yet here you sit telling us how you are staying there to get your car paid off, finish school (and I assume) pay for university. But you hate having them around. You point of view will change drasticly when you are on the parental side of the equation. :bananen_smilies046:

I don’t think 2 or 3 years extra of me will kill them. I don’t see a rule or law that says I have to move out right away; I also don’t see a rule/law saying that I have to stay either 😆 When I talk about them contradicting themsleves, I mean stuff like…they so don’t get mad, then when I say something they take it the wrong way and get mad. Stuff like that. I am only saying I shouldn’t be living with them, because when I am around they only put me in a bad mood. If I am ANYwhere else, 98% of the time I am having a great day.
