Moving out
Sometimes things start to get weird when one of the flatmates gives notice that they want to move out. Or sometimes they don't even bother letting you know that they are leaving...
"I lived at my friends house for nearly a year before I finally got so fed up and pissed everybody off enough to make them all think they kicked me out, when in actuality, I just took off. There were many people living in this arrangement at the time… my friend, her little son, me, my boyfriend of the time, my friends two cousins and their bedmates, and another male friend. Lots of people crammed into a small space. The single male friend was a butthead. He would always come in drunk, loud, and berating everybody. He is the one who came to the front door knocking, broke the door down, dropped breakables, threw trash all over, and so much more. I have had more than enough of him and the cops were called. I yelled at all the roomies and then I moved out and went back to my mommy’s. Never again will I live with soooo many people. I can barely stand living by myself! I’m not a bad person, just have a temper problem when I do get frustrated.". That was a story submitted by Liz.Â

It sounds like you are young and moved in there thinking "well this could be fun and it gets me out of the folks' house!" when in actuality there is a lot of responsibility to living away from mum and dad and now you really realize why your parents always wanted you to clean up.. BECAUSE LIVING IN FILTH SUCKS!!!~ When it's just you living there, you can control the filth and the mess and the noise and you never get pissed because someone ate the food you bought and now you're broke. I am betting you appreciate your mum a bit more at this point and have a better idea of what you want when you're REALLY ready to move out on your own.
If you think I'm talking out of turn or that I don't know what i'm talking about...you're wrong. I had to leave home at age 16, still in high school... and pay all the bills and still go to school and work fulltime or more than fulltime... and I've had some less than desirable living situations but I had no "mum and/or dad" to move back to. It was do it or lose it... sink or swim. So I just did it. If I had been able to stay at home for a few more years, and get through high school and college, that would have been awsome. Once you start paying rent on your living quarters, it's rare that you ever get to stop. Stay home till you get the other costs out of your life, like a good education, buying a good car or whatever is the best mode of transportation where you live, and saving for possibly buying a home instead of leasing one. I would have loved to be able to do that.
