I moved back home 2 months ago after living away for 2 years, it's a mixed bag to be honest.
The good thing is there is always food in the cupboard and wine to be had, general support whether is be financial or otherwise, I get to see my little brother (17 and taller than me) every day and help him out with the various shit girls, school and life in general serves him up because I've dealt with the majority of it before....OH! and the internet connection is always fast.
However, I really miss having my own space and the freedom to sort out my own shit without my parents intervening the moment things go wrong, I mean I appreciate there help but I have my own way of dealing with things. I also enjoy a joint/pipe every now and again - purely for recreational purposes - but my parents have a no drugs policy; this of course means I can't buy any when it's going, nor can I come home ripped out my tits.
I just kind of feel I've taken a step back, like I'm hiding all these things I get up to behind my parents back, when back in the flats I was free to do whatever I wanted.
Another downer is that they live out of town, which means a lot of leaving nights out/gigs early to catch the last bus home which again is a step back from what I'm used to.
I just miss having somewhere that was properly mine, though I love my family as much as anyone does I find living here really awkward.
I don't know why I'm spilling all this out, I guess I'm just venting because everyone else I know is too busy venting to me asking for advice etc. Not that I hate being that guy, it's just I get tired of not having anyone to talk to about these things because boyfriend x is being a dick.
