I left home when I went to university when I was 19. I briefly returned to the family coop, with a girlfriend and our baby in tow, immediately after graduating and until I had found a job... that would only have been about 3 months in total but it felt like so much longer!

As much as I love my nipper, I'm counting the days until he is big enough to have grown his own wings and leave home. I see my role as a parent as providing him with all the support and encouragement that he'll need so as to be ready to fly the nest and achieve what he wants in life - as long as that doesn't involve living with his parents forever!

Moved out at 18, back home for a few weeks when i graduated, moved back out again then moved back 3 years ago, supposedly for 3 months and never moved back out.

I know I`m a rarity! Still living in the house I was born in! It`s an ex-local authority place and right out in the sticks and I bought it under the "right to buy" scheme. Those who`ve seen the place can see why I don`t want to leave! I reckon the way things are going, the only way I`ll be leaving is when they put me in a wooden overcoat!

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

Left to go to Uni at 19, but that doesn't count as I was back every few weeks to get my washing done!

Mind you, I was barely there during the holidays as I was working all hours to pay for my pizza & cider lifestyle

Anyway, properly left home when I was 26 - proper mummy's boy behaviour! In my defence I'd been saving up a deposit and looking for a house for about a year at that point, so that's much more reasonable!

Up until i was 26 i stayed at the parents during the week but at the weekends i stayed at the mates, girlfriends or some female i had copped off with

At 26 moved in with my gf....split up 2 years later and back to the parents.

Not long after that i met someone else and within 6 months i had moved in to her flat. Within a year we had moved into a bigger house which my then now "wife" still lives in.

At 34 i was back at my parents for 7 months till i got my own flat where i still reside now.

Going back to my parents was mental, arguing and whatnot and it was just crazy and explosive.

Because some can't afford to leave home or see no need to.

I have a mate who's 35 and still with his dad. The only reason why i think he's staying on is because the house is worth £250k and when his dad pops his clogs he's expecting the house to get passed onto him. He has his own successful business and is loaded and he could leave and survive on his own. No wonder he can afford a BMW X5.

I can understand young people not finding it easy to afford their own place, but they also need their independance in life.

What is a man in his 30's ever going to learn about life if he comes home to dinner cooked by mum every night and his ironing all hung up in his wardrobe?

Why is it something else?

I don't see any problem with it and that also applies to females wanting to stay with mummy and daddy. Some just can't afford to stay on their own and the council and housing association waiting list are huge. Unless you are a junkie or a single parent you will shoot further up the list and both of those don't apply to me.

I'm renting an ex council house from a private landlord and he's charging near enough double what the rent would be from the council. The only reason i do so is because me and my mother clashed and it was best that i got a place of my own. If it wasn't for that i would move back in with the parents.

Suppose i could make up with the wife and move back into my 3 bedroomed semi.....

I just think nowadays it is totally different, there are lots of people who can't afford to rent or buy anywhere because their wages are not enough to live on....and why there were articles in the news not long ago saying kids are living with their parents longer.

Obviously there are other factors too, people who divorce have to live somewhere and it is normally the man who moves out....so back to the family home is a godsend when you are battered bruised and skint !

A friend of mine returned to his mother after his divorce...he was 55!!

Now that is odd...if you can't fend for yourself at 55, but need an 82 year old to cook your meals then there is something wrong.

My middle daughter is 23 and still lives at home - I was married with a child at her age. I agree that it's difficult for young people nowadays, but I'm with you Jayne - thirty somethings livihg at home is just odd!
