johncocker Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I Read a story on the web before about an Italian couple taking legal action to evict their 41 year old son ! Apparently, a common problem in Italy But what about in the UK?So – how old were you when you fled the parental nest, or are you still there at home at age 40 getting your mum to do your ironing, cooking, cleaning etc ( shame, shame on you (I left when I was 19 to go overseas and work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzijlstra Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Around my 19th birthday I believe, can't remember whether I was still 18 or not. I felt I had to get out for all our sanity. I'd mostly been supporting myself since I was 15/16 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 19. People who stay at home beyond about 25 are saddoes IMO. Not counting people looking after disabled parents and the like of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 20 years old to get married. Moved into our first home, a cheap and cheerful terrace. That was in 1973. Not so easy these days of course. People often don't want to commit to marriage, and terraces are no longer cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonzo77 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 People are moving out at an older age these days. It's hard to get on the housing ladder and renting is just throwing your money away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
