have your parents ever wanted you out of the house?
I thought asian parents wanting you to move out was unheard of since most households are generational and don’t want you moving out until marriage. all my asian friends are also in their mid to late 20s and still live with their parents.
Recently my mom told me I have to find my own place within a year and the idea has scared me since. Personally I feel like a bum if I stayed at home but im at a point of life where my job isn’t stable long term and I don’t have a good support system so I wanted to save up money before I move out. I don’t think my mom knows how bad the living costs and expenses are either.
I also have a sister who’s still in college and is thinking about moving back home bc of how expensive apartments/dorms are and my mom doesn’t seem to want her back home and this is making me anxious. (We’re both currently rooming together and I do pay half the rent and all the bills)
For more context, my parents are poor and work minimum wage jobs and are comfortable with it. They had 3 children and did not think ahead on how to support them all. They also became very right leaning somehow and I don’t know if this influenced their decision.
I wanted to know if anyone else has parents who want their children to be independent without knowing how bad it is right now.
