Living with my parents
Hi,
I’m in my 30s, living with my wife, our kid, my parents, and my younger siblings (22 and 15) all under one roof. We’ve got the upstairs, they’ve got the downstairs, but we share the same entrance.
Honestly, I still haven’t figured out how to make enough money to get our own place. The only real option would be a mortgage, but me and my wife just don’t have the cash for it. And it’s not even just about the money, it’s also about my social skills. I worry about fitting into a work team and just holding down a job without constantly stressing about whether I’ll have enough for the next payment.
On top of that, It feels like I'm doomed to have a bad relationship with my parents and siblings - because trust me, at this age, living under the same roof is NOT what I want. And yeah, I know accepting it doesn’t really change anything. Even Eckhart Tolle once said he couldn’t live with his parents, lol 😄
