    It's quite normal these days; house prices make it difficult to own a house, and rent is expensive - it's cheaper to live at home if you can. If you can pay your way or at least contribute so you're not a burden on your parents, then why not?

    My brothers vowed only to leave home kicking and screaming, coz they were smart enough to know when they had it good!! Remember that when you do move out, it's not ever the same if you have to go back :o(

    If your mom can stick you, I'd hang on in there and save so you have a buffer when you do go.

    Don't worry hun you're normal. I'm about the same age as you and I still live at home. I'm still in university and while I have a part time job there is no way in hell I'd be able to afford to move out because there's bills and rent to pay etc.

    I finish university next year so I do plan to move out of home within the next couple of years and yeah I'll probably end up renting and sharing with someone but that's the cheapest option for young people especially where I live in Sydney, Australia the price of living is very expensive. Sydney is actually one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in at the moment.

    Just as long as you're not having her wipe your ass and do everything for you. You're not a kid anymore.

    You say you have a job and are responsible so that is definitely good. 22 is not that old to still be figuring things out.

    You don't have feel like you're a loser. Theres nothing wrong with living at your Mom's, you'll appreciate it once you're out. I would stay forever.

    It may be normal but if you dont like it, move out. Get a job, support yourself (or live with a roomate) and you will gain some self-respect. Your mom probably doesn't want you to live with her @ your age either.

        It's tough, I know, trying to get your life together plus putting up with your mom who is probably not being helpful (in your mind). You will do it, your probably stronger than you think you are :) I would say good luck... but you wont need it.

    Take control. Move out. It's your life, not hers. If it doesn't pan out how you want it to, you've only one person to blame. Or maybe that's the problem?

    Take responsibility. Your life is yours. Don't blame other people for it.
