Normal for 20 year old to spend most every weekend with parents?

70% Normal
5 Comments

I am a 20 year old male in college and living at home til I graduate college. On weekends, when I am not working, I usually just go out to eat or to stores with my parents rather than see my friends. I don't really get to see my friends that often because they have GF's and I don't, so if they aren't working, they are usually with their GF's which leaves me no one to hang out with on weekends a lot of the time. Sure, I still hang out with my friends, just not very often. So my question is, is anyone else around my age like this? Is this normal?

Is It Normal?

    There is nothing wrong with you. Family is, and should be, important. People and society today make it seem like it's not normal and you should be drinking, sexing, and a bunch of other immoral things. But in the end, it's up to you to know what's right and what's wrong.

    I'm the same way, it sucks. They freak out if I want to go out without them. If I ever get the chance, they constantly nag me about drinking and driving, and to call them every second when I'm out. It's nice you enjoy it, I don't...I have no social life because of this

    Very normal. Your at an age where people are doing so many different things: some are married, many have girlfriends, some have children, many are partying, others away at college and on and on. I understand your being the lone ranger. Maybe pursue some of your interests in solitude. Writing, sports (take lessons), music. Something will break through for you.....

    You're getting stuck in a rut. One of the big advantages of living on campus, away from your parents, is the social life, and being in an environment that is completely different from what you were raised in. In hanging out with your parents, you are staying within your comfort zone.

    You need to go out and meet new people, make new friends. Go to some of the college parties, and start interacting. Get invited to private parties. There is usually lots of stuff happening on weekends. And, you just might meet a girl you like, at one of these parties.
