I was 17 the day I came home & found my clothes packed & sitting on the front steps.

Oh, that is sad. I like my kids home as long as possible. I guess they have been very good kids, I have never had a reason to ask anyone to shape up or ship out. The 2 college kids are here at home with me and I am very happy there are here!

I moved out at 18/19...I was in college in another city. Now I'm back with my parents until I get my surgery. It's a little shameful at 23, but I figure I have a pretty good exuse.

I entered the foster care system at 13.

hey kiddo, don't even worry about it. i'm 26 and was staying with the folks for about 6 months until i bought my house back in July. saving up. and it is not shameful. embarrassing telling people that you're still at home, of course. but not shameful.

Usually when I hear them go "23??!!!" I whip out my school schedule and my catheter...instant sympathy! Saving up to buy a house is an EXCELLENT reason to stay at home, IMHO. Especially when a mortgage can be as much as apartment rent...so much more financially sound.

What can I say, it's the family business. One day you'll see me on COPS.

"Apparently"?

Well if Wolverine expects a show for quarters, I'm certainly not gonna do it in the pants I was wearing when I cleaned the kitchen floor. That's just not cool.

I applied for early admission to college and was accepted my sophmore year of HS. I never went back home to live. So that made me about 16.

I was 17. Moved out to go to uni in 'the city'.

Interestingly, that's quite young for Oz. Generally people live at home until they finish uni (if they can) - or at least for the first couple of years of uni. I even know of a few 30+ who live at home. naturally, most have moved out at some stage, but have moved back into save for a house or something.

Noticed that everyone that's responded so far is from the US. Seems as if it's more the norm to move out when you're still quite young???

I moved out at nearly seventeen, but kept rolling back like a bad penny!!

I finally moved out once and for all at 23.

Well good for you, T-girl! I've always suspected you were very self-suffient and independent. I, too, left home with my parent's blessings at the young age of 15. You grow up fast in Montana, and can get a driver's license at 13.

I moved into an apartment with my girlfriend. (We played like we were married) I had a good after school job, a nice car (that I bought myself), was pulling down A's and B's at school, and was saving for college so why not? I've been on my own ever since. I got homesick at first, but that faded gradually.

the ripe ol age of 17, moved our went to school , graduated, and moved my boyfriend in, got married, and should have joined the marines like I panned. The feeling of noooooooooooo rules, maybe that why I love living on my own so much?

ewww, well, the wedding date is moving up, guess I better get used to not hoggin the covers, and Jives, did I read drivers license and 13 in the same sentence, the thought of my tempermental son 13 and a 1/2 behind the wheel of a car YIKES, to much for this small brain to handle.
