Top Ten Drawbacks of Moving Back In With Your Parents
By Staff · May 13, 2008
10. Even though you don’t have to do your own laundry, you insist on doing your own sheets.
9. Your one night stands don’t believe you when you say that your roommates are simply “mature”.
8. Your bathroom privacy is frequently interrupted with, “Hurry up, I have to go so bad I can taste it!”
7. All the sex toys you buy online now have to be shipped to your job. And the mailroom guys won’t stop asking you out.
6. Your parents have spent a fortune on a plumber trying to fix the “banging pipes” inside your walls.
5. You never get a moment alone with your Wii.
4. Questions like, “Have you met anyone lately?”, “Did you find a job today?”, “I think I deserve Grandchildren, don’t you?”, “What do you do all day?”, and “Didn’t you wear that yesterday?” start to really grate your nerves after like the second day.
3. You’re so plastered after a night of drinking, you forget whether your bed is on the left or right side of the exercise bike, and then you remember the bike is in your parents room…
2. Because the word ‘temporary’ will tear at your soul every single day you remain in that house.
1. The pick up line “Want to go back to my place? My parents are asleep and I can stay up as late as I want”, is hard to sell.

That’s pretty funny. Mostly because I’m in the same situation.
I’m about to be in that situation in a month. But its great for saving money
you’re telling me. so true. DON’T DO IT, RUN AWAY.
this is hilarious n i can totally relate as I just moved back in with my aunt and uncle recently.. whilst the family per se is somewhat different.. the mechanics is pretty much similar.. good one!
enjoy ur blog.. keep on writing!
You’re in your 20s! You’re an adult and should act like one and assume all the responsibilities. Get your own place and be a contributing member of society…….not an overgrown kid that needs to be taken care of.
Life is not quite that simple. Not everyone has it as easy as you apparently have. It is an expensive world today and many jobs don’t pay enough to allow you to live alone. Gawd forbid you are trying to pay for school at the same time. Moving back home for a bit is no different than sharing expenses with a lifelong friend. If you’re lucky, maybe you don’t even have to share the expenses and thus may be able to get out even that much quicker. ;c)
Of course there are cases where the person in question should get their act together and grow up but to assume that someone is not an adult because they have moved back home in an attempt to get their life in order is ludicrous.
Anyhow, great list. Very funny!
Dear Kitty- In Thailand and many other South-East Asian countries (not to mention parts of the Middle East), if you are unmarried and NOT living with your parents, something is terribly wrong in your life.
It’s a luxury only Western folks enjoy, one not everyone gets to enjoy as soon as they turn 20.
