Moved back in with the parents...
The boy (of 2.5 years) and I broke up in July and I've finally moved my stuff back to my parents' place (after almost 2 years). I didn't want to make any rash decisions about apartments and roommates when my life was in huge upheaval as it was, so when they offered I took them up on it. It'll give me the chance to pay off bills/save money/travel/do something exciting.
I'm interested to see how this plays out though after living by my own rules for so long...I think as soon as I get my laptop/a tv in my room things will be alot better... Anyone have any advice that they'd like to share/insight into what I'm in for?

I dunno. It sucked. It was nice to conserve for a while but I spent a decent portion of my year there staying at friends' places. But I'm glad I did it, and it definately helped me out when I needed it. So for that I'm eternally grateful to my folks.

Hopefully your Parents will be understanding that because you are similar in age to me that you are responsible enough to make your own descisions. Best of luck! :)

For me the hardest part about living back at home is that I can never be at peace if i'm in a common area like the living room. Whether I'm reading or on the computer my dad will still insist on talking to me when he can see I'm obviously busy. But if you've got a little set up in your room it'll make it easier. It's just irritating being stuck with only your bedroom as your own space.
Though After moving back (and breaking up with my boyfriend) it was nice to live with people who cared that were trying to brighten my days in little ways. Now every weekend I wake up to breakfast, and when they know i've come home really late they'll delay it by a few hours so I can sleep in longer. :)

I miss living with my parents as much as i hated living with them
Moving out on your own is a huge step in life. Paying bills, buying ur own food and Tooth paste! sucks! You gain a huge amount of respect for them after Im only 18, and i just moved out this summer, and man does it suck, even though my mom and i were horrible together i miss living with her ..now i kinda wanna move back home :(

I moved back in with my rents march. THey even gave me the basement suite. It only lasted 3 months til I moved back out....
I'd much rather pay 2g's a month for my own house with no roomates, than have free rent and live with the parents....

I've been out twice and find myself at home again.
I know alot of people can't live with their parents but luckily I can. I think living away from home made it actually easier to live with them again. Especially since I'm the only kid at home now. Before there was so much going on with both of us at home. And honestly...I'm in no rush to get out on my own again. Especially being at home I can afford my hefty car payments...which would equal most peoples rent. Id rather have freedom to come and go when i please at home with no money issues and being able to save some cash rather than be going from cheque to cheque trying to afford everything else.

Having to move back home sucked some serious balls. Had I not been on EI I probably could've found a new place to live but I know landlords tend to like their tenants having steady jobs. Living with my folks wasn't so bad... we'd both grown and developed more respect for one another so that aspect was okay. It was also pretty nice to not haveta cook for myself all the time.
The only things that really bothered me where the whole being so far away from everything/everyone and being back in a town I despised. Yay for places that put you in a bad headspace :D You deal... get through it... and life goes on.
