As a parent of a live-in graduate, you have answered your own question. If you’re uncomfortable at home, you must move on or have a meaningful discussion with your family. They must believe that you WANT to live in their home with or without an education. You wouldn’t stay at someone else’s home if they were uncomfortable with you, so the same goes for your own family. Minimum wage only means minimum effort. You can buy a home, get a doctor’s care, and even save for retirement on minimum wages if your smart about it. Don’t let wages stand in the way of you enjoying your short time on earth. Finish school and be proud of your accomplishments. Your own pride dictates your family’s pride in you. Be kind, fair, and forgiving, and you’ll make a fine citizen.

Its ok I guess. I still cant figure out why you HAVE to move out. Does not mean u are irresponsible or anything, just a personal decision (if ur folks dont kick you out that is). Screw everyone else, do what is best for you.

Comments on: How many graduate students still live with their parents? Do you think it’s a reasonable decision?
