    Ok.... i know its kind of long but bare with me...please!!!
    I am 19 almost 20... I have a job... I pay bills and I live with my sister... and my parents live there too because we almost lost our house because my dad couldnt pay for it... so we our renting out our old house and living with my sister... I share room with my nieces well i am an overall a good child... I dont do drugs...and I like to have good clean fun... well i am very responsible and ive proved that many times... well heres the deal... my parents still treat me like they treated me when i was 16... they take care of me like a baby... I still have curfews... and I still have to ask for permission to go out... and things like that... they wont let me grow up!!
    I sometimes feel like being screw this i am going to do whatever i want... ive talked to them about it but they blow me off telling me they care of me... i know they care but I hate the way they still treat me!! I pay bills, work 2 jobs...give my sister money for rent... and all this stuff... the thing that makes me mad to is that my 18yr old brother... doesnt go to school...he dropped out... he wasnt working he just started working yesterday and he gets to walk in and out of the house like nothing...he has no bills to pay...he doesnt pay rent...i am just so fed up with it... i want to move out... but... i dont know if its the right thing to do...any suggestions...comments...

    You are almost 20, you work, you are paying bills, I say do what you want. It is nice to know they still care but the way they show it has to evolve, you are now an adult, not a child. It seems there is an obvious double standard given your brothers freedom. If everything you say falls on deaf ears, do what you must and what you feel is right for you, if that means moving, move.

    You are almost twenty years old. It is time that you move away and establish your independance and your own identity.

    If you fall on your face then your parents will still be there for you.... Go for it make the change and help them cut the umbilical cord

    I know I try to be like that with them...but they just dont seem to get it...like for example yesterday I went like 1 hour out of town to the lake and we went into the little town and hung out and were having fun so my mom got mad because i got home at 12am. I dont know... i am so fed up with it....

    It hard as a parent to let go. but i think you need to move on. and make sure sibling dont follow you. i have a daughter that will be starting college in the fall. we have made the decision to have her live in the dorm instead of home. she is close enough for us to help if needed but far enough away for her to understand how it is to be on her own. with your understanding of work , paying bills, taking care of yourself, you will be fine.

    I AM 20 and have moved out with my fiance, but my dad still calls everyday and sees me every few days
    I think some parents just find it hard to let go
    But i hope everything works out

    I tell my mom that if I move out that doesnt mean I wont ever see them... I will always visit them and I will always be there for them... but they just dont get it.... I know that if i move out i will be there visiting them almost everyday because I know I will miss them... alot!! I just need my shot to be independent....

    Dunno bout movin out, I wouldn't I'm so afraid of hurting someones feelings, I sugest you talk with your parents about it before you think of moving out... after that well it's all up to you.

    Man!...you're 20...ask them to grow up...it's hi-time you move out and straight away tell them you can live independently...they maybe concerned for you but such sort of attitude from your parents side would just create frustration...this is like they would tell you they care about you even if you are 30 to 35 years old(married having a family of your own) and try to keep you glued to your parents...It just makes no sense..
