Millions of young adults around the world have to live with their parents because they are jobless. Since the financial crisis started in Spain, in 2008, thousands of people have left the country and others have been forced to live in their parents’ house.
On the one hand, living with your parents can be a positive and comfortable option. For instance, you don’t have to pay bills or rent, you don’t have to cook or do domestic work. What’s more, you can spend a lot of time with your parents and family, in general. Family support and company is always important.
On the other hand, there are some disadvantages, too. For example, most people live in small apartments, so there isn’t so much personal space. You can say goodbye to your privacy and the concept of having your own space! Besides, you have to obey the house rules always if you don’t want to live in a continuous disagreement with your parents. Moreover, you can forget about calling your friends over or hosting parties.
To sum up, living with your parents being a young adult can have both advantages and disadvantages. Living with your parents and living by yourself is like living in two different planets. I think it’s important to find a good job once we finish studying in order to become responsible people, socialize, face the real world and be independent.
