Have you ever questioned what the best moment would be for you to leave your parents' home? You might have already received your diploma, or you might have always wished for independence and freedom.

However, you can't help but have the urge to live alone. But then, you have absolutely no reason to feel guilty or humiliated about living with your parents in the first place.

This is especially true if you pay the bills and assist with household tasks. Living with parents as an adult child is now considered typical.

One of the reasons is the economy, and we are unable to pay off our obligations because of rising home prices, loan payments, and student loan bills. You can pool your resources together and save a lot of money by residing with your parents.

The original poster of today's story is quite responsible; he has moved out of his parents' house three times and returned for different reasons. He did list them out, and he doesn't feel good about moving back in, but he has no choice.

One day, the OP was shoveling the driveway so it would be done before his parents woke up, only for their neighbor to come over and start a conversation. This neighbor very quickly mentions how the OP is too old to still be living with his parents, and the OP didn't hold back his comeback.

The OP writes

OP is 23 and for the third time, he has been forced to move back in with his parents

The OP decided to just walk away and continue shoveling after giving the neighbor a reply

The Reddit post went viral with over 17k upvotes with 2k comments

Well, the neighbor started it first

He just got a dose of plain talking

He doesn't get to avoid his own living situation

Redditor cinnamonteaparty says the neighbor is a hypocrite

Your neighbor reminds me of anti-choice people who are all "the only moral abortion is MY abortion". He obviously knew that you had a point and hit a nerve and showed how much of a hypocrite he is.

Also, in many asian countries, adult children living with their parents (and even grandparents) isn't seen as an anomaly in order to take care of the previous generations

This Redditor is happy OP's dad backed him up

The OP's living situation is none of the neighbor's business

This Redditor would certainly want to be left alone

This Redditor lists why OP's neighbor is the AH in the story

You see, being independent also brings a tremendous deal of happiness. However, there isn't really a great time for you to do move out.

You should start thinking about leaving your parents' home if you are emotionally and financially able to do so. Of course, the OP was declared not the AH and you too can drop your own verdict in the comments section below.
