Most of us escape as soon as we reach the tender age of eighteen. Those of us who are less fortunate stay home throughout our college years and are manipulated into staying even longer under the pretense that we're needed. Don't fall for it. Get out while you can because there are 10 reasons why you can not live with your parent when you're 30.
- When you arrive home and go up to your room, you expect everything to be where you left it. Instead of the organized mess you left, you open your door to a clean room where nothing can be found. When questioned, everyone seems to have amnesia.
- Your mom finds it impertinent to go through the diary you'd stopped writing in when you were sixteen - demanding to know who “Dante” is.
- 6am you wake up to shower and find all of the personal hygiene items that were there last night are gone and strange new brands are pleasantly arranged on your shelf. Hmm, must be your imagination.
- Your dad insists on a routine inspection of your room to ensure you aren't doing or selling drugs.
- Your mother decides to give your boss a call after you come home with a headache insisting that he lighten your workload. It couldn't possibly be her making you sick.
- Every once in a while you find yourself with a boyfriend and you let him “sleepover”. He snores loudly when he sleeps and your mom hears him from across the hall. She knocks on your door reminding you that “your father does not allow men in your room.”
- As if you're 15 all over again, your dad interrogates every man that comes to pick you up for a date, telling him that you're a virgin and you had better still be one when he brings you home.
- A letter comes, clearly addressed to you but your mom thinks so long as her last name is on it, it's ok for her to open . She is shocked to find that it's a creative love letter  and demands to know if you're still a virgin.
- If you aren't home 30 minutes after you get off work, they call your phone every 15 minutes to see where you are because you couldn't possibly be out …enjoying yourself without them.
- On the off chance that you are happy, they assume you're drunk which means…you have to walk around the house looking depressed and majority of the time…you are.
So for your sake... get out while you can.
Run if you have to!
