Living with Parents

I've not lived with my parents for more than a month at a time since the age of eight. My mother no longer has a permanent base, and I have no clue where my father is, so I doubt I'll ever be living with them again.

I've lived at school nigh-on full time for ten years, and can't really imagine a different lifestyle, despite my situation not exactly being perfect. Life will be a shit ton more fun once I'm doing my own thing this time next year.

I don't have a 'cutoff age' at which I start to think something's amiss, but when I see someone who's finished school still living with their parents, my instinctive reaction is "...why" - I know, it's kind of prejudiced, and most of the time I won't know most of the details, but from my perspective, if they have the option of leaving their parents' home, it just seems... Somehow wrong. For lack of a better word (not trying to use it in a pejorative sense here; please take it literally) it seems retarded.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
