I suppose part of it is relative. However, I think there needs to be a point where we 'grow up'. It would be different if there was someone close who I could just go stay with. However that is currently not the case. Also a lot of people move out, only to come back a few years later. I want to make a clean break. If I move out, I don't want to come crawling back asking for my room back. I don't have any siblings and often have a lot of alone time. Not always the best thing for someone who craves at least a little bit of attention from another.

I think the main issue is always independence. You need to have your own space for you to grow in. I feel like a lodger in my own house, but when my Mum sometimes says goodnight it makes me angry, because like you, I feel like a kid again.
Still...My sister just moved back home and she's 30 and now living in the 'box room' on a bunkbed  |
