I dont want to move out.?

Question

Im 17 years of age. I live with my parents and I do not want to move out. Im a really good kid, I have plans for the future. After I grad I want to become a Cop. (I live in Canada) im just not sure if my parents expect me to move out after I as soon as I graduate. I know alot of my friends still live at home some of them are up to like 20 years of age. Im just not sure if most parents expect there kids to move out right away or what. This had not occured to me untill about a month ago and now im semi freaking out. Because I really do not feel ready to move out yet. Although I still have a hole year left in school. Its still a scary thought

I know I do no sound like most people my age lol. But I really dont want to move out. Im not really into partying/drinking etc. I dont cause trouble I dont see why my parents would want me out they have not even given me a hint they do. Im just sorta freaking out my self

Ifany parents could post what they think or anything maby calm my nerves Thank

Thanks for all the fast responses. I dont know why but I am REALLY stressing over this.

The thing is my step-dad I think he might want me gone. Hes lived with me since I was like 11 and my mom says he likes me alot. But we dont have a close relationship we dont even really talk. But sometimes I get the feeling he wants me out alot.

My mom on the other hand I know she would let me live with her forever lol. But a few times when we are talking about different stuff she says "You will only be with us for a little bit longer, we will be toghter forever." And I dont know Obviosly that is true. But it makes me feel bad.

Also I spend alot of time on the computer so I think they think im wasting my life or somthing so they want to boot me out. Although they have never said this I might just be making this up in my head. Im just really worried.

My mom also told me once i could live with them as long as I wanted as long as I 1) went to school

or 2) paid 300$ a month rent lmao.. Which isnt that much considering Im pretty useless and she does EVERYTHING for me. And I love her for that #1 mom in the world (yes I do tell her that)

@Robere comment. Thanks for the comment maby I should of added more.

I do have a part time job. Very good part time job on weeknds. Working a a lumber mill. I make alot more money than my friends. Got in cause my grandpa is the manager.

I have looked into the RCMP (Royal Canadian Police Force) I have been to the recruiting information presnetation with my mom. I found out all the information. You need to 19 to apply for the RCMP and 18 to be able to get into anything Volenteer with the RCMP. So im not there yet. But I do have planns and goals.

That was not really my question. It was do you think my parents will make me move out when im 18?

Also note I own like half of everything in the house. I have been working at the MIll for 2 years. I have bought our Computer, TV, Bedroom suite, Buying new couch soon. I basicly own alot of stuff my family uses. Which I will take with me when I move out. (I dont blow my money on crap like more my age, I spend on stuff for later) :)

Answer 1

know parents wants there child to live home.i know i didnt.but any ways,your parents love very much and only want the best for you.and if you,ve got planes for your self your parents will stand behind you all the way.good luck.

Answer 2

OK..here's a plan for you. Really consentrate on studying very hard this last year so you can come up with your best grades ever. Start (today) to set goals for yourself. I know you want to still be living with your parents, but aside from that, where do YOU want to be? Then six months after that...then a year later...then two, then five years from now. If you don't know where you're going, how will you ever get there. If your ambition is to be a policeman, then start right now making plans to do so. Find out what the qualifications are and work to meet and excell in those qualifications.
Find a part time job and save every posible cent you can. Decide if there is a type of school to attend after you graduate that can help you acheive your goals. You don't have to put all your eggs in one basket and only shoot for being a cop.
In other words, start preparing yourself NOW. Begin now to impress mom and dad that you want to help yourself. Anyway you look at it manhood is rapidly approaching and you need to be ready! After you have really taken the time to set goals and have positive plans I would intertain the idea of sharing them with your parents. Let them know of your seriousness and that you don't plan to mooch off them for as long as they let you. Let them know that you would like to remain at home for a specified length of time after graduation and even offer to pay for your keep.
This will ensure them That you are thinking like a "man" and are willing to step up to your responsibilities.

If you do have to leave soon after graduating at least you will be somewhat prepaired.

Answer 3

You need to find a good time to talk to your mom and dad about it. Since it is obviously stressing you out, at least having it out in the open will put your mind at ease. They may want you out, but they may not care. Some parents want their kids to stay home forever, others practically boot their kids to the curb. I imagine your parents are somewhere in the middle. Talk to them.

Answer 4

Why would you think that? Have they ever said they want you gone at 18? I would be shocked if they did want you out. It's pretty rare, you would either have to be a MAJOR problem causer, or they would need to be really crappy parents.
Don't Worry doesn't sound like either of those apply to you!

Answer 5

When the time comes....talk it over with them.
Get a job, help contribute to family bills, help with household responsibilities, etc. No parent would boot their child out in the street...they care about their children's future!

Answer 6

I have a 19 year old. She is still living at home. Most parents don't kick their kids out, especially if they are going to school. Heck my brother lived at home till he was 35. (That is going way too far!)

Answer 7

What makes you think they want you to leave????
