Anyone in their 30s?

Post Reply New Topic

Any ladies in their 30s that still live with their parents? Just wondering. I was also wondering if you do travel a lot with your parents. I'm an only child and still live at home. I do work full time, have my own car, and did finish college. I do sometimes go on travel. I love airplanes. I know some are afraid of airplanes. I don't like the crowds though and the security lines can be brutal. The screaming kids on the occasional airlines. My dad has airline miles so we try and get first class and go through the priority line which is a lot better. Do any of you travel a lot either with parents? Siblings? Alone? Friends? I would love to see all 50 states and go to at least one major tourist attraction per state and collect fridge magnets, t shirts, etc.

I'm in my early 30s and I still live at home. My younger sister, on the other hand, does not. She lives and works out of state. But she does come home sometimes to visit; in fact, she is coming home for Christmas soon! She also came home for my college graduation and for summer vacation. When she comes home for the summer, we travel together as a family, mostly to tropical places. This year, we went to Punta Cana (we'd been a few years ago, and decided to go back). My family and I travel a lot. We've practically travelled all over the world. I don't mind going on vacation, but I hate planes. The cabin pressure makes my ears close up, and I have to chew gum, take motion sickness pills, and take antihistimines. I also can't eat spicy foods because of my acid reflux and hiatal (spelling?) hernia, when we travel to tropical countries. Otherwise, I have a good time.

I´m in my forties. Just turned 45 yesterday.

yes, i do...for both questions.

I'm not in my 30s. But I do live with my parents right now and I know everyones relationship with there parents is different but to me living with parents is so restricting in freedom and independence. I dont know how people can do it into there 30s even 40s. As for traveling with my parents, even worse, I dont want the obligation to be around them 24/7. Im 23 now, hoping to eventually move out within a year, year and half from now.

I'm 33, temporarily living with my in-laws. It's nice but I hate it.

I was 18 when I moved out of my dad's place. It wasn't a choice. It was what I was expected to do. It was, I think, a mistake.

You never know what you haven't tried, but I think moving out, getting married, and moving out of state (way out of state) was a bigger mistake than staying at home into my 20s or even my 30s would have been.

I don't like always having someone in authority over me, never being able to make my own rules or have my own space or discipline my children in my own way (my in-laws are much more restrictive, judgmental, and harsh). On the other hand, it's probably good for the kids. Being AS, I tend to be very tolerant of their idiosyncrasies and foibles (as I wish I could get some tolerance for my own). The outside world will not show them that tolerance; it is probably better to be spanked and temporarily ostracized for whining, talking out of turn, asking foolish questions, attempting to explain yourself, and being mildly annoying at 4 years of age than to be utterly rejected for it at 14.

A little bitter, perhaps??

I travel A LOT. Alone, with my kids, with my spouse-- I LOVE to travel. On foot or by car. I will only get on an airplane alone or with another adult, and then only if necessary. I will not under any circumstances take small children on an airplane without a great deal of help. I hate them (airplanes, not small children). I hate the restrictiveness of the environment, the stress level in airports, the crowdedness of planes, the lack of control, and I think most of all the knowledge that any annoyance or mildly inappropriate behavior may be interpreted as a terrorist threat.

I am 33 and live with my son. but I lived with them for a couple of years up until a few months ago. Before that I lived alone and before that with my ex partners.


I only travelled once with my parents. I prefer to travel with just me and my son.

I'm 52. I got married, had four kids, homeschooled them, got divorced, finished raising the kids but couldn't homeschool any more. I had a hard time working for an employer so I started my own business, failed, started another. My father moved in with me because he can't take care of himself.

I didn't know I was an aspie until I was 50. I'd never even heard of it before.

I'm 36 and live with my mother. I don't really find it restricting. I don't do things like date or drink or have company over or stay out all night so I don't really feel restricted at all.

I expect to live with my mother for the rest of my life. I don't think she minds. If I moved out she would be alone.

I'm 37 and own a home with my partner, but if I hadn't met her when I was 20 and been living with her since I was 21, I probably would have been living with my parents this whole time. My partner is NT, except for being bipolar type 2, and she taught me all my life skills. I owe her sooo much! We took a trip with my parents once and everyone had a great time. I wish we could do it again but now none of us can afford it.

I am 31 and have been living away from home for 11 years. I moved out when I was 20. I am independent and have lived with flatmates and by myself and I am now living alone with my cat.
When I travel I usually travel alone. My parents aren't big on travelling. It is good to get out and go somewhere totally different and have been away twice this year.
I am close to my parents and my two brothers and my sister but I don't live close to them and they live 3 hours away from me but I do visit them when I can.

I live with my mom, but I am the caretaker...I am 35. Sometimes we travel and I enjoy traveling. Ever since the TSA porno boxes and state sponsored sexual abuse at air ports, I have not flown. Road trips are more fun anyway.

Jojo

I am 30 and haven't lived with my parents for 3 years. I lived with them until I was 24 and moved to Florida, then moved back in with them when I came back, 26.Moved out when my brother was moving back in temporarily while setting up his business, because him and I just don't get along in closed spaces. Now live with my fiancé and 2 kids but if our finances don't get better I can envision having to move back in with my parents.
I love traveling but lack the funds to do so. Miss it.

No, I have a bad relationship with mine. That would be nice, traveling with your Dad or both, or with siblings for anyone who has them.

I'm in my mid thirties, and live with my husband and two children. I've been independent since 18, and was a single mom for seven years. I have a distant relationship with my family, but we do not get along under the same roof.
I've always loved traveling, but it's so darn expensive that I don't do too much of it anymore. I used to take road trips on my own when I was younger, but I don't think I would wander too far anymore without my husband in tow. If I won the lottery, I could definitely see a guided world tour...

Yes. And I'm also an only child.


No. I've only travelled twice in my adult life, once with my mother, once alone. My mother has also travelled twice in the same time, once with me (duh) and once alone. My father has done a little travelling, always alone because he only wants to go to his small home town in northern Norway, which neither my mother or I have any wish to go. Twice as a tween was enough!


Unemployed, don't even have a licence despite liking cars (but I should add that public transport is rather well developed here), and never got as far as college


Me too! I love looking at planes, love flyovers, love flying


I hate crowds too and the security on JFK must be among the most sour and rude I have ever encountered. they could do well to learn from other airports here in Europe.


Gad yes! dreadful wherever they are really. I wish there silent zones on all trains, planes, buses, preferably shops too.
