When Does The Average Nigerian Woman Move Out Of Her Parents Home? by LittleLepa: 4:09am On Sep 19, 2013 |
I'm 25 (female), and living with my parents still. Is this normal for Nigerians? At what age does it begin to look bad if I am still living at home? Yes, I have gone to Uni, and yes I am working. I can afford my own place, but I am close with my family. Also, many friends of mine said that it will look bad somehow to men that may want to date me, if an unmarried woman is not living with her parents and she is below the age of 30. Please, what is your opinion? |

It doesn't matter what your friends or men think or what is "normal". Are you comfortable living at home? Do you have a desire to move out? If you're comfortable at home and your parents are comfortable with you staying, then stay. There's no shame in it at all, especially seeing that you've already finished school and you're working. 2 Likes |

Caring too much about what people think has proven to be detrimental in quite a few cases as well. People should consider themselves first. It doesn't mean be selfish, but a happy and healthy "you" is what gets someone by and allows them to do for others. 1 Like |

IMO! I think it is normal for a female to stay in her parent house till she gets married! Even if you are 50, you can still stay in your parents house, so far you are not married |

But do you think its possible to live without caring for what other people think of you? |

homesteady: But do you think its possible to live without caring for what other people think of you? Well, yeah. That's how I live. I can't please everyone. I've tried pleasing everyone and I suffered while they made their demands. Now I do what's best for me and do what I can for others when I can. They have to understand that I have my own life to live and I'll live it accordingly. The same goes for the OP. Let's say she wants to do one thing but her friends and family suggest or demand she does otherwise. She does what they say and she's unhappy. Her unhappiness affects her work and she can no longer afford the life people wished for her. Will those who demanded suffer with her? If her work is lagging, will her boss call her friends and family and scold them for making her make an unwise decision? No. It's better to be happy with her decision than unhappy with someone else's demand. When a person is set, all things around him or her fall into place and everyone benefits. Usually. 3 Likes |

homesteady: IMO! I think it is normal for a female to stay in her parent house till she gets married!It is very normal for a female to stay in her parent's house till she gets married as long as she is comfortable in the house. I did the same thing after my youth service but it got to a stage where my mum became a serious thorn in my flesh... I was no more comfortable in the home. At this point I made up my mind to rent an apartment of my own. I was in my late twenties as at them. It was at the point of renting this apartment that I met my husband. I told him my plans and he frowned at it. He said that I should endure whatever I was recieving from my mum as it will not last forever. It was not easy i must confesss... Thank God that the rest is history . 3 Likes |

There is nothing wrong in a lady moving out of d parents house dpends on d circumstance and d xter of d lady involved.for instance,I am in my late 20's I stay alone because I got a job in anoda state .My friend Staying with her parents was impregnated by her bf and is a single mother. My mom calls me everyday to know when I will be bringing a guy home for marriage,I wonder how the pressure will be If I were still @ home with her. So I think it depends also on the morality ,circumstance and how responsible the lady is. |

Its true, I don't buy the idea of a woman living alone even though she has everything but as long as she's still single, she still need to be under her parent roof. |

@ OP: No it isn't bad. What would have been bad is if you weren't earning income or making an effort to. I know men older than you who stay with their family for reasons you state. Some for financial reasons. Stay cool. 1 Like |

There's no age to leave your parents home. If they are cool with your being there, and you're comfy then by all means stay. What people say shouldn't count. 1 Like |
