Should I Be Ashamed That Im Under My Parents by dukeprince50: 11:04am On Aug 12, 2016
hello guys, I'll be 23 this month 30th, I'm a student and my parents train me in school, despite school fees and other related thing, I do not disturb them, they send me money whenever they want to send me, I have never ask them to send me, but they send me monthly though. just yesterday I overheard a girl who left her parents house at the age of 14yrs (cos she got pregnant and left her house), that I should be ashamed of myself I'm still under my parents. she should be around 27 now, even though shes not under her parents, she is not training her two kids from two different dads, her mother is training one while the mother to the father of the second one is training the second child. I wanted to reply her but I decided not to as it may cause problem in the house since her mom is a friend to my mom, my question is is it bad I'm still under them as a student of 23yrs?? should I confront her??

Honestly there are certain persons u need to ignore while living ur life.. . D fact that Mr A is doing something does not mean Mr B should do d same. Now take a look at d girl, she had two children out of wedlock N of different fathers is that d kind of person u want to make life comparison with? @ 23 u should be focused on ur study N stop been distracted by issues like this. By d way are u male or female?

She is just jealous that she had a tough life and you are having it easy. Nothing to be taken seriously, be grateful.

lolzzz... no. It's not bad that you are still in your parents house. Jesus is more than 2016 yearsold and he is still in his father's house. Don't let anyone put pressure on you jare.. Just pray for a good future where you can take good care of them in return.

Hahaha. Guy na wah for you o...
@OP: In this harsh economic weather, you should even be happy that you have people to take care of you. Enjoy it while it lasts, do well in school, get a nice job/business for yourself and then take good care of your parents in return. You don't owe anybody any explanation for your life.

You should be glad that you have two caring parents and enjoy it because there will be a time when you will have to take care of them.
Don't listen to this girl. She is just jealous. wink

No, don't mind her she's only jealous of you coz she had a rough life growing up and left her parents' house too early. Thumbs up to your parents, it's still their responsibility to pay your school fees and house you for now till you graduate but after that, the rest is up to you.

In this recession period, don't risk leaving home at all. I am 22 and I don't live at home anymore, now I wish I still have someone to worry about my upkeep and finance me. The Great Outdoors are not smiling ooo!

I'm sorry but I don't quite buy your version of events.

The average Nigerian is incredibly judgemental of those whose lives deviate from the "norm" whatever that is, and also find it difficult to mind their own business.

It's not your place to judge how she's lived her life. Unless you've lived with her day in and day out, you don't know what the true circumstances of her situation are. You judge her because she got pregnant at 14. Did she get herself pregnant on her own? How do you know she wasn't taken advantage of by someone older who ought to have known better? Was she sent to live as a maid / house girl to someone and was taken advantage of? Was she ràpèd? What sort of upbringing did she have as a child? Were her parents actively involved? Or not? Was she left to her devices at such a tender and impressionable age to fend for herself? The questions are endless...If any of the above are applicable, then you wonder why she indirectly lashed at you?

If you'd been keeping to yourself like you ought to have done in the first place, why would this lady decide to talk about you out of the blues, unprovoked?

Can you honestly, hand on heart say you didn't start this? Probably from some careless remark from you to someone about her, which she eventually got wind of?

You know the saying: "He who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones..."
