Ok so I'm writing this to ask whether some of you live with your parents but don't eat their food to avoid "see finish". You know how some parents mentality is they feel because they feed you they will disrespecting you and talking to you anyhow and sending you errands meant for 12 year olds.

I feel if I start from not eating their food and be getting my own food the disrespect will reduce until I finally leave them for good. What do you think? anyone has experience? BTW I'm 24

I left my parents house and started staying on my own at age 21, the truth is, you should start making plans to leave as soon as possible, as far as u are under their roof, you will be sent to run errands and other house runs, they are your parents an they still see u as their little baby, if you like be 100 years and still with them, the status quo no go change unless u change it by leaving

Some home there isnt even food to eat sef sad. The father drops 200 naira before leaving and the mother shares it 50 naira each to the children case close. . .poverty is real!

Damn to bad... But who's to be blamed for such wretchedness? The man of cause aye.

Whether he's rich or she's poor, your child is still your child. No matter the age Gap between you and your child.
If they cook, I eat. If they don't, I don't ask.

As a man, the best thing is leaving them to be on your own. once u are matured and you have a source of income, leave them. leaving them does not mean you do not love them, you can show them love by sending them money, paying some bills etc.....

After my service year, i moved down to Abuja to stay with my aunt and her husband. Initially, I had no intention to stay with them beyond a month but she fell ill, and she needed someone to attend to her business. So after much persuasion from my mom, I decided to stay back and help her take care of her business. Note, they don't have a child yet. To cut the long story short, they made arrangement to bring a cousin of mine from the village to help out with the business. Meanwhile, she sometimes talks to me and my cousin rudely, even in the presence of her customers but me mah i go just maintain when she begin her ranting. One day, i decided not to eat the food she cooked for that day, because i was tired of eating the same food everyday. So I took a flask went out to buy food from a restaurant, o boy come see talk. She said and i quote " so because I trusted you with my shop, and because I'm not always around to look after the shop, that why you have the guts to take money from there to buy food". Omo as she talk that 1 i no even wait make she land before i change am for her sharp sharp. I showed her my account balance make she no feel like say because i dey sit down everyday for her shop say I no get money on my own. From that day i stopped eating in the house, na from there she start to give me chance o.

Lol this one touch me. Planning on moving out this year.
Though my parents are super cool but the see-finish factor cannot be denied.
I've always avoided staying alone cos living with my parents help mitigate some sexually disastrous risks.lol

Like someone said, as long as you're earning a living, try to find one or 2 bills you help with. That helps command some level of respect. If you can though, try to move out. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.

As for me I left my dad's house immediately I clocked 19.The man sef wasn't giving me space when I was staying in the family house; if babe come greet me for house na family meeting him go call for my head grin grin grin If I go out anything pass 8pm to buy recharge card na wahala. grin grin grin grin

Hello.. Actually, you are not the first guy I would heard this from.

I'am 21 still living with my parents and also eats their food. However, your parents are not mine as a character can never be the same.. But what could make me not to eat from my parents. In fact, I will always do till we parted way. Of course, if I don't see the happiest feeling of me eating with them in their eyes, I would definitely feels it in my faithful heart because I know they'll definitely feels happy by me eating with them.

Your reason is just a junk excuse, bro.
To cut to the chase.. I will love you to understand me more.

If you don’t have any means of income or a job sustaining you financially you shouldn’t be thinking of see finish in your parents house. A good parent would understand the stage of life their child is. So you better eat that food, run that errand and keep working for yourself till you get to the stage that you can stand on your own. Don’t let social media deceive you and don’t be pressurized cause your mates are already living on their own.

No food for Lazy Man.... But if you work and contribute to the table, see finish no go enter as a matter of fact, your parents will give a standing order for your food to be presented as you return from work.
Re: Can You Live In Your Parents House And Not Eat Their Food? by Dagenius53: 9:02pm On Jan 02, 2021
With my own experience, I think the best you can do is to eat once in a while and never beg or ask them for money, when you don't beg for anything they will give you the respect you deserve and that doesn't mean they won't give you those things themselves when they feel is right for them to give you.


My parents are awesome!!!

That would be rude. Instead, man up and buy food stuff, provisions and toiletries when you can. They would respect you and you would keep your mental health in check because nobody can mentally frustrate you worse than your parents.
you are correct,but you may not have to buy when they expect you to buy,that may trigger another bout of argument if not checked.
If you don't eat their food,it is another sign of disloyalty
Re: Can You Live In Your Parents House And Not Eat Their Food? by mrksquare: 9:05pm On Jan 02, 2021
To be candid is not possible. I live in one of the two bedroom flats in my dad's compound. I cook on my own. For the past 7years I started cooking on my own. But there are occasions my mum freely gives me food. Like during festive period, she always ensures that she send food across to me. Then some time, she shows concern by inquiry from me if I have eaten.

I can take care of myself though I'm stil a student but each time I refuse to come back to the family house after Anthe close of the semester mumsy no go agree me rest, it all depends though the kind of parents most people have....you see that motherly or fatherly love it is very exceptional. we might have arguments, say alot of things but it won't stil make me not to accept the fact that they are my parents.

just contribute with ur little Quater to the family's growth and all will be well.

I stay with my parents and I don't eat their food and also pay the nepa bill and other miscellaneous bills when it arise..
I don't see it as a big deal but making them know I'm matured enough to take of my self without them.. All am planning for now is my own apartment...

Nice One. Make sure you take your time, save very well and do your due diligence before attempting to part ways with them. This Is exactly how I lived with my parents too before moving out. I started taking care of myself "Financially, Feeding, Academically, Clothing, Bills" at the age of 13years under their roof. I don't know where you reside because "House Rent" Is not smiling here In Lagos......

I'm guessing the kind of "12 year old errands" they're sending you is to go and grind pepper, or do similar stuffs.


If you start preparing your own meal, won't you do them for yourself?

If you move out of the apartment, won't you still do them for yourself?

Also, if you can't run the "12 year old" errands, who will run them? Your Mum or Dad?

Well, eating your own food won't stop them from sending you "12 year old" errands. If you don't want to run errands for them again, then move out.

Speak for yourself please. I personally experienced this stuff under my parents roof. Always speak for yourself alone and what you know about yourself. You never Jam Sadistic and Evil Parents. Things are happening. I've been doing everything myself for the past 17years....
PS:I notice this kinda stuff usually happen In a large family and Women who birth too many children. Always give thanks to God If you are lucky enough to have a "Loving, Caring, Financially Buoyant Parents" In Nigeria. A lot of Youths had It very rough and tough during their youthful days.....

If you can feed yourself then do well to rent an apartment. As my child I'll only stop sending you on errands if you are feeding the entire household. Feeding only yourself in my house will attract more disgusting errands especially when your friends are around and you are forming one big boy paranoiyingly. Go rent house before feeding yourself else one day I'll send your sisters to capture the noodles you are making for your babe, na so fight go take start.
