• no offense... but white people confuse me.

  you all spend so much time trying to toss those kids out of the house.

   you know what? i never moved. sure i left at 18 and moved into an apartment but, i eventually came back, bought my family's home, and then added an inlaw addition on it for my parents.

   because they are my family... and why would i want to be away from them?

   

   our culture is different from what is common in the u.s.

  we are portuguese and cicillian. it is unacceptable to our elderly into "homes" unless their medical needs CAN NOT be met within reason at home...i.e. alzheimer's disease.

  so, their inlaw addition was built to accomodate their needs as they age.

  mind you.. my parents are only 60 and  both working proffesionals...they don't need to live with me at all.. or vice versa.

  but when the time comes that they need help? i don't want to be traveling 30 minutes, an hour one way just to make sure my elderly parents haven't gotten hurt or are in need.

  we have three generations on this property... it's nice.

  old school.. the way i like it.

• 3 months after I turned 17 ....

  On my wedding day I moved out of my mom's house for good. I did stay with her for a bout a month while I was preg with 2nd and hubby was on the road driving truck while i got us a new house.
  

  
  

  I am Tygermommanikki. A 27 year old happily married woman. I have two beautiful special needs sons and one baby watching me from heaven. I am not one who can summarize my parenting style or myself in a paragraph so if you really wanna know me introduce yourself and we will see where it goes. And if you don't the "paragraph siggy's" why again are you reading this?

• I moved out when I was 17.  But it was my choice.  I had no career opportunities seeing I was living in a country town.  My Mother couldn't help seeing we were all pretty much living on the poverty line.  So I moved to the city by myself, got myself trained for the workforce, found a job and stayed there.

  When I was 21 and financially stable, I then took my whole family in.  I moved them from that shitty town and helped them till they could get back on their feet.  So, in some ways my Mum was living with me.  Not the other way around :P

  I continued to rent the house that we all lived in together.  But I also did housesitting for people for months at a time (usually upto 6 months for each house).  It gave me free accommodation.  All I had to do was pay for food and utilities.  This was how I got myself back out of the rental I provided my Mum. 

  By the time I was 25, I then left again permanently after saving from my housesitting jobs.  Now, my Mother, Brother and Sister were financially stable to take care of themselves.
