[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]just talked about this with my 10 yo. we expect her to move out when she gets married. i don't see the point of moving out if you are not starting a family.

You don't see a point in learning independence and how to manage on your own ( with roommates perhaps?  That's sad![/quote]
Np. yea, I do think there is value in living on your own before you get married. My mom got married pretty young (22...although I guess that wasn't THAT young in the 70s) and went from living with her parents straight to living with her husband-my dad. Well when they got divorced, she said one of the absolute hardest things about it was living on her own for the first time in her life. [/quote]

So? If she had done it before marriage, it would have been hard then, too. Some people NEVER live alone. Most have roommates in between leaving home and getting married.[/quote]

exactly. why do it if you don't have to?

my sister, who is in her 60s, never lived alone. she is an MD Phd and extremely successful in every way, now has grandkids. she lived at our home and we actually shared a room while she was doing a residency and dating. she married at 30 and only then moved out to live with her husband. [/quote]
