I was nearly 35 when i left home

I was 19 when I left to get married................stupid me! Marie

I was 18 and a couple of months and got a place at uni in Wales. I popped home for the odd week while at uni and for about 3 months afterwards while looking for a permanent job, but never again felt comfortable living there. I moved out permanently as soon as I could - if I hadn't I don't think my parents and me would have been on speaking terms much longer!!!! Its not about falling out, just growing out of your place in the family home and needing to make your own space. Angela

I was just 17 when i left home . Not that i had much choice as my mam died and my father had not been around since i was 3 so moved down to Yorkshire to live with my sister . Cath

I can't wait till I can 'fly the nest'(as soon as possible!). I don't quite like living with my parents. They are cramping my style. lol

The day before I was18 I got married. But I still have 3 sons between 21 and 28 at home! A couple of them would go if they could afford it, but all their money goes on important things like going out etc!

left the home i was born in to go and live with my now hubby 1983 i was 23 felt excited as we hav a lovley little first home but felt guilty for leavin my mum on her own we lost dad 3 yrs before

20, when OH dragged me off to his cave!

Tar Deb.

left at 18 to move in my first house with my boyfriend of two years, married him a year later in 1988 and we are still together with kids age 11 and 14. When I left I said bye to Dad and he just said 'ok' - 3 hours later he asked Mum why I hadn't I come back from the hairdresser's!!!! Joanne

I left at 17 when parents moved a fair distance away and I couldn't see the point of going with them. They moved back a year later, didn't like where they went to!! I went back for a year until I got married. Wasn't the same. Dianex

Crikey - I was older than most who've added here and yet I seemed to be young at the time to be leaving home! Depressed Dan? Your parents sound so young and great fun - I'm surprised. How are you going to fund it - not cheap you know. Hope it all works out for you. Debby

At 16 had a live in Job as a chef in a collage in Oxfordshire

Joined the Army at 17 , only thing I regret is I spent so much time abroad I never got to tell my parents how much I loved and respected them before they died .

Not thinking, I am going to sooner than later. When I'm away I am better in myself. Being here is just making me depressed if you want an honest answer.

Why Dan?? You thinking of flying?

tipped out aged 15! Managed with determination and a lot of luck. missed out on a normal family life early on but am really happy with my life now. Youngest two, 18 and 25, still living at home, I will be quite happy for them to leave when they are ready.
