At what age did you leave your family home

[Purple_Popple]

and for what reason (marriage, job, family feud etc) ?

[joeluke]

DT......Low Wood Hotel between Ambleside and Bowness, staff block was like a game of musical beds

McClures used to deliver daily there too

I sort of drifted in and out of home from about 15 and then went to prison, then got a place of my own on release before I got married to my first wife.

17 in and outdue to jobs but full-time moved out at 24 when I was married

[sophie_1003]

I will be 24/5 when I move out; haven't moved out yet because went to college then college again then to uni and was cheaper to live at home. Have a job that starts in January so will be in the position to move out of my mum's and dad's and in with my boyfriend!

I left when I was 23 - bought a little bedsit in town. My mum allowed me to live at home without board money being paid for a couple of years if I promised to leave home. I took the family dog with me - he was a big dog and it was a little bedsit. It was a good time.

That was 24/25 years ago and I am still single but now have two cats instead of a hound.

Know it well, now very smart, I understand, and popular with the marriage folk

[Kassee]

21 - when I got married (40 years ago) and we took out a mortgage - moved some miles away then too - only went back for visits about once every two weeks.

Then had four children and divorced at 42. My own children left home and moved back in with me over and over again. (they went to Uni, went travelling, moved in with partners and then broke up) Life is hard for kids now - difficult to get their own place. Still have my youngest son living with me, after he went off to Uni for three years and then came back, he's 24.

18 to live with my fiancé rented a beautiful house for £20 a month and married at 24

[Maydup]

19 - to live in a shared house with friends. We'd all virtually left home by then anyway and were staying at other people's houses or flats most of the time. We decided to club in together and rent somewhere properly. We were a mixed bunch, but we all had jobs and knew how to have a good time. We stuck together for a couple of years before we started to go our seperate ways.

For more you'd have to buy the book!
