How do i convice my parents to let me move out?

Im 22 and on the last year of my degree. I have a good paying job lined up for next year and plans to move in with my best friend but my parents dont wanna hear about it.

What can I do?

Answer 2

your 22 u dont have to ask them just do it

Answer 3

Just pack your bags go into the room there in give them a kiss and a hug and tell them and then go

Answer 4

Obviously you could just move out, but ta ht would strain the relationship with your parents, and who needs that. Therefore you need to reason with them. Explain to them that at this stage of life if you are still at home living with your parents, then it will prevent you from being perceived at work as an independent responsible person. This could cost you in the future. If you explain that it will help your career, then I'm sure you will get what you want

Answer 5

You don't need their permission. By law you can do that. All you have to do is find a place. Pack up your stuff and tell your parents "I'm moving on_________." They can't hold YOU against you will. What are they going to do tie you up in the closet, send you to your room? I believe that would be illegal. Anyway so just do it. They'll be mad at you, and probably cry but they'll get over it. Once you move come visit so they know you don't want to erase them from your life you just want your own space like any normal adult. Don't be afraid to hurt them--unless you want them to control your life forever. Good luck.

Answer 6

Sounds like the first adult decision you actually need to make on your own.  you don't need your parent's consent to move out and it sounds like you have thought things out and have made preparations to support yourself.  Until you are actually ready to move out, don't bring it up to your parents.

When the time comes and you are ready to actually move out, make the announcement and don't make it sound like you are asking permission.  Be firm about it.  "Mom and Dad, I am moving out on Saturday.  My new address is ______________ and you have my cell number if you need anything.  I would love some help with the move, but if you'd rather come by after I get settled in, that would be great, too."

Good luck!

What would they do?

Force you to stay home? That`s kidnapping - holding someone against their will.

You are 22, and you can decide to go your own way, make your own mistakes, get your own successes etc.
