Re: Want to move out
You are comparing 2 different worlds that’s why that thinking doesn’t apply. Here we are talking about moving out of the parent’s once you feel like you are financially secure enough to gain freedom and do what you want. The scenario you describe is that of a man leaving not only his parents, but also his wife, kids, and country so that those he’s leaving behind wont starve to death…see the difference=moving out because i want freedom and now i can afford to vs moving out because I don’t want my family to starve to death slight difference I would say. My father moved out and lived by himself for 25 years and did all his own cooking and cleaning and he didn’t do it to gain freedom, he did it so 1. His father can retire and start working his butt off and stay home 2. So we wouldn’t starve. Paheeli I doubt the relatives you refer to lived on their own seeking autonomy.
I’m actually referring to the multiple generations of bachelors who have come to the UK/US/etc to obtain degrees or jobs and eventually make a new life for themselves. And I don’t know a single one with a starving family at home.
