Oh ok, I thought someone must've asked this question...........but Exactly!!! Take the first step and your parents can help. Don't expect the parents to take the first step and you'll just help them. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with living with the family, but in this particular situation where 7 people are already living in a 3 bedroom house, it's hard for a new person to adjust.
