What are some pros and cons of staying away from home?

We are staying away from our homes, there are so many pros and
cons . I am a student and I am also staying away from my home so I
am writing what are the pros and cons for the student .

When it comes to expenses , so we become thrifty because we have


limited amount of money which parents send us every month so we
have to manage where we have to spend and where we have not to .

You get to live your own way. This is an advantage especially if you
and your parents have quiet different lifestyles and outlook on life.

Some of the disadvantages are :


1. We are fail to keep ourselves physically fit . We don't care of our
diet .
2 . We have to do all works by ourselves like cooking food , washing
clothes , also do dusting etc. at that time we get to know that how
many works our mother do and never get credit for those efforts .
3 . When we are ill everyone take care of us and do everything as
possible as they can but staying outside only a roommate with us and
we have to take care ourselves .
1. Home Food: The first thing that you miss once you move out of
your parents house is the home food. 90% won't cook our food
after we move into our house either because we're too lazy or
time is not in our favor. Fridge is never empty and food is free
flowing.
2. No living expenses: This is a bonus. Your parents are not going
to ask to pay rent for living with them. So could be the case with
telephone/internet/electricity bills. Of course the ones in working
class 20s will contribute to the expenses but you still save.
3. No house chores: You could easily run away from doing any of
the chores at home and be rest assured that they will be taken
care of. Not so much the case when you're on your own. You
will never know how much a kilo of tomatoes or how much your
maid is paid.
4. Privileges: Free pick and drop guaranteed if you're stuck
anywhere. No currency on cell-phone? Land-line phones always
to rescue. Lost something in the house? There is nothing mom
can't find.

Disadvantages:

1. Lack of independence & responsibility: There is nothing like


picking up responsibilities at a younger age. This of course is
less likely to happen unless you get out of the cocoon and learn
things the hard way! Whether it is managing living expenses or
your day-to-day chores or balancing study/work and home. You
realize the financial pinch and learn why parents always stressed
so much on saving money.
2. No privacy: There could be several exceptions where parents are
super cool and your privacy is not hindered. But let's admit it, in
most cases, you have to say good-bye to it when you're with your
parents. House parties or blasting loud music is never the same
with parents.
3. Timelines & Restrictions: Your nightlife ends at a time that
your parents decide. In certain cases your parents decide who
you can be friends with. Most of your travel plans will need
approvals or need to be faked as study tours. You cannot watch
your favorite TV shows either because your parents think that
western culture is affecting your life.
4. Dependency: You will never learn to be self-dependent as long
as you have your parents around you. Only when you're on your
own you realize how dependent you're on them for the tiniest
things. Learning this at a younger age specially in 20s is the most
crucial thing.
