Living alone X living with parents

by João Luis Filho

The reason why I chose to develop this subject is that I am living alone.
In both situations I analyzed that I ask for money and also, I always have support from my parents. But there are for and against points to be considered in both of them.
First, I believe that when we, young people, live at the parents’ house, we did not worry about cooking. On the other hand, I realized if I do not want to get sick I need to cook. And that is another point.
At home, I had the parents to take care of me in whatever situation, be it sickness or something else. Once I am living alone, I have to take care of myself.
One last thing to be considered is that when I lived at my parents’ house, I had to respect their wishes and it was not just a question of honor but an obligation.
Now that I am far from my parents’ eyes, I have a kind of freedom which is different from that one I had at home. I am free to do whatever I want.
In conclusion, there are things we learn by ourselves when we are living alone but also, we know that there is no place like our home –the place where we grew up.
