I've just had enough of living at home, and just want to get out and start my own life away from the perants.
I've told my perants that i want to move out, but theyre like no you shouldnt do that for another couple of years yet. Basicly theyre making me feel like that i should never move out. I know theyre missing my sister being around since she moved out for good 2 years ago. I guess they don't want the same to happen to me just yet.
But the thing is i have just had enough of listening to them doing like they say. And living my there rules. I just need to start out on my own. I want to live on my own before settling in with anyone.

Read the OP again. I think some are misreading this. I read it that his parents are the ones that think he is not ready to be out on his own, won't be for a while, needs sheltering and structure. He is chafing at that, but his post is hardly an anti-parent rant. He wants out, it is his parents that want him to stay.
I don't think they fear an empty nest so much as they fear supersparks leaving to soon, the fledgling hopping out of the nest too soon.
I can't believe it. I'm sounding like some kind of social worker.
And what is an NVQ?
