writes:Hi,I've just finished university and I'm now living at home again. But I'm a little worried about living under my parents roof after living the care-free life of a student. My dad works away during the week, my sister is starting university in September, so from then onwards it will just be me and my mum.We get on well most of the time, but we both have fierce tempers and sometimes we get on each others nerves very easily. I try my best to maintain the peace, but sometimes it's just impossible!As well fearing for my relationship with my parents, I also worry about my social life. I'm used to going out atleast twice a week, but now that I'm away from a party town I'll be lucky if I get out once a fortnight! I'm also worried about if I should meet a girl and start up a relationship. Having a girlfriend and university and spending the night in a house with no parents in it and the freedom to do almost anything has been replaced with a fear of becoming involved with someone who will rarely be able to stay at my house. Plus, I know I'm only 21, but after living away from home I worry it's going to feel pretty embarrassing to tell a woman I'm interested in that I live with my parents.Am I worrying about this transition too much? What advice can you give me?

If you want to move out so much, then don't waste time worrying, go find a good job, earn much money, rent/buy a decent house. Wish such status, you surely would impress any girl you're interested in.
