Gembob91 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi I am new to this site and just wanted to ask a quick question. So I've just turned 19 and have been with my boyfriend for nearly 2 years. We both have brilliant jobs and work full time. We have been talking about moving in together for a bit now and 2 weeks ago finally decided to start looking for an apartment. Now we have an apartment and will be moving into it in about 2 weeks time. The problem though is that I cant find a way to tell my parents I am moving out. My mum is not the problem I think I could tell her and she would be disappointed and sad but still happy for me. Its my dad thats the problem. Because I'm the youngest he thinks I am still a baby and treats me like one too. He gets angry at the littlest thing. I'm just scared that if I tell him before we move in he might kick me out there and then. Any advice? Thank you, Gemma. Link to post Share on other sites
Cee Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I think the simplest thing do in terms of your Dad is to tell him after you have the apartment. You don't have to move in to the new place right when it's available. In 2 weeks, say you've found an apartment and you are moving out. You can stick around for an extra week or two at home or move out right away. I think that's the safest way to handle it. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Gembob91 Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 We have the apartment, signed for it and everything. Our move in date is on the 16th of this month. I just need to find a way to tell him. He's the type that doesn't listen to anything you have to say. I have a feeling he is either going to tell me I can't go or kick me out there and then.

Don't be too sensitive to his comments or what ever he says. He has reasons for doing so and as you pointed out it's because you're the baby of the family. He'll find it hard to let you go so what ever he says is the downstream reaction from his underlying sentiments. At least if you get kicked out, you've got a place to stay!
