A woman on TikTok is not putting up with haters who criticize her for living at home with her parents at 25 years old. Saby, who posts as @sabyhesri, received a comment from a user who called her out for not living alone, writing, “Girl, you’re 25 and you’re living at your parents’ house still.” Yeah, and?
- Saby decided to respond to the critic. While generally speaking, the best response to a hater is none at all, Saby couldn’t help herself — she had to explain herself. Instead of trying to make excuses or justify her decision, she held firm in her choice.
- What’s not to love about living with your parents? As Saby said in her video, she doesn’t have to pay rent while she’s under her parents’ roof, and her mom “cooks amazing food every day,” which are two pretty massive perks. Plus, she’s going to move out one day. “Like, I’ll never live with my parents again after I get married and move out. These are the only years I have, she said.”
- However, she does sometimes have second thoughts about being at home. While she’s ultimately grateful to be able to live with her parents, it’s not always easy. “Sometimes I’m like, ‘I really gotta go I’m getting old. I’m expiring at this house,'” she admitted. “And other times I’m like, ‘I’m just a chicken. I’m just a baby.'” However, she always comes back round when she realizes she’d be “so lonely and bored” since she’s not in a relationship and would literally “stare at the walls all day” if she lived on her own.
- Saby had plenty of supporters in the comments. Many pointed out that in their family, living with your parents is the norm. “I have 12 siblings, our ages range between 50 and 28, and we all live with my mother,” one person remarked. Another added, “What should I say? I’m 30 and still at my parents’.” Another simply pointed out that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be anyway, saying, “Girl, don’t listen to anyone. Living alone is overrated.”
- To be fair, living alone isn’t an option for many young people. We’re in a cost of living crisis here. Prices on pretty much everything are exponentially higher than they were even a year ago, and wages certainly haven’t increased to meet that demand. Many young people simply aren’t in a position to live solo at the moment, and if it’s a choice between overpaying to share a box apartment with a random roommate or staying in your childhood bedroom with people you know for now, the decision seems pretty simple to me!
