Moving out of your parents house.

[Bielsa]

I've noticed a significantly high number of our Somali youths move out and get their own place when they turn 21. I've even seen many of our Somali girls do it. 3 of my female cousins who are between 22-24 live on their own and take care of themselves without relying mummy and daddy.

Compare that to our Muslim counterpart (Pakistanis, Indians, Arabs etc) they keep their daughters home til they get married, and then they move from their parents house to their husbands house.

What do you guys think about this? Keeping them sheltered is a bad idea so I like that they are becoming self sufficient and seeing the harsh realities of the world. That's how I grew as a person. Obviously you need to install good values in them so they don't engage in shitty behaviour.

Young somalis should save their money. Most somalis live in urban areas with high cost of living especially rent. But I can understand if you have 6 brothers and sisters and you need space.

I don't really see the point of it unless it was for work-related reasons. Why not save that money instead?

I moved out because I was going to uni in another city. I don't see the point of moving out of your parents house when you live in the same city as them.

Amun,

Did any of your siblings move out as well?

A couple who are older than me did. But some stayed with parents for a couple of years into adulthood.

Amun,

I'm assuming you're a male so it's different for you. I think Somali parents take it harder when their daughter moves out, but I can't imagine telling my mum I was leaving home because I needed more privacy. Privacy to do what?lol

Most skinnies live with their family unless they're away for education purpose or they get married.

Another thing why not so many skinnies move out is because we look after our parents unlike gaalos. Especially the Farax's cause at the end of the day hoyo is going to rely on her son.

I moved out at 18 and slept in my car while on a 3 month work placement. srs

If you aint getting married, or have to move out due to work or school. Why bother? That would be a waste of money (unless you have 10 sibilings)

Plus We aint galoos who ditch our parents & never call them or look out for them. Most Somalis i know who are educated/work still live home and take care of their odayaals even when they are married they ask their parents or grandparents to move in with them so they can supervise them and take care of them.

Cadaans move out and dump their parents in old folks homes. You dont know how many Cadaan odayaals i see constantly who are neglected and lonely their kids dont call them or see them.

They are bastaarads walahi.

I moved out when I was young, I could not stand my step father. I rented a one bedroom flat with my older cousin
but even then I realized having your own place was vastly overrated. Yes, you enjoy some freedoms but they are
nothing compared to the responsibilities, paying rent in London is no joke, one bedroom flat for nearly 1k which is
absurd. My cousin would bring Somali girls into the flat for shisha, and what made it worse was we lived next to
several Somali families,they would see these young girls leaving our place at 4am.

I learned how to cook and bake, the only good thing about living on your own.

Hate that stupid cadaan culture where they abandon their parents. Most eastern cultures don't have that shitty dhaqan.

But if you're in your 20s then our parents are still able to look after themselves. 50-60 year olds are not fragile enough where they need care 24/7.

I still think moving out in your 20s can actually help people mature and grow as people, and learn how to be self reliant rather than depending on one's parents.
