My mom is calling me selfish for wanting to move out and live on my own

[Fiorenza]

Terrible advice. Her mum need to talk to her husband and figure something out

He husband clearly doesn’t care that’s why she needs to step up as the oldest

 

[Fiorenza]

By default that's sound advice, but we don't know her situation. Maybe her family is treating her like she's still a child, Somali parents are notorious for that.

You guys are so liberal or am I too traditional

You guys are so liberal

I'm more of a centrist.

Liberal is about asking your uni grad daughter to live in a ceyr home and then take the responsibility of buying a home off the father and putting it on the eldest daughter.
What’s traditional is a dad taking his responsibility and if he can’t, not wont, CAN’T you can ask the eldest SON

My parents couldnt wait for us to move out. (Always going "aroy nin 20jir oo waalidkiis la nool waligeen ma arag. Igaarkey sharaf isku yeel ee xaas raadso") They already kicked my older siblings out(strongly encouraged moving out/marriage after they graduated) and I study in a different country so only the two youngest are living with them.

Living alone is kinda depressing. I think alot of young Somalis will regret it once theyve moved out. I didnt realise how close I was with my family untill I moved out. I dont know about buying house but if you could live with them until you find a spouse I strongly recommend it.

Somali parents just want the kids to stay home until they get married. Why?
