<\/p>\nIt\u2019s difficult to get that whole independent big boy phase going while you\u2019re still having your mom make your bed and do your laundry. While it\u2019s totally normal that most Lebanese men in their twenties (that haven\u2019t gotten hitched yet – and unfortunately some that have) still live with their parents, it isn\u2019t always a walk in the park. Here\u2019s what nine people have to go through while living at home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s not like people usually think. I\u2019m still an adult, which means I still have to take care of my own stuff around the house- except for chores. On the other hand, it’s like I\u2019m an average Joe who comes home after spending the day out and expects nothing from his parents. They usually ask about my day, expecting progress for a promising career. It’s about the effort that counts. Not beating myself up for it though.”
– Wassim, 28<\/p>\n
“I live with my mom that never really leaves the house so I am never able to comfortably bring girls over. It kinda sucks considering a lack of intimacy makes the entire country sexually frustrated.”<\/b>
– Anonymous, 25<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s suicidal.\u201d
– Jad-Ev Nasser, 23 <\/p>\n
“I love the idea of being independent and bringing home girls whenever I want but to be honest, it\u2019s really nice coming home to a kitchen full of food every night.”<\/b>
– Khalil, 23<\/p>\n
“Some Sundays I\u2019d like to sit around in my boxers, scratch my balls and watch Netflix. When my mom wakes me up before noon after I spent the previous night partying, it takes everything in me not to throw a fit.”
– Anonymous, 25<\/p>\n
“‘Me time’ is usually about 3 AM when the entire family is sound asleep. So I guess you can say I\u2019ve learned how to work around it.”<\/b>
– Firas, 23<\/p>\n
“The only time it really gets uncomfortable is when I have friends over and they see my stuffed animals and the way my mom treats me like a child. Other than that, it beats paying a staggering amount for rent and electricity.”
– Hassan Nasser, 26<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t mind the fact that my parents are home all the time. If I need privacy, I\u2019ll just get a room anywhere. What really bothers me is their constant badgering about what I\u2019m going to do with my life, when I\u2019m going to get married, and why I haven\u2019t put away my folded laundry yet.”<\/b>
– Tarek, 28<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m actually looking for a place as we speak; since my mom found a bunch of DVDs she didn\u2019t approve of in my room and tossed them out.”
– \u201cWhatever you do, don\u2019t use my name,” 21<\/p>\n
