used to tell my parents I was going to live with them forever. HELP! It’s
coming true.”

the embarrassment of catching my dad in his daisy-duke tennis shorts,
blasting his Vietnamese karaoke tunes.”
Cecile, 22
Houston, TX |
“Clearly I was an evil
warlord in a past life and the retribution is to suffer evil torment, not only
by living at home with my parents, BUT…by sharing a bedroom with my 17 year old
brother.”
Jessica, 25
Mt. Arlington, NJ |
“It’s not like I can say, hey guys, lets kick it in my
room – at my mom’s house! Boy that’s just the
coolest thing I can think of saying to my friends.”
Meghan, 23
Pacific Grove, CA |
“I am so embarrassed about

I don’t even try.”

Marietta, GA |

being able to bring leftovers home from a date, in the words of
my father – ‘my refrigerator, my food.’”

embroidered flower trouser socks.”
Nichole, 24

“My brother took over my old bedroom, so the only
place left was the claustrophobic 7' by 9' cell I now live in and
lovingly refer to as 'the hole'. ‘The hole’ is in our attic, with a
ceiling so slanted that if you don't crouch, three steps in you knock
yourself stupid.”
David, 25
Cincinnati, OH |
“Over the reverberating whine
of the washer/dryer combo and the smell of bleach, I lie in my bed in the
laundry room of my 85-year-old Grandmother’s house. I moved here to save money,
and my life is now a sadistic episode of The Golden Girls. I also live with my
60-year-old mother, Red.”
Mike, 27
Burlington, CT |
“My room is roughly the size of a minivan.
Minivans at least have air-conditioning. My room is the hottest in the house,
the top bunk traps all of the air and – oh, did I forget to
mention that I don’t just share a room (with my sister),
but a bunk bed?”
Valerie, 22
Tracy, CA |
“Did I mention my trying to
fit my whole life back into my childhood room complete with all the spots on
the walls where my Alf stickers once stuck and have since been ripped
off?”
Jamie, 22
Chicago, IL |
“My father is the pastor of
a hip, young adult urban church. He dyes his hair blue sometimes, just for
fun.”
Katrina, 24
Englewood, CO |
“Need I rehash the awkward moment
when my little brother meandered in to the garage at 2:30 am to find me kissing
a (quote) "strange dude with weird hair"? Even better when
aforementioned "strange dude with weird hair" was INVITED IN for
COFFEE by my all-too-well meaning mother, who proceeded to ask "what his
deal was" and if he was "marriage minded.””
Kate, 23
Irvine, CA |
“One time my dad gave my date this little form to fill
out. "Application to date my daughter"
I wanted to die. I haven't had a date since then and that was almost 2 years
ago.”
Alexis, 21
Escondido, CA |
“I want to live somewhere
that has rooms not decorated with dolls or pineapples, and isn't painted pink…I
would like to have friends over to my place without having to put out the kitty
cat coasters.”
Justin, 25
Lewisville, NC |
