When did you first move out on your own and did it change the relationship with your parents? If you haven’t moved out from living with your parents yet, what do you expect will happen to your relationship if you do?
When I first moved out on my own, my relationship with my parents did change. My relationship with my parents changed for the better. I was not spending everyday with them which gave me a chance to miss them. I was able to have my own space and freedom.
2.
What are some of the reasons Arnett speculates that help to lead to an improvement of the relationship between the emerging adolescent and their parents in reference to moving out? Do you agree with him? How does this relate to your personal experience?
It is easier to be fonder to someone you don't see very often. Parents do not know the details and meddle in details that emerging adults feel are not their business. Emerging adults are able to leave an environment they feel is intolerable. Yes, I do agree with him. When I moved out I found that I actually wanted to spend time with my mom because I was not there in the everyday chaos. Also, my mom does not know every detail of my life and tries to give her opinion about it.
3.
What was one of the most common reasons for emerging adults to leave their
home in the 1970’s? How is this different today? Why did you move out from your parents’ house If you haven’t moved out yet, what do you speculate will be the reason you might eventually move out?
One of the most common reasons for emerging adults to leave their home was because of marriage. This is different today because emerging adults today move out “to be independent”. I moved out of my parent’s house because the environment was toxic and chaotic. I needed peace in my life and the only way to
get peace was to move out.
4.
According to Arnett, why do some emerging adults return home after leaving?
Did you return home for a period of time after leaving? If so, why? If not, what
might cause you to move back in with your parents or other family members? How do you think moving back in impacts the relationship?
Some emerging adults return home after leaving as a transition period to get back on their feet, to figure out what they want to do, feeling burdened by bills, or
because of a divorce. Yes, I did return home for a period of time because of problems in my relationship. Moving back in helped me to clear my head to make
the best decision for myself.
5.
What does Arnett state is the key to a successful transition back home? Do you agree? Is there anything else you feel would ease this transition?
The key to a successful transition back home is for the parent to recognize their child’s maturity and to treat them as adults. 6.
Do you feel it is possible to be an emerging adult while still living at home? Why or why not?
I do not feel it is possible to be an emerging adult while still living at home. I feel this way because I will not be totally independent and I will have my parents in my business.
