Why do people seem to think living at home means you're less mature?

<p>fixiz2 - i agree with your post. i’m talking about a general attitude i’ve noticed (and several people i’ve met have said/implied this, including my high school friends who dorm).</p>

<p>yeah I guess home situation makes a big difference. My parents expect me to babysit my sister all the time as well as my grandpa, who recently moved in with us, on top of managing a part-time job, classes, social life/boyfriend…and I cook most of my own meals and have done my laundry as well as my sisters since I was like 12 lol…I don’t need to work, but my parents are already footing my college tuition and i’d feel like too much of a leech without having a part-time job. </p>

<p>eternal icicle - i bet it’s cause all my classes are so early, it seems like everyone shows up late and often in pj pants :smiley: I always end up in class early because of the train schedule, and I look out the window and watch an army of kids in sweats clutching starbucks lattes complaining about how early it is, marching in from down the street. I like early classes back to back so I can get them out of the way and it just fits with my work/commute schedule.</p>
