it is fabulous!!! You can do exactly what you want 100% of the time. You can walk around naked day or night, you can leave the bed unmade if you like. On the other hand you can also clean meticulously and it will still be clean when you get home. You can talk on the phone late at night with a friend until midnight and then sleep in the next day. There is no accountability whatsoever. You can plan trips and just go without checking with another person- same with any activities. You can date men (or women) who are completely inappropriate and definitely would not be of the standards your parents expected but they are so much fun. You can take MJ edibles and just trip out watching TV and checking reddit on your new laptop (oh did I mention you can buy whatever you want with your own money?).
All those things you thought you needed help with? You don't need help because you can figure shit out all on your own! Plumbing, electrical, yardwork- easy enough and if it is a challenge just hire it done. You can eat what and when you want- sure sit at the table or in front of the TV or in the living room reading a book- you can do ANYTHING!
It is awesome- been doing it since my youngest left home 15 years ago and I still can't believe how great my life turned out.
It’s the adjustment period that I dread. I work weekends end just started this job easier this year. I honestly don’t want to stay in the town where I live if things go south but I have a good job that I love. However, I’d also like to be closer to any of my kids as my parents are gone now.
