Why I chose to live with my Mum in my 30s
Going against the grain of societal expectations
by Navina Donata
Living with your parents in your thirties isn’t exactly a lifestyle choice you see on Instagram.
For a lot of people where independence is almost a rite of passage, the idea of co-living with your mum well into adulthood can raise more than a few eyebrows.
Yet here I am, living with my mother.
Not because I can’t afford to live on my own. I’m here because I chose this, a life that’s filled with shared moments, family warmth and — yes — the occasional bout of frustration.
