I have had a mix of unusual living situations since I was a kid.
I did not always live with my parents for instance.
There was at least a 5-year phase between my early teen years plus the end of high college where I was living with my uncle plus uncle. It undoubtedly was a great experience for me with everything considered, but my own uncle gave me a lot more structure plus stability in my life than my parents were able to prior. It also gave me an experience of living out west which I have not been able to replicate the year since. I started living alone when I was in college! During my junior year I had a dorm room on campus that was a private household essentially. I had a little miniature kitchen area including a bathroom all to myself. They were basically studio apartments plus college. I’ve gotten used to living alone because I like the flexibility plus freedom it gives me. I can set the temperature to whatever I want it to be indoors. I can control what a/c plus boilers to my discretion. This is substantial for me because I have actually recognizable preferences when it comes to how I sleep at night plus what temperature I want the air to be at, usually I like it as low as 70 degrees or even 74 degrees with a hot blanket. It’s nice having a smart thermostat that allows me to control my a/c plus boiler just from bed or even while I’m at work or on trip.
