I stayed home till I married at almost 19. The last of my boys to move out was Ben, last month ~ he is almost 29. The others left as they moved in with their girlfriends, in their early 20s, apart from Alex who went to live in London when he was 19. He moved back home when he was 29 and stayed for a year or so till he moved in with his girlfriend (now wife). They all know we are here for them if ever they need us. Carolyn x
