When should a child leave the parents’ home?
Jul 23, 2010
Patricia Muwonge <br>Both girls and boys should only leave home when they are financially secure and can stand on their own in hard or good times. I would feel disturbed if my child has to return home after moving out because she has failed to make ends meet.

Both girls and boys should only leave home when they are financially secure and can stand on their own in hard or good times. I would feel disturbed if my child has to return home after moving out because she has failed to make ends meet. It would mean they are a failure and may in future need to be dependant on other people for survival.

Why should a child move out of the parents’ home to live in a muzigo? I would not allow it. They have to stay until they can afford their own homes. Why pay rent when you have a free house to stay in and can use the money to build your own home?

When they have completed school and found employment. It would give parents confidence that they did not waste their money. It would also prove to parents that their kids can live independently. I would feel very proud if my child came and told me I am moving out. That would mean I have done a good job as a parent. I cannot stand in their way.

Children should leave when they have found well paying jobs and can sustain themselves. But a girl should live with her parents until she finds a suitor otherwise she may fail to find one when she begins staying on her own. Men would have a bad impression of her.

I think all girls should leave their parents’ home for the husband’s home. That is after marriage, or introduction or when the process has started. The parents should know where she has gone. That shows that she respects herself, her parents and honours her tradition and family. Only a reckless girl leaves her parents’ home to stay on her own because it would mean she is free to do whatever she wills and some of her actions may not reflect well on her family. However it is different for boys. Boys must leave as soon as possible to learn how to be on their own early enough. This builds them into strong men who can look after their family quite well.

Boys can leave as soon as they become sexually active. Leaving on their own gives them a sense of responsibility. If they mess up, the burden rests on their shoulders so living on their own makes them disciplined. But for girls, it is wise to move out when she is either getting married or moving into her own house. She will be more respected than one who moves out to stay in a rented house.
