I'm twenty four and I still live with my mother,
So living in a sharehouse with an older person would
be absolutely fine, because my mother is a delight to
live with.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
I'm now thirty two and I've already lived with my parents.
I'm already out on my own. I don't need to
live with parents anymore. And I'm sure you know they
can just live on their own. They'll be happy to
live on their own rather than having someone that would
party or dream or anything like that. So no, I
don't think it passes.

that's something that's loves you.

accommodation with mature age people, I could never do it again.
I'm too set in my ways. I'm happy just to
share with my partner on our beautiful property and no
one else.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I think it does. I'm forty two myself, and for me,
as long as the other person who is being a tidy, respectful,
you know, they're just generally reasonable person, it passes from me. There,
you go label your own fit.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I do that in my house now. And you live
with your family, Well, they're always nicking my stuff.
