    Well I'm in the process of moving out for the first time ever and I must say, am getting a LOT of opposition/obstacles for this issue from my parents. so I'm just wondering, growing up in a chinese family, how did your parents deal with you moving out for the first time?

    they encouraged it...but then of course I was moving out to go to university! After that, they wanted me to go home but I decide to do a phd so I didnt have to move home again. Now that i've finished, they want me to get a job closer to them, but I guess they're use to me away now so they dnt nag me anymore!

    My parents didnt like me going far away for uni and they kept ringing me everyday at the satrt to check that I'm ok and kept asking when I'm home next. They're just worried for us chinese kids thats all :)

    They were okay with it, since my sis and bro already moved out before me for Uni. They believe I can take care of myself. I remember before they would learn to use msn, I wouldn't get to talk to my parents for months. >_>

    parents were opposed to me moving out at first, but didn't mind so much after I was living out for a couple months and visited frequently.

    My parents were against it, and i recall my mom constantly calling me and asking me when i can be home for dinner or if i can have dinner with them everyday. it took my mom quite a long time to be okay with me no longer living with her.

    I was going to move out until I got my financial aid for the college in my city, but my dad did not encourage it only because of financial problems. Same for my mom, until I showed her I got financial aid for some place out of the city she encouraged me.
