Oh man! That is bad heatring him at it!
When my folks bought a new house when I was 15 or 16 they took the room furthest away from the others. I'm not sure if it was for their benefit or ours!
I moved out quite young... 20 I packed my bags and moved off to Siberia. Bought my house at 21, got the keys and moved in on my 22nd Birthday. Never asked mum to do cleaning or washing since either!
