If you were 18 and a freshman, there wouldn't be anything weird.

If you're 21 and have lived on your own before, it's a bit weird.

omg what will other people think of me if they see me with my parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


grow up

Umm, how about you act 21 and not be embarrassed by your mom? We all have them, you know. It's not like Suzie in Algebra class won't talk to you because mommy and daddy came and helped you because they're nice parents.

It's actually very nice of them. Take the help and be grateful that you have kind parents who will offer to help you carry things. Actually if you aren't a faggot, you'll offer to take them out to lunch because you'll be starting classes soon and won't see them so often.

No one will think anything bad about you.

>>5209121
How could they? What could they possibly even interpret as bad about it? They're your family, fucking hell.

look you insecure faggot. your parents are just being good parents. be glad they care enough to just do this.

Having just moved this past weekend, this is true.

Yes. It would actually be pretty unusual if your parents did not accompany you if they live within a reasonable distance of your school.

I live at my parents home, but it is like I live alone. They don't get into my life. I always wanted to live by myself but I don't make a lot of money where I work so it would be a hard to pay the bills.

>>5209109
Actually it would be weird if I'm the onlyt one that shows up with them. Not like I care but is just seem weird they want to come, as I barely see them during the day or speak to them for that matter.

You're going to be a social outcast anyways, so why worry?

look you ungrateful bastard, allow your parents this one fucking thing, to see you off into the world, and chat fondly about you on their way home. you little soul sucking asshole.

Almost every person that lives in dorms has their parents/family help them. Seriously.

Not just the freshmans either. Seniors, super seniors, juniors, etc... Almost all of them get help from parents/family.

>>5209166
lol what?

>>5209114
I clearly stated I'm not ashamed of them, I was just asking if it was weird. I think is nice of them to come with me that day. But the thing is I'm not a freshman so I was just wondering.

>>5209160
You sound like a prick. Even if they're horrible people (which they may not be, since you've said nothing about that), they're offering to do something nice. A mature 21 year old adult would thank them for the help and repay it with a nice lunch or something.

I can't believe that at this age you're concerned about whether people will think you're weird because your parents helped you move boxes. Don't say "not like I would care" because obviously you do. You're such a little twat.

>>5209193
Thanks. In my country we don't have dorms, only community colleges so I was just wondering what was the norm here in the U.S.

You'll actually look WEIRDER moving in alone.

You sound pretty weird anyway, probably autistic. So who cares, people will think you're a freak anyway. A freak that doesn't even understand that his parents love him.

>>5209203
If you weren't worried about being embarrassed, what else would you mean by "weird?" Weird like funny clown shoes? You want to know what it looks like because you'd be embarrassed if people would think it odd.

You care about looking normal to strangers at the expense of humoring your parents and showing your gratitude. That's shame. Fucking pathetic for a 21 year old.

Norms might be different in this country. I just realized I was being paranoic, but I must confess that moving days and first day of class still freak me out for some reason.

>>5209247

You're a little cunt.

I just moved into law school and almost everyone had their parents and we're all 23-28ish. I had my gf move me because my parents didn't want to and had to work.

>>5209247
So are you saying in "your country" it's odd for parents to help their child assimilate to a new location or lifestyle?

Anyone who is over the age of 18 and is still em brassed to be seen with their parents, is an immature little shit.

Seriously guy, they're another couple pairs of hands that'll make the job easier, and will be gone right after you've moved in.

>>5209286
Yes pretty much. And is worst if you happen to be a male, and I'm not even kidding.

And here I was feeling bad that my mother had to leave right after she helps me move in. You don't even know if you want them to see you off. Jerk.

What country do you live in where this would be completely odd?

>>5209095
Everyone's parents come to the first moving day unless you're like 40. If you don't know anyone in the area, moving by yourself is a major bitch. Man up and accept their help. When you have friends, you can have them help you and you'll be able to tell your parents that you appreciate the offer, but you don't need the assistance.

Or they could be like my parents and not give 2 shits about you, leaving you to move everything in by yourself. It's not fun.

Honduras, well I lived there till I was 17. There I was even called a mamas boys etc etc. I know 2 girls here in the U.S that call me like that just because I like spending time with my mom. Also on the transfer day I went with my sister and everyone was looking me fucking weird because I brought someone.

OP, parents usually accompany their college students on moving day to help them get their stuff into the dorm. My dad accompnnied me on every move in day and I see parents with their teens on move in days.

So it's perfectly normal.

ITT people with shitty parents rage and people with aspergers try to convince the OP it's normal for your parents to hold your hand everywhere you go

They're just people helping you move. Get over it.

>>5209486

lol what

I'm british and pretty much everyone has their parents help them move in, unless they're mature students or they can drive and have a car

unless you parents are way lame i dont see why you wouldnt want their help.

my parents are ok, they are not super conservative or anything and they are not super cool either. they are somewhere in the middle which i think is good for parents. for example they know i smoke weed, and while they arent thrilled they dont care that much. i will admit to being spoiled though i am slowly working my way towards being more independent but probably wont happen until i graduate and get a real job.
