Well I have the same situation, I'm the oldest (19 years old) right now in the family, I'm always treated like the "maid" my parents leave the house they tell me what to do what to clean, yet they come back see everything done and don't say a thanks, they come back saying you forgot to do this this isn't done right, can't they get happy that I at least done it I've always followed my mother everywhere, I always have to go with her to every store... and I'm tired of being there, my little brother it old him once to clean and he's like " i didn't throw it you clean it! thats why u are here" imagine? so I decided to get out and move in with the boyfriend but my parents always told me that I can't leave until I'm Twenty one and I want to make sure if it is true or if I can leave, I know in some state it depends in many states, so I live in Chicago IL, and I want to make sure I won't get into any trouble moving in with a 25 year old man because I know my parents would call the police and look for me and we don't want that. So I want advice before I move out and go away to live with the boyfriend... I n know a lot of people that say you are making a mistake but just think wouldn't it be the same? At the house and with him ? I rader be with him because he knows what I'm going through and he helps me out when I cry about how they treat me... please respond A.S.A.P

The age of majority in Illinois is 18 so is the age of consent.

The only problem would be if your parents could prove you entered into a sexual relationship with him before you turned 18.

Guess who's going to be the maid when you live with your boyfriend.

"maid with benefits"

But yes you can move out at 18.

Lol :P well he is not that type of guy that doesn't help the girl out.. he has shown me that he will help me in everything so we will both work for both thing and no... no sexually thing before it was all after :P well after 19.I know there are guys that say women have to do house work but he has lived by himself so he knows how to take care of things. But yeah thanks guys. :) hey man there are maids that get it all haha! This really helped me out.. lol my friend hasd a baby when she was sixteen and she's been there and here... mom kicks her out and the Bf too so she told me not to move in with the guy but I told her I was taking a risk

He'll enjoy having someone around to do all those chores he hates doing himself.

Yes, this will definitely be a risk.
