I would suggest talking to your dad as well.... is he planning to living with you till he pass away? Or he is just staying with you for a few more years? Is a big difference...... I am not saying you are not close to your family but there comes a time when you have to be on your own and have your own personal space....

Also what if you have a gf or wife and kids.... Parents usually get don't along with your wife/husband so if he plans to stay with you till he pass away that's not a good idea. Is the reality..........

Have a chat with him but I would suggest not buying now..... maybe stay in your uncle basement for a bit longer and rent after.... dont' rent an apartment if possible try to rent a basement if possible is usually cheaper and more space so you at least have more privacy.

And you also need to start thinking about it long term. Do you want to live your dad even if you are marry? When do you feel is good to move out on your own? How will your gf/wfie feels about it if your dad wish to live to you for good, how will you handle the suitation?

As for your mom, she already have a place she owns so don't worry about her. Just let her know you feel dad needs your help more at this point and he did rasie you and your bro.

Off topic though. I feel more and more people are lving with paretns longer and longer these day. Is not just to do with the rise of living cost or housing price but the mature level and also how parents think. More and more parents feels once they are old or retire it is the kids responsibility to take care of them rather then living on their own (let's face it gov is no help at this point and health care and living cost is going up).

Also lot's of young adult I see are pretty immature these days to able to live on their own VS our parents. We tend to spend our money on things we don't need, doesn't have the right pority in life, can't do chorces, cook, too lazy to clean......... our parents babied us way too much.

So I think overall we are going to see more and more young couple living with their parents. I actually watch a show on TV call the Doc zone and it actually descerible this in detail.
