live under (one's) roof

Living in one's house, especially as a guest, lodger, or dependent. I don't care what your parents used to let you do at home, Timmy. If you're going to live under my roof, you're going to follow my rules! I couldn't bear living under my parents' roof anymore, so one day I packed my bags and left.
