It should be 16. They can learn to be independent, wise and successful in their lives.

First off, parents should not kick their children out of their house. When they decide they can live on their own, which is about 18 in most cases then they should be confident enough that they were raised the right way and can make it. Option should always be there for them to ask for help also.

Like somebody already said, I don't think parents should "kick" their children out of the homes. Children should leave when they feel they are ready and that is different for each of us. There is no shame in living with your parents...
Besides, 16 is an early (and critical) age and although "kicking" them out might be good in some ways, you have to admit it can also harm them a lot. Too much independence is not good either, especially if you misuse it...

16 year old children should be in high school focusing on there grades. Statics show that children who live in a home with a disciplined responsible adult during the years that they are in school are more likely to succeed in life, get better grades, are less likely to hang out with the wrong crowd of people, show more respect turds people, and become better people in general! 16 year old children should not be aloud out of the house after dark on a school night unless it is for a school activity or to go to work, they should have to do there home work before they get to do fun things such as watch TV or talk on the phone, and there parents should always know where they are! They may not like or admit that they need some one to enforce discipline and structure in there life's but for most of them they really do need it when they are only teens!

I think 18 is a good age but I would not kick out my son provided he is contributing in some way and working towards a goal. When my son becomes an adult, if he lives with me he will be expected to clean up after himself and pay rent. (Obviously below market prices.) He will also be required to go to school or have a job in his field and living with me only to save money for his own home. I refuse to raise a man who is a mooch but I will definitely be there for him until he can hold his own.

You, being a parent, really do not want your children to leave, but the Bible says to leave your parents and cleave unto your wife. I have 4 children with ages ranging from 9 to 20. My left me after 20 years of marriage a couple of years ago. I would love to have all may family at home. My oldest still considers my home as home because that is where he grew up. He is in his second year of college with three years to go to become a civil engineer. He is needing a place to spend a few weeks here and a couple of weekends there between quarters. His "stuff" is in his bedroom and will remain until he graduates from college. He has big plans to work for a big construction company and enjoys his independence, so, I will miss him when his stuff is gone for good. But, I will always have a place for him to stay and visit. My younger son, 16, has plans to go to college to become a mechanic for a foreign car dealership. Well, there are no big foreign car dealership near home, so, he will be gone to better his life in a big city. My girls, live with their mother, for now. We will have to wait and see what goes on with them, but, I do not want any of my children to leave, but that is God's commission. After college, your children should be able to make it on their own. Good Luck!

well it all depends on how they are when it comes time i mean if they have a job or college and are well off then i would say 18 but if not i would kick them out no later then 19 cause if they do not learn by then they will never learn do not say they can never come back but that they need to try it on their own so i say at least 18 or 19

I do not believe in "kicking" your kids out of the home at all. I think that when they are ready to leave the nest, they will do it. As long as that child is acting like an adult, why kick them out?I never wanted my kids to leave home. I loved them with all my heart. I myself moved out when I was 23, that was because I got married. My daughter moved out when she was 20. I cried the day she moved out.
I am now 49 and I am back living with my parents again. If you will look at my profile you will find out why.

I feel that a parent should not kick not their kid out unless that they are not doing anyhting with their lives. Say for intance your son/daughter is in school or college, as long as they are tyring to maintain some type education and is doing well, the parents should not have any problem. On the other hand, if your kid starts to act up and diosbey you and just dont go to school, kick he/she out because if they cant respect you in your own house they donr deserve to be there. Kick them out as soon as they turn 18, cause its your duty to take care of them until turn 18

It depends on their maturity level. Some kids are ready to go at 16 or 17 and some just never grow up. It's all in the way they are raised.
