Tons of people live with their parents these days. There's not as much stigma as there was in the past. I think more guys live at home if you can believe that... up until their 30s... until they get married or get into a serious relationship where they need privacy. Why not, if everyone is happy with the arrangement... it's so expensive to live these days. Personally I couldn't live with either of my parents.

Just because a person turns 18 doesn't always mean they are quite ready to jump out & start living on their own right away...

I see nothing wrong with young adults living with their parents...
However, being a certain age doesn't mean one shouldn't respect their parents "house rules". If the young adult is not attending school, they should work & pay some kind of rent.

Don't. Unless there is some overwhelming reason, medical, etc. be on your own. Adults that live with their parents generally appear to be lazy, incompetent, and lack maturity. Parents that allow adult children to live with them are hindering the mature growth of the child. Would you marry a 30s something man that still lived at home with 'mother'? If you think yes, you should reconsider your position. Adults that refuse to leave the nest haven't developed a mature attitude about live nor have they experienced the growth required to be on their own.

At a certain time in life, it is time to take some independance and responsibility for yourself, before it's too late. Your parents won't be there forever... You can't expect them to run your adult life...

I moved out at age 18, so have been living in the real world for a while. Kids need that experience if they are gonna mate it, otherwise, it will be too late and they will be trying to mooch off mommy and daddy forever. There comes a time when they have to take a stand, stand up to overbearingness, and make their own decisions.

and once the guardian-type is not living with the kid, they should respect the kids decisions and offer advice.... not threats or petty drama.

My parents firmly believed that it was their responsibility to teach me to be an independent person and a useful member of society. If I had been unprepared to be on my own upon graduating from high school, they would have felt that they failed in their purpose. They did a good job and I am very grateful for it. I have no desire to live with my parents but am prepared to take care of them if health issues cause the need to arise.

That all depends on your age if your under say 21 then its fine, once you become an adult and you have a job,enough money coming in to pay half rent with someone and a car,you should be out of the nest, I moved out when I was 18 and loved being independent

It works for some people but not others. My brother stayed home until he married but I left at 18. I get along fine with my parents but I always was the independent type that liked being off on my own. Whatever floats your boat in respect to that.

I don't see anything wrong with it unless it brings disorder to the household. I think if you have friends that push the boundaries you should see them elsewhere or get your own place. In the case of mutliple children, what happens when the parents die!

I don't know how well that works for married people. I know it helped break my mother and father apart.

I would expect my kids to contribute to consumables like food, electrcity and water, unless I was rich.

There's nothing wrong with it. I lived with my parents till I was married a little over a year ago and I'm in my mid 30's. I paid them rent, and paid a couple of the bills as well.

Depends on your relationship with your parents. I feel Young adults should get out as soon as possible - fend for themselves and learn what life is about. But if you stay for financial reasons, you could still have a great young adulthood. Mutual respect is of the essence.
