I know that alot of american people look down on children who do not leave the nest of their parents when they turn 18. however people comming from a different culture do live with their parents till they get married and even then they still live together with their parents.

There are many cultures around the world (I'm not talking about tribes in the jungle but people who use computers and cell phones) where it is perfectly normal for people to live with their parents even after getting married well beyond 18. Even if they do leave home most of the time they stay in the same town if not the same street.
So there is nothing wrong with it as long as the parents and the kid involved find nothing wrong with it and if they can just ignore the pressures of society.

there is nothing wrong with living with your parents after the age of 18. People should run thier lives they way they feel is right not by what other people say is right. Some cultures whole families live together and there is nothing wrong with that. I think families that are so close they can all live under the same roof have a lot to show to the rest of the world... But most important where a person lives or does not live should only matter to that person

No there is nothing wrong living with your parents after you turn 18...for awhile.
I feel its important to realize though as an adult, its now your responsibility to make something of yourself.
Go to college, work towards a career for yourself or go to a trade school. You'll want to get a small job while you do that too. Being able to pitch in some money towards expenses is helpful or even save enough to get into your own place. Believe me you will want to be your own boss.
In my family, the boys were expected to leave the home earlier than the girls. The girls were encouraged to persue a career and college degree before getting married and if marriage interrupted that....so be it.
Good luck to you.

It's not so much an issue with females, but do you honestly want anything to do with a boy that can't go get a job, and find himself a place to live? How is this idiot to provide for you if his daddy is the provider? Maybe you should date his father!
I have dealt with women that live with their parents, and my only complaint is being a grown man having to answer questions like some teenage boy to moronic parents that think their precious little princess is a virgin and will be coming home tonight!
Ladies, at least be ready when we come by, and for goodness sakes don't set up some white lie crap where your parents think your going to a prayer meeting when in actuality you are coming to my place for a romantic dinner and a night of debauchery!!!!!

Nothing wrong with it at all. I lived with my parents after graduationg college for a year, and while they got on my nerves I was grateful for the opportunity to save money. My brother is 22 and has lived there his whole life. He is working at a bank and saving up money for a house. He loves it (most of the time) and will live there until he gets married. It's a great way to stay connected with your parents and save money after college and highschool. Nothing wrong with it at all. Now...if you are still there at 30 and have no career goals other than smoking pot and masturbating...yeh...thats not good. Otherwise, good deal.

I just moved out of my house. I'm 20. I felt a lot of pressure from society to move out and start to make it on my own even though I was able to save a lot more money living with my parents.
The good thing about it is it is very liberating and makes your relationship with your parents more like they are your friends and makes your relationship improve overall.
It is very expensive, but a worthwhile rite of passage.

As long as you and your parents have a comfortable arrangement, don't worry about what society says. Stay in that loving environment until you are ready to move out on your own. Save your money and build for your future so that you can do it right.
