It depends on why. If you're going to school, I think it's fine. But, a lot of people take advantage of it. My sister is 27 and has never moved out of my parents' house. She's a high school drop-out (she's actually pretty smart, though) who has never held a job longer than six months but somehow collects SSI and disability (she "mysteriously" developed anxiety/panic attacks after my mother was truthfully diagnosed with them, among other things, and began receiving disability). The kicker is she doesn't pay any rent or contribute to the household bills, drives my mother's car, doesn't help take care of my mother (how can you when you party all night and sleep all day???) and hits *her* up for spending money. It's pretty freakin' sad.
I also don't have a problem with people possibly moving back home for a few months after graduating, getting a divorce, death in the family, etc. But, at some point, you kind of have to draw the line...what will the person do when the parents are gone? If they haven't learned responsibility and independence by then, they're going to be in a ridiculously tough position.

It depends. My brother in law moved back in with his parents. He's 22. The thing is, his stepdad's place of employment was sold so now he makes less money. My brother in law pays rent and a percentage on all the utilities. Personally, I don't agree with 2 families living together. Say a seventeen year old girl becomes pregnant, I don't think it's apropriate for her to continue living with her parents after the child is born. You should be responsible when you have a child and getting an allowance is not what I consider responsible. I have to disagree with your reasoning though. I'm 20, live with my 2 children and their father. I've been out of my parents house since I was 17. I'm able to save up and go to school. I already have taken quite a few classes.

I am 21 and still live with my mom. I am a full time student and substitute teaching until I can get highered on part/full time.
I also live at home because my mom is getting older and needs more help due to her health. I help her take care of the house and the horses etc.
Have to give a lot to receive a lot is the way I see it. Can't give a little and expect to receive a lot.
At the same time, I still have my Independence. I just respect and come home on decent hour, check up so they know everything is ok (as the highway is known as blood valley in our area). I am allowed to have my fiance over weekend and he does stuff around the house to help out. (Stationed in Camp Pen as Marine).
If a person was staying at home, no education, no working and being disrespectful, then obviously that person needs to leave the nest.

It would depend on the reason WHY someone is still living at home. If they are actively pursuing some sort of goal, such as going to college, saving money to buy their own home or they are in a transitioning period in their life such as just graduated and trying to find a job then WHY NOT? Living on your own is expensive.
The only problem I would have is if a person were still living at home, and basically just living the life of an overgrown teenager.

Nothing wrong with it givin the situation. Saving for school, saving for an apartment, broke up or just divorced. These are ok I think. But living for nothing and doing nothing is just plain wrong. I had my daughter living with me till 24. She tried very hard to start a life and now she's married with a 3 month old baby and out of the house. But had she been here doing nothing, well I would have had somthing to tell her then. But never be ashamed to have your parents helping you at any age.

If they're going to school and actually saving money, then it's fine(as long as the parents are OK with it). But if they're just living at home because they're too lazy to get a job and move out, then it's pathetic. Personally, I like being out of my parents house, and I moved out right after my 18th birthday.

At 21, a person should be out on their own. A 21 year old should not be mooching off their parents. Sure, there are certain circumstances that I can understand but he/she should be contributing to the household by paying rent, food shopping etc.

I think it depends on the maturity of the person. If the person is actually a mature, responsible person, then living at home with your parents should not be made fun of.

Absolutely, my little brother is 24 and still living with mom and dad. Of course he just graduated from grad school but still living with mom and dad none the less. It saves him money and he was able to concetrate on school and not where next months rent was comming from.
