I would say once you are financially stable with a job and done with college. That would probably be an age limit of 25 tops. It gets too dirty when the "child" is old because they are an adult at that point. It's hard to get along with your parents when you are an adult at their house because they will still treat you like a child.
Now if you are going to take advantage of your parent's generousity, like being rude and disrespectful, not working, quitting college, being lazy, then they can leave pronto.
Hopefully I can stick to my guns with my kids! :)

I think if you are old enough to have graduated from college then you should be living on your own. So around 22 or 23. Because by this age your parents rules are really gonna start to bother you and frankly you probably bother your parents too. Of course if there are extenuating circumstances you are gettign a divorce, illness, etc. then it should be for as short a time as possible.

maximum 1 year after completing school. The role of a parent is to raise a child to be a well adjusted, independent ADULT. Parents who allow their children to live at home longer than is necessary are doing them a disservice. The life experience gained from being self sufficient is worth far more than the money saved or the comforts given by staying with Mommy and Daddy.

It depends on the circumstances. I am 23 and still live with my mom. BUT we share all bills. It is OUR place. I have no set rules. we keep the place clean and pick up our own messes. we both cook. We get along great together. Of course right now I'm juggling college with full time work. There is NO set age limit. It is when ever you or your parents feel the need to be separate.

I would say 23 because thats the age where my partner and I will graduate from university, move into our home together, get married then start our family.
So really I think as soon as you graudate or leave school and get a job then you should be leaving, I think its terrible the way some children leech off their parents living with them until they are 30 or whatever.

As long as you all get along and share the bills etc.... stay there until you are able to get your own home and your car is paid for.... that way you don't have to be dependent upon a room mate!
It worked for me and it felt great to have my car paid for and have enough money to afford my own place.... the key to it is learning how to save and invest your money for future purchases like a home ... don't buy more house than you can afford(by yourself) --- if you can only afford a mobile home or condo then that's what you get.... I didn't want to rent an apartment .... I lived in a mobile home until I got married and then I sold it... if my hubby had lived in the same country as I did --- I would of rented the mobile for extra income and invested that in a mutual fund or money market account.

depends on how the situation is, for some people will take care of there parents who may need alittle assistance like yard work or some house keeping help. Some help with parents health and aome just want a free ride.
i think it is a case by case situation

I agree with Elaeblue. If you can graduate from college you should be on your own..But considering 30's the new twenty I don't know how that will work. Once your parents start to interfer with your personal life and you cannot do things in private or openly comfortably around for their own sake..it's time to get your own place.

It depends on the situation...if you are in college and your school is near your parent's home, then it is okay to live with them. However, if you are not in school but are 20 or older, then get a job and stop leeching off of your parents.
