Answer 1

the "Parasite single" is a recent phenomon (in the USA they're called "twixters"). The Twixter is a 20th centure creation and exists mostly in 1st world industrial nations (such as US and Japan).

Before 1960's, most people meet their husbands/wives from family members, church socials, etc..., married during college and worked at dad's store.

These social conventions... that transformed a teenager into an adult... don't exist anymore.

Times have changed. And nowdays, it is VERY common for college graduates to remain single and live at home. Why?

Because industrialized nations are EXPENSIVE to live in. Rent. Bills. Credit.? Most high school graduates or college students can't afford to live alone because they don't have the expereince or job skills necessary to make a decent living. All of a sudden, living at home... with free rent, free food, and mom to do the laundry.. becomes a great alternative.

You are not alone. Many people remain inbetween the teenager-adult transition.

Meeting your future spouse has different rules in nations such as USA and Japan. Because of the metropolis, mass tansit, high-rise apartment buildings, living in the city is almost a necessasity for young adults who want to make better lives for themselves (that's where the most skilled labor and higher-paying jobs are). And with new settings... new rules apply.

Men don't meet women from family members or religious functions anymore. They have to meet them out in bars, clubs, bookstores, cafe's, co-worker birthday parties. Suddenly, meeting your soul mate is something that requires effort and searching, and therefor makes your prospects decrease.

Everyone is trying to meet everyone to increase the chance of finding the RIGHT person out of the randomness of the city life. So women are constantly meeting tons of men.. most of whom they don't like ... and men are constantly TRYING to meet women who won't reject them upfront because she has so many other options. Thus, a lot of people remain single in their 20's because how the rules have changed, and there are so many options available to them it's hard to committ to one person when you never know a better one will come the next day. It's both a virtue and curse of the freedoms that young adults have.

You don't see such a thing happening in 2nd & 3rd would countries. Most people are engaged or wed in their teens and immediately work in the field to help support the family. The fact that we in the US (and other industralized nations... such as Japan) have this mixed up generation is both a blessing and a curse. It represents the freedoms we have, but also distabablizes the balance of society. But no matter how bad it may be, I still think it's good because NOT having the freedom or the choice is far worse.

The twixter/parasite single is a recent phenonemon and it applies mostly to industrialized nations where the people have so many options available to them. Whatever societal mechanics that turned teenagers to adults has broken down... and now we have a new generation of those who are inbetween (legally adults, but still at home and single).

Answer 2

Generally in Australia most of us move out of home around 16 - 18, some younger due to the government welfare support system currently in place (all they have to do is say they can't live at home mum & dad confirm it-even if it is untrue) Many of us have employment to fall back on, and of those who do choose to stay home pay their way as government subsidised parental income support is cut at 16.(hence the reason so many move out at 16) If your parents are willing to support you financially there is nothing wrong with that as long as the finance is enough. I don't know how well such a culture as you are suggesting would take hold here as many young people like to be independent regardless of their capability to be so. My question to you is are you just as willing to support your parents in their retirement if they need you to, if so the favour is returned with respect for what your elders have done for you. As to having graduated are you currently seeking employment or actually being a little bit lazy, why waste your education and the sacrifice that your parents have made for you.

Answer 3

In the United States,many people grow up,and move out when they are 18 years old. They work to pay for their own housing,food,and whatever their needs may be. In my own life, I would not ask my mother for any help unless it was a desperate emergency because I am an adult now.
Some people don't move out,don't get jobs, and depend on their parents to pay for everything.
But I would consider it an honor to take care of my mother if she needed me. She gave birth to me,raised me,taught me to take care of myself.

In India, people used to live in a joint family (with brothers, uncles,aunts etc) & that was the tradition which unfortunately is going to be withered away owing to the "Americanism". If your tradition permits you to live with your parents...do it but earning your bread & butter will help your parents at present & you in future. Don't forget ~ disaster welcomes the lazybones.
I,personally, work in a nationalised bank, my mother & elder brother (with an airline co.) live with me alongwith my wife & a baby and we will be living together until........

Answer 5

good... any interatction among persons in a running-in combination method is a society.... they paintings in combination and goto church and socialize. they've their possess society. as for tradition.. any institution of like-minded persons over a protracted sufficient time will create their possess tradition... they've that too. plus there is no regulations on wherein you can actually or can not publish on right here for probably the most aspect. simply seeing that we dont have the identical society or tradition as them does not imply they arent entitled to it.

Answer 6

that is your parents problem or maybe its not a problem for them. maybe you keep them company...maybe you will be caring for them soon and you'll never meet and marry a woman in need of a single/non parasite to love and cherish. good luck

Answer 7

As long as you're willing to take care of your parents when they get old enough to need care I don't see the problem,.
