[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the American rush to kick your kids out of the house at 18 so strange. I moved out when I married at 26. And my brother moved out when he joined the air force at 23. I'm now 35 and my parents still keep a room for both of us, and remind me all the time that I'm always welcome to come home. My husband's parents have a similar attitude, and I plan to do the same for my own kids. When our parents get older and they need somewhere to go, they will have a home with us as well. That's what being a family means.

I don't think of living alone as some right of passage that indicates you're now an adult. Living alone is expensive, and frankly a waste of money, until you have an actual need for the space (ie. A family of your own).[/quote]

I'm not from the US and my friends and I all moved out, as in we got jobs after college and were on our own. But maybe it's because I am from a very small town: getting a professional job there was just not possible, we all moved to cities.[/quote]
