[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Than have them live at home during college or after.

Yes, I am a traditional white American. It is beyond my range of experience and observation for young adults to live with their parents for an extended time after they are 18. I would have never dreamed of it. My sisters never did. My parents would never have gone for it barring serious illness. And I don't really remember any of my friends doing it either. Summers were the longest times spent at 'home' after high school graduation.

Anyone else think like this? [/quote]

It's common in lots of cultures for adult children to live at home. And it's much harder/more expensive for "kids" now. I'd rather DC live at home and save money for a home, pay off loans, save for retirement, etc.

I also don't get people who just want to cut all support, involvement, whatever, the moment they turn 18. My parents did. But, lots of my friends did not (had trust funds, were welcome at home, etc.) and they are all responsible, independent people now in their middle ages. [/quote]
