Dave The Canuck 2012/05/28 02:50:14Yes+6At 18, except in rare cases, I think the youth SHOULD still be living at home with their parents. I wouldn't recommend living on one's own until at least 21. At 18, you're still sort of a kid. Too young to move out, in my opinion.






















your basic schooling should be done ..
you should already have a job .. be paying your own bills ..
and NOT burdening your parents at that time ..
(and yes, before I was 18 .. I already graduated School, had jobs, paying my own bills and had my own place to live too).
so that even with minimum wage .. it IS possible to live on your own ..
(it all depends on your locale)
IF one is respectful to their parents,
willing to follow the house rules ..
pay a bit of a share towards the costs of the household ..
AND help out with the chores ..
that is a GOOD THING ..
........... not one kid between here and there livin' with Mom + Dad ... I don't think so !
there's still children at 18 moving out .. living on their own each and every day ..
(and being responsible for their bills too)
it is Difficult .. it was tough back then (of course) ..
but it CAN BE DONE ..
What bothers me ..
are those that HANG ON and do NOT respect the parents, the ones that choose to not WORK at all .. the ones who abuse their elders .. don't pay anything .. and seem to think that everyone else somehow 'owes' them a living ..
That ATTITUDE problem .. is what needs to be getting a bit of REALITY by the parents packing their things up .. changing the locks and leaving the stuff on the door and letting the adult 'kid' experience LIFE ... (consequences)
I have my own little terminology for those types Mom .... I call them ' Wouldworkers ', you know just like woodworkers ....
.............. they ' Would Work ', but they don't fell like it !
Sadly .. I even know someone like this in their ..
(oh, here it comes indeed)
60+ YEARS of age ..
who has always been 'bailed' by his Momma ..
and now that the parents have passed away
(and I knew his parents too)
he 'wonders' why no one listens to his 'whine' ..
'would-work' .. I'd say he never had the will to even come close to 'would' ..
edit- I know who he is now.
Hell, these clowns want him to live with his parents until he is 26. What's up with that?
I don't take issue with families staying together as long as everyone pulls weight. In fact, I think it could be a good thing.
There have been articles in various media over the past few years where single young adults and married couples have moved back in with parents due to job losses. In an economy like we have now people have to make the best choice that won't result in suffocating debt.
At least one commenter mentioned "living off one's parents". I don't agree with doing that. All adults living in the house should be contributing financially and / or with the upkeep and running of the household.

Most cultures require children to live with their parents up till they're married.
1) going to college
2) working and contributing (have to learn somehow - the real world is a lot harder) although the IDEAL is still to get their own place, even if it's with roommates. They need to learn autonomy and responsibility.
3) going to college And working is best yet, because it will toughen them up and teach them accountability and to take care of themselves.
I do not believe in kids living at home til they're 30+. If they do, they never learn those things and won't ever figure out what the real world is like. As a parent, I know I won't always be around to fix things or clean up messes, and I don't think I'd be doing my kids any favors if I let them take the easy road. Once I'm gone, no one will take care of them, and they will need to take care of themselves.
I moved out at 18, supported myself, had a career, then a family, then more career, then went back to college. I never moved back home since, even when things were hardest.
I also have a nephew who just turned 22 living with me for the last year or so. He's a good kid, but we had quite the adjustment period after he moved in. I'm as close as he's going to get to a mom, but he is required to pay his own rent, at least. Half the time he goes out to eat, but there's always food her...

We've been working on him, and he's working on a second promotion at his job now. He now has a car he is paying for, too. Before that, he was barely scraping by living with roommates even though he paid less rent for a lesser living arrangement and had no car. Now he is well on his way to being a MAN, and I couldn't be prouder of him. He's come a LONG way :)
