    What is so bad about living with your parents? That’s still the norm in many parts of the world. For some reason western countries, and especially America, have exaggerated the benefits of being financially independent, as if shared resources were some kind of failure.

    I beg to differ. The only people who lose when we share resources are the capitalists.

    I’ve got a few friends in their thirties who live with their parents and the whole family is very happy. And although my kids are only six and three, I can’t imagine any reason why I wouldn’t want them to continue living in my house for as long as they needed support.

    We all need support. It’s not a shame. It’s an asset more valuable than property, imho.

      you might be gay and have to move out, assuming they didn’t throw you out as a teen. even if you’re straight your parent’s won’t respect you as an adult if you live with them and impose restrictions on your lifestyle. you also have to appease them in whatever crazy shit they force on you because they can kuck you out if you refuse
