Forums - General Discussion - Is it considered embarrassing to live with your parents after a certain age in your culture?

It depends on the individual situation.

If you just lay around the house and have no desire to work or look for a job and are just mooching off your parents than you're a bum.

However if you are contributing to the household or are just down on your luck and cant find a job that pays well enough to support yourself than no shame in it.

I see a trend where many kids are grown in nice suburban lifestyle and feel going out on own to early means a masssive decline in quality of life.

Some mooch of parents, others work and pay portion of bills and save up for a real house.



Enjoy holidays, buy anything you want, pay no rent and have no responsibilities. I see nothing wrong being in your 20s, 30s or even 40s and still living at home with your parents.



lol at least have a job ^^^



You guys have got it all wrong, it's the parent's living with the kids that's the problem, not the other way around , when are they going to get out of the house so the children can have some "quality time" code for sex at home.

There should be a law where once the parent's turn 45 they must leave the house to the stay at home child and have there wages garnisheed to pay for upkeep, plus either mum or dad, I'm not sexist, must turn up at least once a week to do washing and ironing and put out the garbage, also they must be on call for emergencies.

I'd assume the new norm is that after the age of 30 it would get embarrassing to live with your parents since most people should be able to get a college degree by the age of 25 ...

There's too many benefits to ignore living at home in pursuit of individual studies ... 



I'm 24 and I've only recently landed a job that enables me to move out on my own. However, I won't for at least another year or two. Before this job, I had part-time work that would help with the bills. My mother still needs me and I can save a decent amount of money staying here.

I live in Florida. It's somewhat embarrassing here at my age but not a big deal in my experience. I never bring it up though, and most of my friends are college students with less than impressive jobs in the same position. So perhaps it's a bigger deal than I think if I were to discuss this with people outside of my circle.
