I'd say you should be moved out no later than 25.

Question. What if you're a designated care taker? Mom or dad are in a wheel chair or something. Or failing health. You bunk in their house since you need to be in close proximity to take care of them.

If there's some general agreed upon societal norm of an age to leave, then where does ^^^ that point stand?

I dunno, cuz my mom is trying to keep me as long as she can.
Like, she wants to convert the basement into my room, and I'm like, mom, I don't wanna be a 20-summin year old living in my mom's basement.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

you know, this expectation of people moving out and staking their own claim/forming their family at such a young age didnt develop until after WWII. in america anyway. odd that we'd be so set in stone about this so soon after we began doing it.

my response to the OP would be that you cant answer this without context for individual cases.

On thinking on it, I actually can't really say. It all depends on the context. I'm 22. And, technically still live with my mother. Although I work around and travel a lot, and sleep all over, argueably her restaurant is my main home.

But it's my home, room and board payed, so long as I help. I repair the place. I'm there at least at one point in the day every day in case she needs my help to manage things. And at one point, I'll have to take over for her fully.

And, even though I'm searching for my own property, working and making plans to build, that property is going to be shared by me, her, and her brother.

This is what I do. I stay in close proximity to at least one of my family members all the time because I know they need help. This is something I'm going to be doing well past 25.

I've made it my job to watch out for them until I drop dead.

I guess it does come down to context.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I'd say you might need a kick up the arse by the time you're 30. You may work in the same area as where you're parents live, so it would make more sense to live a tad cheaper with the family and pay some sort of "rent" until you get a job somewhere else or have enough money to live on your own.

Hmm...
If I were to put down an arbitrary number, then it'd be 26, since that's the cutoff for being allowed on your parents' insurance (at least where I live).

You honestly think 18 is too old to be living with your parents still?

Not too old, but it's certainly time to think about moving out. Most people are still in high school when they turn 18, so I'd actually put graduating HS as the point when you're too old.

But you finish High School when you're 18 (in the US at least).
I finished High School when I was 16. That was 3 years ago, and I'm still living at home. There's literally nothing wrong with it.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with it from an ethical standpoint or anything - it's just a bit pathetic and lame.

Eh, I just don't know why anyone would want to tie themselves down to their parents any longer than necessary. I moved out the month after I turned 18.

"it's pathetic and lame because i didn't do it".

There's plenty of reasons for not moving out as soon as you hit 18.

I'd say no later than 23, unless you're paying board to your parents and actually helping to pay for the home.
