It was more of a push from the military and colleges so they could give loans to children...loans that cannot be forgiven
rbudrick
I leftat 30.didnt help that I was robbed if 11 grand a few years prior by my crackhead junkie brother.
zerapheus
I got kicked out at 18 cause "that's what their parents did to them, and their parent's parents did... etc"

My childhood was good, but I won't even live in the same state as any of my family members. I can control when we visit and how long
ThailandExpress
yourbassist
I don't follow the use of 10 here but there's plenty of parents that are glad to get their kids out at 18.
ameranthe
In most cultures, it's perfectly normal for multiple generations to all live under one roof. In a way, we've let the myth of
ameranthe
rugged individualism deprive us of living within supportive family units, where every generation is cared for.
Trunkmonkay
Or people are sick of living with their fuckin parents after 18+ years
JaromirAzarov
Kids should leave home when it makes sense. I moved out when I went to university. Wasn't always easy but it helped me grow up...
TheHappyCreator
Idk, trying to date and have sex can be pretty awkward when living with your parents.
florpglorp
Well I am 25 and I have lived with my parents my whole life. At some point I would like my own room and independence to transition.
Merlin1179
Not true. It’s so mom and dad can have sex on the couch at 7pm again.
lu5t
ngl, couldn't pay me enough to live with my parents
drduffer
I have some younger friends living in a multi-generational household (grandma, parents and toddler) and I guarantee they hate it. Choices!
incubisexual
I wanted to leave as soon as possible, iirc, but only because my parents are good people but fucking awful roommates
ElBarbu
As always, Italians do it better, just stay until you're at least 30
JoeMorgue
Nope fuck that. Stop trying to remarket "Perpetual childhood" into some hippy commune bullshit.
MoonMoon89
I left my parents home two weeks after graduating high school, never went back. It depends on how bad the home environment is. I needed out.
vodkaho
I didn't even wait to graduate. Got a GED and shipped out. Had to go...
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I left because there was no university in my city. No choice if I wanted to get a degree (which I very much did want).
drh1138
Part of that same psyop is segmenting families into small units where abuse and toxicity go unchallenged.
nlky
People are taught to be bad parents as part of the same psyop.
emilytangerine8910
I left the day I graduated highly school. It was bad. I needed out.
risqueorindecent
This. I was disowned by the family for joining the military. They all told me I was stupid and a "cop out" from going to college
CuntCrotchula
My home env wasnt like actively bad, but i was real fucking sick of living with my dad. His anxiety just like radiated outward, and i have /
CuntCrotchula
plenty of anxiety myself, so it was not great. My blod pressure plummeted when i went to college and was out of the house
reynoldser
For real, my mom told my sister and me that she couldn't wait till we were gone daily since we were 6 years old. Staying past 18.. nah.
jdcream
I had a good home env. Moved out a month before starting college at 18. Moved back after dropping out a year later. Moved out a year later /
jdcream
And never looked back. Been fending for myself for almost 20 years. Couldn't be happier at where I am in life rn. But, it took a lot of /
jdcream
Work to be where I am.
ioscius
i left around 17 and a half and never came back, and my home environment was awesome, supportive, warm, and safe. it was just time...
FuckmotheringxVampire
I think it's good to leave home and forge your own path at some point but there isn't a point to the stigma behind people living with family
diesel01
We’ll, there’s a point. It’s just not a good point.
FuckmotheringxVampire
Your mom's not a good point
FuckmotheringxVampire
Especially now when home ownership is just a dream for most people and rent is completely unaffordable
afatrollofmyown
For my cousins, they moved out, and put tiny homes in the yard. Yard wasn't real big, but they manage.
eetsumkaus
Hell of a conspiracy take. In the West it's normal to leave at 18 because it's relatively easy to do so. Other countries, not so much
Tarmaccian
It’s interesting to me how many of the “banks are bad” talking points quickly turn into “bankers are bad”, soon followed by “Jews are bad”…
afroniner
I'm moving back in with my wife. I'm 31
Dancingtuxedoman
And thats okay, because thats what family is for.
afroniner
Ok that's my fault for horrible grammar. My wife and I are moving back in with my parents at the age of 31
IHateApostrophes
Your parents are only 31?
Awmph
that sounds much smarter than the first sentence did
afroniner
Hahaha thanks
wandermanspacebot
Nah, it's just our shitty culture. This is a cute theory, but there's absolutely nothing behind it.
cardinal29
I wanted privacy, for sex!! That's why people move out. It's not a conspiracy
whatseventhepoint
It’s a pretty specious argument. Might as well say it’s the bread companies forcing you buy more loaves of bread
NERDRAGEohacat
It also ignores the fact that nuclear families are a product of the Cold War as a way to create more resistance towards socialist views.
wandermanspacebot
That's maybe one of the worst analogies I've ever heard, so I guess you have that going for you. Central banks aren't our culture (yet).
ayers231
My neighbor has three generations under one roof. They paid off their house in 11 years. They live the high life together.
ayers231
If you still work as a family, do it. I hope my kids stay with us until they can afford to just buy a house with cash...
sambaah05
To each his own. That's not what I would want for me.
Cucumbawumba
I'd rather be broke than live with my family lol. But yeah we should ditch the idea that living with parents is inherently shameful once 18
ayers231
Spending college loan money on inflated rent, then paying 7% interest on it seems like a bad investment. People are free to do as they choos
NunyaBNess1
Agreed. It doesn't have to be parents though; I live, and share expenses, with my brother because we get along. I'd strangle my sister.
ahorseelbowdeepinme
Fuck that, my kids need to go. The Missus and i got plans
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
godspeed friend

ahorseelbowdeepinme
Awmph
once they're 18, just stop coming quietly. Nature will work itself out after that
ahorseelbowdeepinme
... stop?
RagingNorseman
10?
paulwall117350
Four grandparents, two parents, a few kids. It's not a stretch.
RagingNorseman
So, when should they move out...?
paulwall117350
If you want to build generational wealth like rich people, then probably never; You should be pooling resources into a mcmansion like them.
paulwall117350
As an example I've observed in my own profession, hibachi, when normal income people come in, it's just a small family unit, and they order
paulwall117350
a normally priced meal, because that's all they can afford. But when rich people come in, it's a table of 10+, because these crackers stack
Awmph
my little fuckers are welcome to stay as long as they're good room mates. Hang out save up some money or w/e
LadyLink
Same with my gobliiins. I'll just throw some caravans in the yard or whatever. Shits hard and if that's easier I give no shits.
akspartankiiier
Can I also be your little fucker?
Awmph
ok, but you'll hafta share the couch w/ the dog (if she'll let you)
akspartankiiier
Deal. I’ll also provide a dog lol
blindedTrickster
My dog just shat on my carpet... can she come too?
RunicRasol
I left when I was 23, after multiple failed plans & attempts to get out. Eventually ran off with a stranger from the internet /1
RunicRasol
Nothing says "get out" like having your parent's meth dealer show up & wave a gun in your face looking for their money. /2

ahorseelbowdeepinme
How's that going?
RunicRasol
Well, its been 17+ years.. so pretty well overall. Parents cleaned up, but still keeping them at arms length.
ahorseelbowdeepinme
Nice, glad you found a good internet stranger
WaterUnderTheRocketAppliances
Did the internet stranger murder you?
tavinjer
Twice, I believe
