Question

Until what age do you think children should live with their parents?

Answer 1

until marriage or a bit after.  

Answer 2

Till 18 would be fine. but actually even if they start living separately; their childhood and till 18 should have been spent with you in such a manner that they keep coming back to you both for happiness and advice cuz come what may; they are still very young at the age of 18 and need honest assistance regarding every walk of life. and where else to find honesty,love and truthfulness a 100%  but ones own parents home.  

Answer 3

Depends on what country you live in. In the US, where rentals are cheap, kids usually move out after high school. In Italy, where rentals are expensive, ppl often live with their parents into their thirties. It's basically down to economics.

Answer 4

18 unless the parents are abusive.

gives a nice foundation.

also it is not a bad idea for kids 2 move back in with their parents after college  in order to get some more support and get on their feet a little easier. Unless it is hard on the parents.

But really it just depends on what works for everyone involved. Diffrent people need different things eh?

Answer 5

Well, to specify a specific age is really not logical. Though, we know that anybody with an age that ends in "teen" still has a lot to learn/experience, it doesn't necessarily mean they can't be out on their own or that they aren't mature.

I guess it depends on the life of the "kid". I mean, if they are pursuing their education full time, then they should concentrate on their studies and then go out on their own. If they start having children of their own (whatever age-unless, of course we're talking 14, 15 years old) then I think they should definintely start being an adult and move out of mom's house.

I moved out right after turning 18 and I think that was a huge mistake. My little brother is 19 and works and is going to school, so he's still home and that's perfectly understandable to me...unless he were to start making babies...then it would be his own responsibility to be the "man" he wants to believe he is!  

Answer 6

18 if going away to school. 22 You should be getting your own place. or 22+ you need to contribute to the bills, if you are not in school. by 24 if you are not married, you need your own place.  

Answer 7

19-21, if they kick them out at 18 with so little time to find a place to stay and a job then they would pretty much be screwed.  

Answer 8

until they want to  

Answer 9

There is no age which is written in stone as to when a child should leave home.  Society tells us this age and that age, but, this is all between the individual parent and child.  Some children never leave home for one reason or another and some children, well, the never stayed at home for one reason or another, so as you can see, or as you will see when you have children, there are many reasons for and for not, but again, it all depends -  the age thing varies.    God Bless.

Answer 17

between 19-20.

Because when your 18 your graduating and looking 4 college, i would make sure i know 4 sure i can live on my own

19-20 is good cause your either in college and have a job or just have a job.

Answer 18

^_^ haha, i looked at this question first and they put excactly wut i was gonna put.

haha!! 18 or 19.

Answer 19

I don't think we can fix a some age for this.  If someone comfortable with parents he can live for lifelong but if there are probs he must live alone but definitely this should not be before 18.

Answer 20

18 or when they leave for college or when they get knocked up

Answer 21

18 unless they have a really bad home-life.  

Answer 22

18-20 unless they are in collage or are trying to better themselves in some way but they need to at least start trying to support themselves at 20 if they aren't in collage or something like that

Answer 23

18 or when they leave for college

Answer 24

i believe that you should live with your parents until you finish school and the year after that if you are planning on not going to college or just taking  a year off. It's a lot harder to find a job than you think and if you live a home with a job its a chance to save money and if you have no job it gives you a year to find one without issues of rent or new flat mates or anything like that
