Or do u think it's not embarrassing at all . |

| Define "still live with your parents". Meaning you sit your ass on the sofa all day while your parents are putting food on the table or you have found yourself a job but still live with your parents? |
| In the Philippines, it's not really considered "embarrassing" to still live with your parents until you're old granted that you have at least a job. You can live with your own family(wife and kids and all that) if you want to. As long as you have a job. |

There is a difference between being smart about your money and living with your parents as you too bring in income, and being a lazy Fuck who isn't looking for a job at all despite being a very capable human being. |

My boyfriend's family is from the Philippines and that is actually something I admired about their culture. Education and having a good job is very important, but they don't see it as a negative thing to live at home still. His sister and cousins have hella good jobs but still live at home. Some Italian families are also okay with their kids still living at home at an older age. My cousins are hella old and still live with their parents, and nobody bats an eye unless they are outside of that culture. |

| If you are a bratty and ungrateful child that only leeches off your parents and do nothing to help, then I'd find it embarrassing even in your early 20s. If you're someone who actively helps your parents, and takes good care of them, either by providing economically or just being a great asset to your family in general, then I find it admirable and I don't think it'd ever be 'embarrassing,' unless you considered it to be so yourself. It depends on how you're living and your circumstances, essentially. |

| At my workplace one of my Supervisors is nearing 30 and she still lives with her parents. She works fulltime and then some (they often have to stay extra hours). It's simply due to her own personal circumstances that she's still living with her mum. I don't think it's embarrassing, because it's not like she's sponging and lazing around all day, being a drain to society. I'm 21 and still living with my parents; a lot of my friends have gotten their own houses and whatnot now. I'd definitely like to get my own little flat to live in, but it simply wouldn't be feasible. Almost everyone my age who's moved out has got kids and was only able to move out due to sponging benefits off the government. I think it's far more embarassing doing that than still living with your parents. As it stands, I'm just earning money and saving it away, rather than moving out right this instant and then struggling to get by each week. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| I'm 18 and I've been independent for quite a while now, meaning I live in my own place, cook my own food, do my own laundry, make my own money, pay my own rent and bills, buy my own groceries, drive myself where I need to go, and take care of myself. Let me tell you, it truly is a much different world than being reliant on your parents and to be quite frank I simply don't have the same level of respect for capable adults who refuse to rutt for themselves. |

Yeah same thought here , here in Sweden we have some immigrants especially Somalis and some kurds /arabs they have like 7 or 6 children's just for benefits .(not being racist here - just a fact ) |

| 24 years old and still living with my parents. I believe that as long as I work a full time job and contribute to the living expenses, there is nothing embarrassing about it. In my country people move out of their parents home only if they need to go study or work in a different town or country, or when they marry or move in with their boyfriend/girlfriend. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| if you graduated high school and you are not paying some sort of 'rent' and not working towards some sort of life plan and are content leeching off your parents... then yes.. you have failed... you should be embarrassed if your parents are retired and are having trouble supporting themselves.. and you subsequently living with them... whether it be your house or theirs... then no.. it is by no means embarrassing.. you are helping and supporting your loved ones in the time of need.. I would rather have my parents live with me than living in some kind of nursing home. |
| I would be embarrassed if i was in my mid 30s |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I would say round 20-25. By then you should have a job and a place to call your own however people can have reasons for living with their parents at that age. |
| When you're getting into your 30's, it'll be embarrassing. |
 |
| 60 years old. At that point your parents should be dead. If you still live with them that's just weird as fuck. |
| 30s I guess..? It depends on each situation, but it's important that the specific person doesn't sit around but actually does something to contribute to the expenses. |
| If your parents' house is large enough for you and your wife to occupy and you're willing to share part of your income for your parents, then i see no problem. Married couple living with their parents is quite a common sight in my place, even sometimes encouraged since it strengthens the bonds between family members. And as such, rather than moving to new place, newly-wed couples often choose to renovate their parents' house to be able to fill more people. |
| Well a average student finishes college at the age of.... 22 I think? So 24-25, around there. |
| I would be embarrassed if I'm in my 30's and still living with my mother. However it's really difficult to go live by yourself in my country this because of the high prices for the houses as well for the rent. The rent eats easily half you're salary, most people avoid to go live alone because of this, it's cheaper to share the rent or if you're parents own the house it's even easier. |
| 30s I guess, although I have two uncles who still live with their parents and have never seen both of them embarassed about it or heard other family members mock about that fact. |
| Considering further education, sometime into the 30s. Even the longest programs should be done by then. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| I think that after you graduate high school, you should try to move out, but obviously there are circumstances and you might need to live at home while going to college, but after graduating college, you should have your own place. |
 |
| I don't know, probably between 25-27. |

| after 25. unless you're family is dirt poor then there's no shame |
| depends, my uncle is like 30 something and he still lives with my grandmother because she has a big house and she's alone, my grandfather died years ago and she is sick so he still lives with her, If i was him i wouldn't be embarrassed a bit by still being at her house + he has a job so he's not sitting there doing nothing |
| Only thing I consider a bit out of place is not having a job or education and still living in a parent's house after 18. |
| Where have I seen this thread ten times before? Answer: It depends. |

It depends on how you're living and your circumstances, essentially. yes, it makes perfect sense that if you're struggling with money (which is the main issue here), that you should give more of your money to your parents instead of saving up to move out. and why are they brats or ungrateful? why does simply getting older make you a brat or ungrateful? a great asset...lol. what does that mean? parents are supposed to take care of their kids. it's not ungrateful just because you're older. |
| Well it depends on the circumstances really but I guess for me it's around 25+ ? Where I live I feel like people look down on you if you don't move out and get a job fast af. Everyone stress it so bad. |
| 16. Here's some more words for mal's character limit even though I've already answered the question in OP. |
 |
| It depends on the persons situation and reasons rather than their age. I dont think it matters. If they have nothing physically or mentally wrong and do not even really like living with their parents as well as their parents not really liking them not being helpful then that is when its bad. |

| In today's economy with rent and housing prices high and pay generally low there is a reason a lot more people in their 40's are moving back home because it makes sense expenses wise. Same for young people if looking to others as embarrassing is more important then the obvious advantages/sense of not moving out till you really are financially and job secure then maybe the people who say its embarrassing don't know good money sense. |
 |
| Depends on where you live, I suppose. In some countries, people live with their parents their whole life. I don't think I could do it, though. So for me, I'd say when you're 25 years old, plus/minus a few, depending on your financial situation. Seriously, if you get a job you should do what you can to keep it. |
 |
| you are never too old to live in your parents basement.... |

But there are young people who take their jobs for granted, since they have the option of being unemployed and live with their parents. I guess my statement was aimed at them. |

| I left my parents as soon as I graduated from college and got a job, with my mom paying my first month of expenses. I can understand why someone would still want to live with their parents after college though. You save money. I won't lie. When someone around the age of 26 or 27 tells me they still live with their parents, I think it's weird. However, everyone's situation is different. You never know why they're living with their parents. Probably lost their job, parents might be ill, who knows? |

Personally though, I'd love to have my own place after graduating uni that's near my workplace. Wouldn't mind bringing my parents along, but they probably wouldn't want to move. |

| I live in a low-income area where it is pretty difficult to survive on minimum wage alone. Because of financial issues, most people I know (myself included) still live with their parents. |
 |
| I'm 21 and I feel like I should have moved out two or three years ago actually. I'm independent but I'm sick a lot and I would've had to take on one or two more jobs besides the one job that I do have. And my working hours are already horrendous so it'd be extremely unhealthy for me. I even got myself an apartment in a city that I really love but after a huge trip that I was on I didn't have enough money left and blah blah.. life sucks but it was the right decision to stay with my parents for now. Especially because they do not mind me being there and enjoy it lots and I help out quite a bunch :) But I'll be out of here as soon as possible. |
