    Having to move out of your parents place the second you turn 18 is this weird Anglo, capitalist ideal that needs to die.

      It is designed to make sure you are unable to care fornyour self well, pay extra for everything, and prevents the development of authentic cultural identity so disney becomes your real parents.

        and prevents the development of authentic cultural identity so disney becomes your real parents.

        The sad part: it has worked extremely well on millions of people

      I've seen these people who live with their parents into adulthood and have children. It sucks. You're under your parents' thumb for everything. Particularly your wife who doesn't even get to live with her parents, she gets to live with some strangers she didn't marry. Of course, she never does anything right according to the grandparents. Free babysitting, I guess, right? Sure, if you want your kid spoiled and taught ridiculous superstitions while you're at work.

      When you live with your parents until adulthood, you're never independent. All you are is an appendage of "the family". You have no existence for yourself. Oh, and just wait until other people notice and start dropping off their kids on you because you seem to be responsible and they never wanted kids anyway, just had them because they were expected to.

        I don’t know many cultures that expect married couples to live in their parents house. Usually it’s just the kid who gets to live there until they get married

          Nah, it's an entire extended family living together. It was the human norm until the individualist West changed it. It still is the norm in many countries across the world.
