In India living with parents is common. I'm 17 still living with my parents and my dad's 40 still living with his dad. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Our parents provide for us until we are able to make money, they provide for every need of ours from education to food,clothes. In return when our parents grow old we provide for them when they are not able to. Rather than sending our parents to old age home, we take care of them. The children of the family give them love they deserve and the elders give them the care. For teenagers, our parents believe that they should take care of us. Instead of drinking and making money for daily necessities, we should study.

As a person who lived with my parents before marriage, I lived with my parents and gave them living expenses every month(although I have been unemployed period), voluntarily washed and cleaned the dishes of my family, and was in charge of the laundry. Living at home, I used to fix drywall, change light bulbs, and repair roofs, and I gave them more cash for electricity bills for air conditioners in summer, and heating bills in winter too. Rather than being ashamed to live with your parents, it is more important than anything else to maintain a balanced life that is not broken economically and mentally by anyone as a family member. Don't let your parents worry about you not coming out all day in the basement or small room. By doing some things for the house, then creating small values, and keeping them.

And I'd be inclined to agree if there is a background of abuse within the parent-child-relationship, be it physical or psychological. The space of living naturally also may be of issue. Job too. For the vast majority there are socio-cultural reasons why to move out. Being brain washed by Hollywood movies really does play one very big role in it. What I'm saying is, the "growing up" is way more often than not an argument adopted and made without ever really thinking about it. After all, who would dare to argue against "growing up"? It's the kill-argument that only holds ground as long as it is not challenged.

If you get along with your parents then that's great. It's also great if your parents even still have a place big enough for you to live in as well. Some people need their own space though and their own independence to grow as an adult. There's no right answer, just what's right for you.

Living with parents is a blessing since day by day they are growing old and it's good to support them during their old ages.

Isn't it widespread AND traditional throughout Asia and South America? It's partly to care for parents, partly to reduce unnecessary spending in anticipation of getting married. In the Philippines, everyone I know lived with their parents when they were single (if they worked nearby). Because living on your own doubles the cost of living. Triple, even, since you also have to send a portion of your income to help your elderly parents for groceries and stuff. They only moved out once they got married (usually late 20s to early 30s). And in most cases, they still lived very close to their parents (usually the women's parents). In more than a few cases, they just build another house within the family land, basically turning it into a compound. Though most kids do have a period of independence during college. Because they usually went and lived in a city temporarily for school. But almost everyone comes back to the family house. Unless they got married early, or they got a job soon after graduating in the cities. Still, a lot of them end up moving back to their hometowns when they reach their 40s or 50s, for the simple reason that their parents are becoming too old to live on their own. And it allows them to spend time with their grandkids, and vice versa, before it's too late. Most also want their kids to grow up in the same environment that they did. Since cities are not exactly ideal for raising kids. I personally prefer the living with the parents arrangement. It allows you to spend far more time with them as they grow older. I shudder to think of the nursing home culture in the west. Seeing your kids like twice a year, if you're lucky, and then you die.

That said I can only speak for ourselves as there are not many El Salvadorans here in my Canadian community. Too many North American families have that notion you need to move out once you turn eighteen or twenty one. In places like Ontario/ California/ New York and various other cities you’re spending more on rent/ utilities/ food than you are saving and many of those who do move out discriminate or are biased against those who live with their families without thinking about differing cultures. I think it’s a European/ North American arrogance more than anything else.

Setting aside cultural reasons, if you look at it financially it makes more sense to live with your parents. Though there's the social stigma of needing to live on your own. The problem is that even if you do move out and live on your own, many people end up coming back home because of the way the economy is. So if you think about it long term, it would be better to stay with your parents instead of risking all of that money trying to live on your own; especially when you could avoid that all together. It's not just a Korea thing. In the US (as I mentioned and mentioned in this video) many people might want to move out for a variety of reasons. But financially it might not be the best idea given the housing prices and the cost of living being ridiculously high these days, and then (as mentioned in the video) the issue of self discipline. Having all of this freedom you might get sucked into some bad habits.

What's wrong in it? We all should take care of our parents in their old age. Remember when they were always there for us in every step of our life and never abandoned us? It's our responsibility to love and care for them back. I hope everyone realises this❤️

When you live by yourself you can visit your parents after work for dinner or every weekends to help them out with what they need, don't make excuses saying that work has kept you busy from visiting.

From my point of view, the habit that North American parents have of throwing their children out into the street once they grow up always seemed abnormal to me. I used to watch Hollywood movies, they always showed as something shameful for parents the fact of having their adult children still in the house. Coming to a country, the custom is that the children leave the house when they get married or get a stable job, as in Asian countries. In many Latin American countries, due to the problem of poverty, it is normal to live in multigenerational homes, grandparents act as caregivers for grandchildren while parents can work quietly and at the same time these parents help their elderly financially. In the end, it is family cooperation that is what that allows to survive

I'm from the Netherlands and here it's pretty normal to move out between the ages 18-23. Us Dutch people just value freedom and independence, even if it's a little bit of a struggle financially. I'm 28 now, I've lived alone for 7 years now and I really enjoy having my own place, without anyone disturbing my peace or personal routines. Usually I visit my parents every 2 or 3 weeks for a weekend, or 3-4 days around the holidays. It's not that I don't love my family, it just that if I stayed there for longer than a week I'd probably go mad lol.

I've lived abroad before but after that I went back to living with my parents and right now I am 25. I am having quite a hard time living with them and my 18 year old sister is having the same issue.. I don't see the point of moving out when everything is so expensive, but it's getting really tiring arguing with them about useless things. They tell me I am using the house like a hotel even though I help with chores so many hours a week (probably more than when I lived by myself) and I do it whenever I see they need help. I do it gladly because they are my parents, but it hurts when they don't recognize that and just make me feel bad. I am Kurdish and in our culture you don't really move out until you are married but since I grew up in the Netherlands it's a little bit different. My mom has said before that she wants me to be independent but I don't think it makes sense for her to say that because of our culture and religion.

I'm half Arab and I understand that Middle Eastern parents can be challenging to live/interact with. If your emotional well-being and mental health is taking a toll, it could be an option to move out.... It won't be easy and there will be hurdles to hop over, especially with finances and daily expenses. In the meantime, you could start saving up (without telling anyone) until you're ready. I don't know what support there is in Holland, but I get the impression it's similar to the UK, with social and public services available to young people. All the best.

It the norm here in India to live with our parents until you are not married or you have to move to some other city for education or job. It definitely saves a lot of money plus you take care of each other.

After you graduated from university and lived with parents, did they have their own rules in the house that you had to follow? No family conflicts at all? Sometimes I heard young adults argue with parents because they don't feel want to listen to what parents say.

Living and staying with parents when children turned adults already very common, especially in Asia like Taiwan, Japan and Korea. Even kids who turned adults and had their kids later on, they could still stay and live with their parents. Money could be a reason, because of housing prices that they cannot afford, best way is to stay with parents until they can buy new houses. Or, they stay so they can take care of their parents when parents getting older.

Some of best years of my life is when I got married and my wife and I had nothing. We struggled but we eventually did very well. We learned sacrifices.

I'm 22 and I live with my mother in California. I haven't moved out because my university is closer to my house so it's less expensive to live with my mother. Plus, I don't have a job and am not yet financially independent so I can't afford to move out. Plus, even if I can sustain myself financially, I still prefer to live with my mother because it is more convenient, less expensive, also less lonely. I can pool resources with my mother, my mother can cover some living expenses for me, and I have someone to hang out with. Plus, if I moved out, that would mean I have to part with my 30 stuffed animals at home~

I live in the west and there's a stigma with adults living with their parents, I just don't understand it. I moved out of home at 17 and recently moved back in with my mom at 31. She's now a widow and reaching retirement age. I want to be there for her, I don't like the thought of having her live by herself as she ages.

In other words, as long as they're contributing by helping with housework and helping financially instead of becoming a burden to their parents, then I think that's fine.

I remember when I was in Korea for a months. Girlfriend's parents were so nice to let me stay with them in their house. Nice memories.

It's considered normal in Asia for an adult or adults to still live with their parents. Not all adult children can afford to either rent or buy housing and the price of living can be costly, and it's much cheaper to just live with their own families. To each their own, I guess.

In Italy it's normal living with your parents if you're alone or they need your help because they're older, but overall the problem is the low salary, and the highest price for rent or the impossibility of buying and house. for this reason a lots of young or quite young people living with their parents, it's not a choice, its a need, and I think it's the same in korea.

I'm ok with my decision and I don't have any regrets. well I had to interrupted my study for two years, but when she'll be better I'll come back to university. this is my experience, but even if my mom is fine, here there's a lots of problem to find a works, and consequently it's hard paying a rent. this is one of the majority reason why young adults live with their parents. thanks for this video.

This is well and good when you get along with your family. When they love and support you. However with any kinds of abuse or bad boundaries it can be chaotic.

There shouldn’t be judgement either way as long as what is happening is healthy.

10000000%. Having roommates was amazing.

I think it's in general symbiotic for grown children to live with their parents, assuming they are indeed "grown up" and know to be responsible and to reciprocate. Family would be kept close, and there'd be much cost savings. But in any case, there's a big con just like the guy at 3:11 mentioned, that his prospective mates would not like it.

Did not expect to hear many Koreans live with their parents well into adulthood. Personally I like that I have a shared cultural aspect even though I’m on the other side of the world. I should make friends with more Koreans.

I do not have a good relationship with my mother who basically sees me as a failure in her eyes. I didn't move out till I was like 28 or 29. My oldest brother moved out when he was 20-21 for school and then never needed to come back. I did live away from my parents for school but then needed to come back home. Whether you should move out or not depends on the child. You shouldn't be living with your parents if it is an excuse to do the minimum. This stunts your growth as a person. But the person is working hard contributing and saving money for the day you will move out then I see no problem with stay at home with your parents as it is a huge financial boost. Unfortunately the number of people who are completely self motivated and self driven are not as many as the number of people who take the path of least resistance. The possibility of living on your own for a few years and then coming back could be a good compromise in this day and age.

NOT TRUE. I don’t know anyone who has done that! Usually when they turn 18 they go to college and live in a dorm. They live at home during holiday breaks and summer breaks. And it is common for them to move back in wjth parents until they have a steady income. It would be considered bad parenting to through your child out of the house with no resources or help when they turn 18 “just cause.”

In the Philippines living with parents is quite normal and once you start earning you get to share house expenses too. I moved out when I turned 18 for college and since then I've been living on my own but if given a chance I would prefer living with my parents. My father is gone now and I regret not spending time with them more. When I landed a good job I made my parents move in with me but it didnt last long coz they prefer living in the countryside. I dont want to live in my hometown coz I wont get a decent job back there. I would however love visiting the place where I grew up. It was a dilemma and I chose what I wanted. In short I am kind of selfish and I felt guilty.

I'm Greek-American. Traditionally in a Greek family, you live with your parents until you get married (unless you move away to study or job offer). Also, then when your parents are elderly and of age or health where they can't take care of themselves, they usually live with their children. I married at 25, and lived at home until I married. Now my elderly Mom lives with us since she had some health problems.

American here. Many young people go to college or technical schools after high school and live in dorms coming home to live at mom and dads for the summer. Some get internships and live in provided housing. Once graduated it is still the norm to strike out on your own, most parents continue to provide some assistance in form of keeping kids on health insurance, paying car insurance etc. even though they may not live under their parents roof they know if they “fall”, mom and dad will provide a soft landing

Ma situation n'est pas du tout représentative de la majorité des français mais le reportage montre quelque chose de tellement différent par rapport à ma vision des choses que je ne peux m'empêcher de réagir. N'y voyez aucun jugement de ma part, juste un sincère étonnement et une reflexion toute personnelle. Je suis partie de chez moi (mi-paniquée, mi-soulagée) à 17 ans. Je précise que nous vivions avec maman dans la précarité et que grâce à ça je n'ai jamais eu peur d'être pauvre ou de manquer. Je n'avais déjà rien donc que pouvait-il m'arriver de pire ? Aussi, en France, sauf si on n'est vraiment pas débrouillard, on ne meurt pas de faim et on peut avoir un toit au dessus de la tête. J'ai de la chance d'etre née en France. Aussi, je me souviens avoir supplié ma mère de m'envoyer en internat vers 13 ans car je n'arrivais pas à contruire mon identité en étant "sous son contrôle". Je vivais un calvaire intérieur. J'ai 35 ans aujourd'hui, un bon travail à l'université, un logement en plein coeur de Paris, et pourtant vivre à 2, je l'envisage avec difficulté tellement l'indépendance m'est importante. J'ai été mariée 7 ans et je me sentais "emprisonnée". Je suffoquais mentalement. Ce sentiment d'asphyxie était tellement fort qu'il me consumait à petit feu. J'en ai conclu que la vie, pour moi, c'est être libre d'être moi-même et je ne peux l'être si on m'impose trop de choses dans l'endroit qui est supposé être mon refuge, mon chez moi. Je n'envisage pas le couple/la famille/l'amitié comme un contrat avec des devoirs et partages de richesses mais comme une relation faite de respect et d'amour mutuel. Malheureusement, le quotidien dans sa réalité matérielle créé plus de problèmes que de belles choses de mon côté. LOL ! On dirait le témoignage d'une asociale ! 😂 Je ne le suis pas du tout ; au contraire ! J'adore découvrir d'autres personnes, d'autres horizons.

I moved out (UK) when I was 16, I was working and attending school and since then have lived alone whilst my younger brother moved out in his 20s. In our case we lived with our mum since our parents were divorced and lived on separate continents.

I'm from the Philippines. Some of us still stay with our parents until we get married. I guess I am blessed to have my parents' guidance and support until I became financially stable.

Wellcome to INDIA🇮🇳....if we and our oarey live in the same city then we live together in the same house because we believe family is incomplete without our Parents..... even after marriage we live with our parents because HOME IS WHERE OUR PARENTS ARE🫶🏼🫶🏼

I’m surprised they didn’t mention lack of freedom more. I’m 28, from Portugal and still live with my parents. They are like the korean parents, where they dont want me to move out right away. However, I feel that they are over protective and I dont have a lot of freedom, and I want to move out soon, sharing a house with others so its cheap. Of course it’s not ideal but I think it’s still better.

I'm from the U.S , me (29) and my siblings from 4 siblings (26 to the eldest being 33) we still live with our parents. We bought a house so we can all live together. I feel these days living alone is difficult with the work and even the rent is to high

30 in France , here. I moved out at 24 in order to go study in another country. Now that I got my diploma, i'm looking for a job, and the question to move back at my mum's place is real : as long as i just have some odd jobs, it's hard to be financially stable enough to have my own home. But i also don't want to burden my mum who also have a very low income and wishes to keep the house my dad and her struggled to get. It's in a countryside, so i know i could not find a job there in my field of expertise. So, i think that despite not having a job, i'll probably keep struggling in my city in order to get a job rather than going back to my mum's.

Parents would be angry if I told them I want to rent a place and move out, they would take it as "oh so you don't want to live with us now". But it'd be a different story if I buy my own house and move out (instead of renting), they will be very proud.

Beautiful Video as a parents 🤭

I'm of Arab British heritage, born and raised in London. I moved out at 26, which I thought was late... ( it wasn't ideal, and far from easy, but I had to do that for my own wellbeing and sanity, let's say! ). That was nearly a decade ago, and it has been a rollercoaster ride of experiences and painful growth that I don't think I would have gone through, if I just got complacent and stayed with my late Arab mother. Again, I stress that it wasn't easy, even up to now, but now that know who I am and what I can do for myself, I wouldn't swap it for anything! Even on the bad days and when money is tight! Don't get me wrong, yes there are downsides, but after the various hurdles, as people we can adapt well to our (changing) circumstances, and naturally learn to become more self-sufficient. Now I just enjoy the solitude. I think it's a matter of being comfortable of what you choose, and the lifestyle you're leading. If you choose to live with your parents without family pressure and societal expectations, that's great 👍. And if you choose and have the financial means to move out, that's ok too. It's about knowing our own circumstances well and making an informed choice based on the options available to us. That's what adulthood is all about - making informed decisions about our own lives, and being responsible for whatever consequences result from that. ***** Doppleganger: Wow! Long comment! Me: I know!

I don't see anything wrong with that, they're family after all, as long as they can provide for their parents and for themselves it's all good

Growing up in post comunist Romania, when everyone had a job, women and men, since early life we were encouraged to move out when we finished school. Most of us from small towns decided to remain in the cities where we studied or move to bigger cities in search for job. As much as I love my parents they were still young so I guess they deserved to enjoy life without me and my brother :) I left the country but my brother still lives in the same town and traditionally families are very close even if they don't live together... grandparents look after grandkids, children look after parents and support them with doctors, shopping, house work. Living in UK now I see how hard it is not having the support system a traditional family offers, especially if you have kids

it’s different for countries or cities with lots of land and rental is affordable and makes sense for cutting transit times to commute to work. for cities where rental is very high and commute times are short, then it doesn’t make sense to move out. eg cities like Seoul and Singapore vs some cities in the US

I am from Pakistan, here parents will provide for you till y'all die if that's what you want. I am so grateful to be here💗.

The Koreans who live with their parents are mostly unmarried, but in the Philippines many Filipinos who have a family of their own still live with their own parents.

In the Philippines it’s pretty normal to bring your parents with you even when you get married lol. Nursing homes aren’t huge here, the only ones I know aren’t commercial, they’re all charity-run. Grandparents also participate in childcare. If you have a good relationship with your parents, I don’t think it’s an issue. When you live with your parents, the idea is you participate in enriching your household. You’re not supposed to be a burden. I think in the US that’s not exactly their idea of living with parents, that’s why they call it “failure to launch”.

There should be interview around Why American parents kick their kids out as soon as they turn 18 ?

It's part of our culture.. we can't leave our parents who took care of us alone .. it's blessing to see them home while i return from 9-5 duty.. ..

I'm from Egypt, and it's pretty normal for children to stay with their families until they get married. culture, i work for an international company and the US folks usually ask and get very surprised when they know that a lot of people live with their parents here

It's very common in most in Asia I think. It is quite common here in ths Philippines too.

Same here in Indonesia! Eastern/Asian Culture is noble in term of How we care of our parents and treat people

Here in India we always live with our parents and we take care of them once they become old.

In Italy it is totally normal to live with parents till old age because the salaries are very low and the unemployment rate is high and almost nobody can afford an house

In Asia it's common to live with parents, being out in the world at age of 18 itself bring many dangers. It's definitely American culture to be out in the world without your parents at a young age of 18 when you should instead be focusing on your career to make your parents proud one day. And living with parents even in your 20 s and 30 s is not a big deal as you start to take financial responsibility in your hands and can even take care of your parents. Because at old age all parents need is their child's time not money.

In india we live with our parents and our grandparents too, and i don't even think about to leave my grandparents and parents, in indian society and culture it's significance of good secrament or something like this, we believe that our parents needs us bcoz they r old and it's our responsibility to take care of them bcoz they gave us everything when we were child and now we earning and can't take care of our parents it's should be shame for yourself and i Love 😘 my family they love me .

it's normal here in the Philippines even my sister and her husband and kids live with my parents

My cousin in Korea who’s around my age and earns less than I do (GDP difference), has so much more saved up than I do because he was able to stay at his parents place and save money on housing. And I consider myself as a frugal person

Don't treat our parents as emergency funds they have to save up money for their retirement. But then also parents shouldn't be treating children like retirement funds since they have their own life and own family to raise one day.

Very similar to Turkey. Most of the Turkish people only move out if they're studying or working in a different city. And Turkish parents are totally okay with it. I think family bonds are way different in Asian and Eurasian countries.

Selen, what is the retirement age for Turkey ? And is it common that son or daughter who retired from the work lives with their parents? Like parents very old like 90 years old, and son is like 60 something and is asked to live with mother...

@@asianprince8718 Not too common cause Turkish people mostly getting married when they get a stable life and starting their own families. But when they got divorce yeah, they tend to live with their parents again, especially women. Retirement age is 60 as i know.
