hello, It is not bad to live with your parents , until your not married, or you decided to live in some apartment. Did you hear something from them? when you still living at their house?. It is alright as long as you help them in some bills or any expenses. My sister also still living in our home like you and it is much better to us because even though that she is busy we get bond to each other. dont be confuse because they are your parents they are not other people

It depends, how are you feeling about it? If you feel it might be a problem it's time to start looking for a new place to live. I think if you're going to school and saving money by doing it but helping your parents out it's okay. Or if you're doing it to save in general, but there is a point where no person wants to be the date brought over to the house where the parents are also living.

It's not bad, though some may think that it's kinda ugly to see us still living with our parents cause I still do. LOL Well in some other country it is KINDA required, or something to be separated with your parents when you reach in certain age. hmm.. or maybe? lol.. :) Did you watch the movie "Failed to Lunch"? it's a story of a guy who is one 30's that still living with his parents. :) You should watch it. it's good :)

Other culture lets their children to be independent when they turn 18 years old or something like that. But if your in our country, parents would love their children to stay with them even if they have their own families. So for me, there's nothing wrong being 23 already and still living with your parents. Just don't be such a pain in the ___

In our culture, it can't really be considered as bad. So long as you don't have your own family yet and so long as you are capable of chipping in to the household expenses and you are not bringing in extra headache to your parents, then you are all good. It is actually beneficial to most of us. While the child is at home, there will be someone who will look after the parents. The child also is more capable of saving up since he need not bother himself to pay for his rent. The moment you move out there are extra expenses you have to pay unlike when you live with your parents, the house you called and have known as your "home".
