I think it every parent dream to make their kids able to sustain life without dependence on parent care and loving. Being independent to face the world and many faces of human being..

Here most children still stay with their parents when they are college students. They may depend on themselves after they have jobs. However, this is also not usual because the living cost is expensive here. A graduated student may not afford to it. So the common situation is the children may live alone when he/she is married. However, later they may live together since they need their parents to take care of the babies when they go out to work.

I am college students. Now, I am finding corporate offer accomodation so that I will not depend on my parent. Living cost is expensive here too, A graduate student have uneven paying package which very confusing whether getting a college certificate is good for current or just for future

My parents did not kick me out of our house, when I was 19 or even when I was older. They just waited for me to be ready with my studies and looking for a job. They were always very supportive and I appreciated that. The same thing happened with my brothers and sisters and we are all thankful, of course!

I was not. My parents did not do alot to prepare me for the real world. I was very naive when I moved out. If it was not for a boyfriend, who I loved and wanted to marry, I might of never learnt about life! I had always been dependent on my folks. So when I moved in with my boyfriend I became dependent on him! I had no idea how to be on my own! After 6 months he told me we were over and I had to move out! It was hard and a rude awakening! It has not always been easy but I became dependent on myself! I am a better person for what that boyfriend did and I will always be grateful to him for that!

Not me but my father kick my sister when she was in only 14 years of age because father not wants to girl child and my mother born my sister. We all are cried more but no option because my father was very angry men. She was residing in my mother's brother's house but they decided to marry of my sister and only 16 years of age her marriage was fixed but the husband is not good daily beating but now she is okkk because her daughter and son is young. But she really face many problem when father kicked her from house. We cant forget those days. I think govt. should apply some rule against those people who are not want to girl child or destroy the girl in the womb.

It it true that every country has it own culture. I am not proving wrong of the actions of few people. It is not okay with that policy and when government did not intervene with such society problem.

No, I never kicked any of my kids out and never would. I did however, raise them to be independent and so they left on their own. At times, they have all moved back for a time but the goal was always for them to be able to survive on their own. I think that as parents, that is our job....teach them to live and survive on their own.

Hi rotloi2, No, my parents did not kick me out of the house, in fact, they hated to see me go, and I was welcomed back home at any time. I treated my own kids the same and am happy to say that they have happy lives of their own today. Still, they know that they would be welcomed home even today. I cannot imagine any parent kicking their child out of the house - at any age. Blessings.

Oh. Its the opposite. Here at home is even we're old like 30 years plus, they still do not want their child to be independent. I am not referring to all parents. Some of them. That is the reason why some us are already crowded inside the house even though they're already married, they still want their child to stick with them.

Why must a child be kicked out when he/she is 19 years old to make him/her independent? I am a father. I would like my children to forever stay with us until the day I die. Staying with us does not mean that he/she is not independent. In fact, my son earns more than me and he could have bought himself another house but for the love he has had for us, he stays to be with us. To be able to stand on his/her own two feet is something all adults should be doing. But it does not need to be staying outside of the house to show that he/she is independent.

No, I was not, I can live there as long as I want but I need to look for a job since at 19 I was already graduated in college. I found a job far from my parents and so I did not have any choice that time but to live on my own and produce my daily needs.It felt good because I can now live independently as well as helping my parents too in sending my three younger brothers in college.

I was 30 years old but still has a good relationship with my parents, they would be very sad if I leave the house. They always thinking about their family when we away from them, because we do not know what will happen outside the house. I had learned to take care of myself, being independent was I have to start from now on.

no, it depend on the culture of the country and also depend on the way the parents raised there children. in my country even at the age of 18 years old and above, the children still live with their parents except when they have to study in another places or get a work or job. sometimes even those children who already get married still live under the roof of their parents, and this become the so call extended families. the family grows rapidly so the house is expanded when they have many family members who could not establish themselves interdependently. in the western countries such as in the united states it is a shameful things to stay at parents home as there culture really like to raise children to become independent from parents and able to find a job and get a new place of her own and sometimes renting. so it gives a lot of advantages and disadvantages on the part of the parents and children as well. however there are instances when there adult children get evicted when the economy rapidly collapse and find them selves homeless so they are back to their parents as a fall back support. while, some who like to get fix it by them selves they get homeless and turn to shelter to stay temporarily while waiting for a job to get accepted. they stay that way for along time because of their have pride or their family would no longer accept them so they become a vagabond.

In my country, it is not likely to happen. It depends on the culture, but I do believe that a child can be move out when it is ready. Age is not the reason for them to be pushed away in the family, it is a matter of time.

No , our culture don't do that . We practice extended family , and children can stay as long as they wanted to but mostly here , children left the home if already married but if still single , she can stay or oblige to stay with parents but there is an exemption to this , if having a stable work , she can leave home and have her own house provided one ask permission from her parents. More so if very minor like 19 , a big no no to leave the house . This age needs parents guidance , care and love.

no one kicked me out of the house.. LOL .. in our culture we were not kicked out of the house even we reach 99 years old. LOL. we tend to keep the family together and we tend to keep everyone inside the house, as much as possible. Maybe because the parents believe that the children are not ready yet to be independent. I know, this is culture and still running up to this time.

My parents didn't kick me off when I am 19 year old,but I have to go to the college wehen I am about 20.The college is a little far away from my home.It takes me around 5 hours to go back home. I should say at the first beginning,I got homesick often and always cried when I was thinking of my family.But as time goes on, I learn to be more and more independent.This is the necessary part we have to go through.
