How old do you think that your child should be before they move out on there own? Do you think that they should wait untill they are done of school, Or do you believe that they should be able to move out when they feel they are ready to take on the world by them selfs?

A child should move out after they have finished school. It is hard for a child to be able to support themselves while going to school. However after completeing their schooling they should be able to get a job to support themselves. Continue to live at home while saving up the money for their own place.

I believe a child should at least finish their schooling . There is no need to move out to early as once they are out on their own they will realize how life is so totally different from what they expected . Things are usually much easier at home when you have mom and dad paying the bills . Many children are under the impression that once they move our and don't have to follow the rules that this will somehow make their lives easier but the truth is even as adults we have rules we have to follow and if we don't follow them the consequences are much more severe then not following the rules at home . Once a child has his or her education , I don't see why they shouldn't move out and learn to do things on their own but before then , I don't see any benefit to them as when they move out , chances are good that if they haven't finished high shcool then they won't :)

I would say that they have to finish school first. Then they would have to get a job and prove they can pay for living on there own. Then they could move out.

I feel very strongly that they are welcome here until they are strong enough and ready to be on their own. I hear other people's opinions but I noticed we all had one answer in common and that is finish school. I guess where I am goign with this is that I feel I need to give them all the tools they need before I toss them out of the nest because I brought them here and owe it to them.
