The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Melbourne, concluded that the changing nature of family living situations often led to avoidable conflict. Associate Professor Cassandra Szoeke and Katherine Burn, from the University's Faculty of Medicine, Health and Dentistry Sciences, examined both 'boomerang kids' (those who return home) and 'failure to launch' kids (those who never left).
The project reviewed 20 studies involving 20 million people worldwide was published in Maturitas. The research shows:
The shifting economic climate and changes in social norms were driving the phenomenon of kids staying at home for longer.
The main reasons for young adults choosing to remain at home were for stability and additional support while they transition to university or employment.
Divorce, unemployment and health problems often led to children returning. This return under negative circumstances can heavily impact on the wellbeing of everyone in the household.
Parents who are well-educated, married and well-off tend to have children who stay home longer, whereas children who grow up in households with a single parent, or step-parent, or didn't finish high school, tend to leave early.

Shut up. Not everyone who stays home is a pussy. Most people who left home left because their home life was shit or there wasn't much of a home to begin with. Not many people in those conditions get very far in life. From there it was the military or one shit job after another. The military people used the GI bill to the fullest and went to college or vocational school. So in essence, the military was simply an extension to living at home and being cared for.
And lets be honest here. Kids who stay home longer with well educated parents aren't pussies. They are smart. The family works together to ensure the kids are educated, obtain a good job and save money. Their foundation is strong.
You just sound butt hurt you didn't get the same chance so you insult them.
Kids who never left? The parents don't give a fuck about them.

No, not everyone, just most of them. At 18 you are an adult and should be acting like one. That means supporting yourself not mooching off the rents, no matter how much they're willing. Anyone costing their parents money after their 18th birthday gets zero respect from me as a human being.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
