6. Letting children go is too difficult.

Moving out of your parents' house can be an emotional event. Your parents and siblings are happy for you and your new life, but are sad to see you go. Some even confess that letting children go feels like tearing their arm from its socket.

Perhaps one of the hardest parts about moving is saying goodbye. Even if you're just moving down the road, emotions can run high. Your parents are sending you out on your own and you'll be living on your own for the first time.

Moreover, parents, especially the aged ones, can often feel frightened and miserable to face the loneliness and silence after years of children running around. Many dread the moment children are to leave and put it off till the latest possible.

7. Providing and caring for your offspring is nothing bad.

There are still other parents who either were forced to be on their own before they were ready to so. Because they were on their own earlier than they expected, they endured extremely onerous situations which made them grow up fast, sometimes too fast. These parents do not want their children to go through what they went through. They are happy to support their children until the latter are able to stand on their two feet. They are not going to go into histrionics and force their children to do this before they are ready. Young adults, in their turn, say staying with their parents is a heaven-sent solution, and it is a godsend to have someone that will always be there for you by their side.

Conclusion.

Staying at home when already grown definitely includes some advantages, like parents’ financial support and the possibility to save up money for education or a flat of one’s own. While some adult children help with the household chores or pay a share of the rent or for their family upkeep, the vast majority do not. According to some statistics, about 85% of the children do not help with shared living expenses, but instead receive free housekeeping, laundry services, and meals from their parents. On top of that, about 50% of the children receive additional financial assistance from their parents.

This situation allows the children to live in considerable comfort, and while many save money, others spend all their income on luxury items, traveling, and other non-essential expenses. Many children wish to live with their parents until they marry.

The parents, for their part, often enjoy living with their children. Many parents want to protect their children and offer them the best possible start in life. Parents also enjoy the company and the social interaction and try to maintain the relationship. The additional expenses for the parents due to the additional household member are usually small, as the fixed costs such as rent must be paid regardless, and the additional cost for food and other consumables is sometimes negligible. Many parents also see this as an investment in their future, as the children will be more obliged to take care of their parents in their old age.

On the other hand, most psychologists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake. Offspring, struggling to establish separate identities, can wind up with “a sense of inadequacy, defeat and failure. Besides, both parents and children anticipate the day where the former get the chance to revel in their freedom and the latter are totally independent and living their individual lives. It is accepted and expected that young adults eventually obtain a job and leave the parental home. In fact, this is the definition of true adulthood and maturity. However, there are young adults who are totally dependent upon their parents emotionally and financially for one reason or another. These reasons range from having a fear of failure to having a sense of entitlement. These young adults who are totally dependent upon their parents are paying an extremely high cost for their extended dependence and delayed adulthood. Thus, living away from your parents makes young adults more independent and responsible indeed.
