Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread

That's not a "white people" thing though -- talk to people from Eastern Europe for example.

Even in the US, record numbers of kids are living at home with their parents. That's hardly abandoning them.

That. Doesn't mean they actually care or want them there.

Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread

Well of course they don't want them there -- they want them to have a stable career and independence. I'm sure the kids feel the same way and want those things too. That hardly takes away from the fact that the parents ARE helping them out, not hanging them out to dry.

NAYRT

See, this whole concept of parents begrudging their kids for living with them into adulthood is really weird to me, because I come from a culture where you're EXPECTED to live with your parents until you get married (and if you don't get married, you're basically expected to live with them forever).

Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread

But wanting your children to be independent as adults doesn't mean that you're "begrudging" their living with you: it's that self-reliance is regarded as an intrinsic good.

And TBQH, a culture where you're expected to live with your parents until you get married (or forever) is not exactly an unmixed blessing. That was the Greek immigrant culture my mom was from, and it involved parents begrudging their children--particularly their daughters--any move toward independent adulthood. I mean, I have aunts who can't drive and who have never lived on their own, worked for anyone but family members, or made a decision by themselves.

But living with your parents doesn't mean you aren't independent. I and a couple of my friends live with our parents because they are older and need help with household things sometimes. We all have jobs and are financially independent, we just decided that it was better for everyone involved that we live there to help out instead of hiring someone else to do it.

Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread

That's a good point, but the subject of the thread was not financially independent adult children who live with their parents in order to provide the parents with help and support. It was parents who want their children to move out when the kids turn 18--whether because they no longer care about or want to support their children, as the OP believes, or because they see self-reliance as a positive value and want their children to develop it. In the scenario OP was ranting about, the kids who were being "kicked to the curb" were very obviously not independent.
