See, that's where the cultural disconnect comes in. My sister moved out at twenty and everyone thought she was absolutely bonkers for it. Our sense of responsibility, while technically also encompasses fiscal responsibilities (contributing the best you can and all), also includes supporting the family, so leaving so early is seen as...well, not the done thing, I suppose.

Probably a different idea of responsibility, then.

In the US (and much of the Western world, I think), a child living at home is seen as a burden on the parents, with the exception being if a parents/a relative is sick and you're staying at home specifically to help take care of them. Otherwise, you support your parents by leaving, thus freeing them of the burden of taking care of you.

Of course, in many other cultures it's the other way around - a child at home is an asset, and thus you want them to stay at home, and in turn that means a child leaving early is a loss and seen as selfish on the child's part.

Yes, this is what I was trying to say. You worded it much better than me!

In case of my country, it's slightly different, since it's not about responsibility.

It's not that a child is an asset, it's that a child who leaves their home without being able to support themselves it's an idiot who'll probably trouble (either by making them worry or asking them for money) their parents later when that child notice that, hey, living on their own it's not something that easy, specially as a student, since that pretty much mean they won't get a job that will pay them enough to even pay a cheap rent.

"So early," LOL. I left home at 17 and never looked back.
