the âyou live with your parentsâ insult is really flaccid because a metric shitton of cultures donât see âleave the house foreverâ as some grandiose moment of liberation thatâs so important to the development of a person that it has to happen as fast as possible. until i came to the USA i didnât know a single person who was pressured by their parents to leave the house because theyâre âtoo old to stay thereâ or whatever. in puerto rico it is really common to stay with your parents until they and you are both stable enough that you can leave. whaddaya know, there are cultures that donât place a stigma on being poor or wanting to care for your family or needing your family to care for you for some other reason
