When you reach a certain age, you just do whatever you want. Especially if you’re working and contributing to the family expenses.
If your parents don’t understand that, well, I guess you’ll end up being in the percentage that leaves home.
Another factor to consider: living with parents often translates to living with ONE parent.
Look at your average ghetto, where people can’t afford their own place, and you’ll see much much more young people being outside. They practically only come home to sleep and eat. That’s their escape.
That’s one of the reasons, I think, why some people feel like there are much more migrants than there actually are. It’s perfectly normal for, say, arabs to spend their free time hanging out in public spaces instead of sitting at someone’s home.
I’m curious. I spent my twenties spreading my wings, partying, and engaging in the carnal activities that follow.
My parents would absolutely not have tolerated such things.
It would’ve felt like a continuation of sneaking around behind their backs as a teenager.
How does that dynamic work in countries that commonly have adult children living at home?
(My parents were particularly strict and pretty much nothing was acceptable, so that’s probably quite a bit different than most people)

Bit difficult to engage in “carnal activities” in public, though (or rather, it’s not that hard but it kinda sucks).
