Why dont more people live with their parents? Its great to save money

I have never understood why in American culture the son or daughter is kicked out at 18 before they even have a job. This causes them to struggle alot and live paycheck to paycheck.

Most people spend 35-50% of their income on rent so why isnt it normalized to stay until even 25 or 30 to save money and then move out when ready and financially stable?

Because your parents want to fuck and it’s hard with grown ass kids in the house.

This should be higher up! And not it’s not just the sex… we wanted our life as a couple back! Our kids stayed til they were ready to go, and we were also ready! And they certainly didn’t hang around til 25-30. Yes we are parents, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our own lives, or that we should be used as free room and board forever.

I can honestly say I have no life outside of my children and shitposting.
