People who bought up in western culture unlike eastern culture thinks its embarrassing to live with parents after age 30(adulthood), graduation or after getting married, recently while browsing yahoo answers i came across below question which made me think how different is our culture from west, here in india people most of the time lives with their parents till the end and the statement in the below pic really does not sums for us
keeping apart the cultural differences i started questioning myself is it right to stay after the age 18 or is it right to stay with parents and support them till end? but both has its pros and cons, though living independently gives more freedom, and power to learn how to live on their own foot but it comes many cons..
Long ago came across a article in one of the international magazine about a survey stating "When did you last called or talked with your mother" which was done by a private company dont remember the name though, but the result was shocking 14% said that they called their parents everday, 22% said they call once in a week, 11% said once a month, shockingly 53% of them said they don't remember when they last called or had talked with their parents this shows there is a certain amount of social stigma associated to live with their parents after certian age in western culture.
Yes western culture is very right by leaving their children to stand on their own after 18 so that they can learn how hard is to earn each dollar and come to know the value of hard earned money and at the same time i respect eastern culture where younger generation stay with their elders and take care of then till the end.
So i think it should be a mix of western and eastern culture, parents should let them go and earn on their own after the age 22 and children should return back to their home after several years when they learn how to live on their own and face outside world and take care of their old parents.
I came across a beautiful video on how one generation learns seeing older generation its a must see clip
believe me this video really made my eyes wet, it shows how our parents show us unconditional love when we are young but present generation are neglecting their parents, this shows why their are increasing old age homes in India, what ever it is bottom line parents are precious look after them well
