As part of our cultures, oftentimes the children like to stay at home even though they already have their respective family. While in foreign land, they were already used in separting from their parents when the right age come. I have nothing against our culture of close famil ties nor i am condening its pros and cons. But while i love to cook on my own, shop my own and provide my own, i would simply have to say that those individuals who really can make it in their own has a goal in life. Im not saying that those who lives with their parents has none, its just that, knowing your responsibilities as a mature man and woman simply put the right mark on your personality.I have experienced how it is to be living independently, when u really have to list the things you missed shopping, buying things you need from detergent to bedsheet and even to home accessories. Though i can say that it still best to be at home and nothing can ever compare to the felling of being at your own place, but still nothing can superscedes the feelling of having your own pad with all the privacy in it. Sleeping when u wanted to,when you feel not to wash the things you used in eating, you just put it at the corner and simply the thought that you are living and earning for yourself, simply gives the best difference.

sa amerika dahil sa recession, they opted to live with their parents na. before when someone reaches 18, they are ecstatic to go on their own, but ngayon hindi na. which of course, american parents find ok.

interesting observation. i share you view and not. i grew up in a hostel on my own when i was in school. so back then though food was taken care of. the rest of the things was basically my own work.and now i stay near office on my own. i learnt to cook and do things at a very early age. and i guess like you said , these are nice things. gives you a sense of independence. but then i believe these are things you'd have to choose to learn. cause even then when you are on your own. i know a whole lot of people who would not bother doing some serious cooking or avoiding it at all costs. so these are chosen practices . and as they are all choices. they all can be acheived even when you are living with your folks. i have noticed many such people. its about letting a person messup and fail. and some families do allow it . i am not really found of the western take on this. cause i think there are pros and cons to it. and a good number of those times kids slip into things that they shouldn't . just my opinion. but yes. its empowering if they can keep things working on their own steam.
