I, for one, am glad that I can slow down my transition to adulthood and cling to the dependency of my teens as long of possible. Why should I learn how to be self-sufficient when my mom makes awesome tacos every Thursday?

Not being interrupted/annoyed by your parents...
Not having to tell a girl to be quiet because your mom is in the next room..
Priceless.

And i agree that living away from home doesn't make you an adult. Freshman year a kid on my floor made his parents drive two hours to do his laundry each weekend.
For real do your parents ever interrupt you? No they don't. Also, making normal sex sounds isn't a problem. Otherwise you would have heard your dad hitting the walls your entire childhood.That is a made up worry.

Yeah man, tell him more about his own experiences.

I don't understand why you guys think it is so awful if other people choose to live with their parents. If you don't want to do it, then don't. If you think people who live with their parents are adolescents, don't be friends with them.

You're the one saying "your parents never interrupt you and sex noises are never audible in your apparently soundproofed hom" and yet I'm the douche.

But seriously, as soon as I graduate I will be moving back home and jumping in that warm womb that is living at home with my parents. Gotta pay those loans off.

We're making a social observation, not asking how we should conduct our lives.

I'm saying that those concerns are more made up high school paranoia than actual problems, but yes.

I mean, I never said "doing this is an objectively wrong decision in all situations," so if that's what people have their panties in a twist about then what can you do. I just think it's crazy talk, because to me 1. adulthood and moving out are pretty strongly correlated, 2. I can't imagine attending law school while living with my parents (although I do love them), and 3. A lot of the calculations people do involve being a big moocher (e.g. not paying them food or rent).

Your ability to read between the lines is excellent. You'll go far.

You could say I'm a douche, or you could point out that my fairly innocuous (for TLS) thread unleashed a hurricane of defensiveness and butthurt.

If my thread chapped your asshole this badly I recommend lip balm.

Says who? So adulthood comes at the cost of $30,000 extra debt? What happens when you're forced to move back home anyways to pay that off? Are you still an adult?

That's fair enough. I understand why you feel that way. I personally don't feel as though it's stopped me from being an adult. I guess if someone is K-JD and went to college near home, it could happen. I went to boarding school and didn't live at home in high school, went to college across the country, and didn't even live in this country for most of the two years between college and law school. This is largely what has made living at home so enjoyable for me - I have a lot of distance between my life here now and what it was like when I lived here before.

What he means here is mommy and daddy are paying for his apartment so he can play grown up and there will be no extra debt.

I lived at home throughout law-school. I just finished with less than 50k in total student loans, including undergrad. I wasn't particularly proud that I lived at home, but I don't care anymore because I saved a lot of money. In my opinion, living with your parents while attending law-school is way better than taking out an additional $10,000 of loans in order to act like you are financially independent.
