    In many (most?) non-Western cultures people live with their parents until they get married and move out. Just saying, it’s not a thing to “judge” a person for regardless.

      Considering OP has a Taiwanese flag in his username as well as a Japansese anime character name (with the kanji as well as the romaji, and a Chinese name (the hanzi as well as the pinyin), I’m guessing OP is at least moderately aware of non-Western cultures practices on the topic and I don’t immediately suspect OP is judging people for their answers either way.

        Didn’t say OP was, just that it doesn’t even fit the framework for “judgement”, it’s not a moral failing or developmental hangup, that’s all. 🤷👍

          In western cultures people certainly judge for this, especially in the US. absolutely not saying they should! Just saying this does fit the framework for judgements here. I think it’s only older generations and upper middle class people who judge anymore though. The rich have always relied on family (though they usually have plenty of space and multiple homes) and the poor often cohabitate, with younger generations helping out with rent and housework, the middle Gen making the bulk of the income and the older Gen being taken care of and maybe helping with childcare.
