We have kids still living with us and it is no problem. In Japan, for instance, kids stay at home, many times, until marriage.
And then the oldest son stays with the parents with his wife and kids and inherits the house. If there is no son, the oldest daughter has the duty of finding a husband to adopt into the family to come live with the parents.
Life goes on.

I wish we still had this. Clearly it's something lost, but I also would hate living with my parents.

How do people live with their parents?

It’s tough, no doubt about it.

But family is family, and in so many cultures, living together for long periods is just the norm. My partner’s family, for example, often has 8-10 people under one roof at any given time. It can get wild, but it works for them.

I think here in the U.S., there’s this particular mindset—almost like a dogma—that living with family as an adult is somehow a bad thing. It’s interesting to reflect on that because it’s not universal, and I can definitely resonate with what you’re saying.
