    dont force your kids out when their not ready, provideing they obey your rules and are doing something with their lives (job/school)

    their is no right age - some kids will move out when their 18, some not till their 20's

    if their still living with you in their 30's then they should be forced out

    I really think that depends on the child. Some are more mature than others and are prepared to be on their own by 18. Others maybe not till 21.

    I think that unless they are in college and needing to live at home that beyond say 25 you are getting too old to be at home with momy and daddy.

    Any younger than 18 though I dont think they have the knowledge or experience to be on their own.

    Our policy is that when a child turns 18 and finishes high school they have several options. Get a job and pay rent, enroll and attend college or move out.

    Every child develops different. If they are not responsible at home then no. But if they think their grown, want to do whatever they want and age permits, then let then be grown. The parent has the control of that and they should use their instincts.

    i'd say 18-19 but around here it's so expensive i'm letting the eldest stay until the youngest can move with him and be roomies.
