Hi!
What's in your opinion the best age to become independent or live on your own?
While parents may suffer from the nest syndrome and may not want you to leave, there's one moment in a person's life when you may feel ready enough to be responsible for your own life and duties. Is there a maximum age to live with your parents/family?

According to our culture and religion, we want to support our parents whole life. It is our duty.

I see, Tofayel. And I agree with you, no matter which our religion or culture is, we always owe our parents loyalty and support, the same or even twice the support they gave to us as we grew up.

Yet, there's a moment in which you decide to have a family, or a moment in which we have to leave our city or country in order to study or work. Sometimes people don't do it because they're too dependent on their parents or family; some others make decisions to start such a transition even though they do love their families. Still, even far away, they support their parents with affection, love and by providing everything they need.

In other cultures (I guess like yours) children remain with their parents for the rest of their lives.

Hello
I believe that the best best age to leave home is when you are ready to get married or become independant.

Do not leave home ever. always stay with your parents and brothers. There is no alternative of these relations.
