Nowadays, there is a contentious issue regarding whether adult people continue to live with their mothers and fathers even when they are financially independent. In my ,opinion the drawbacks outweigh the merits.
This
 essay discusses both sides of
this
 argument and
then
 I will give my own perspective.
To begin
, when you can live on your own and become completely independent, sharing a house with your
parents
 has significant drawbacks.
Firstly
, when
adults
 live in their parent's house, even when they are successful in their careers, they are still considered a child, so they never get to find a partner, get married, and start a family on their own.
In addition
,
this
 issue leads to a significant decrease in the population of the society.
Furthermore
, these types of
adults
 will never learn to live independently and will never gain the ability to survive without the help of their
parents
.
As a result
, when their
parents
 die, they become helpless and unable to continue their normal lives. To illustrate
this
, my oldest aunt used to live with her
parents
; everything was in order for her until my grandparents died in an accident and she became devastated.
However
, there are potential benefits to
adults
 who keep living with their guardians for the rest of their lives. On the whole, the main benefit is a dramatic reduction in their living expenses.
This
 is because they are not required to pay for rent and food.
In addition
, they can receive unconditional love from their
parents
 more than other
adults
 who do not have a strong relationship with their mothers and fathers.
Therefore
, these
adults
 have the advantage of receiving unlimited emotional support. In conclusion, the disadvantages of living with
parents
 in adulthood seem to outweigh the advantages because it can reduce the number of new families and create emotionally dependent people.
However
,
this
 lifestyle can benefit a person by saving more money and maintaining a close relationship with their
parents
. Given
this
 , a situation it seems when people become financially independent, they should leave their
parents
' house and start a family on their own.
