It may be the loss of a job, wreaked finances, or even your astronmical student loans, that may propell you to move back to your parents house. Understandably, some parents (African parents) wont kick out their children, and for kids under the hill (those below 25), that may be a perfect choice. Usually one graduates from college in their early 20's, and during the rosy economy, a job right from college was guaranteed. But as the economy has tanked with people finishing colleges later in life, faced with high interest school loans, would it be a blow to your dignity/esteem if move back home, though you may be living rent free?. But for those in the late 20's/early 30's category, would you feel ashamed asking mom and dad if you could move in?

Worse, if you are married and your parents, in their 'golden years' (abi platinum years for hip hop) decided to downgrade their house to a 2 bedroom 2 bath house. So, you and your spouse, and kids trek back home and a room is assigned to you. Would you still take it, or would you feel like an underachiever for doing so? And, worse, if the bedroom is not spacious to accomodate your teeming family, guess what? You may decide to leave junior in the spare room while you and your better half may take up space in the living room.

Do you mean "as an adult" or "as a husband/wife with children?" because the difference is huge!

Both fall under the same criteria. You get married when you are an adult, in most cases.
