Hurray for the end of the nuclear family. Far more efficient for people to live at home longer, and there are plenty of social benefits (albeit no the party kind) that go along with it as well.
Honestly, I'm not entirely opposed to the nuclear family, but it does always seem a little odd to me that people feel being away from their family is such an important thing. I think a lot of the stress placed upon independence in North America is just silly. "18 years old and out the door to do it by yourself!!" Why is that so good? Certainly people ought to contribute, but someone living with their family until such a time as they start their own is just fine by me. Works pretty well in lots of other places.
