Really? Try telling that to a family of Indian or Middle Eastern descent. I basically had a cabbie lambast me one night because he thought I was dishonoring my parents by moving away from home.

That's an interesting angle to look at it from. I hadn't even thought about that. I know that it's pretty normal in a lot of cultures to live in multi-generational (3 or 4!) homes.
So, I'm being ethnocentric, but I suspect the majority of people in Canada, people with whom I share similar culture and cultural roots, believe (or believed) that people should move out of their parents' house as soon as they're capable. I'm speaking from that perspective. I mean, the article we're talking about was news presumably because it would strike most people as unusual.
I'm really glad that someone started this thread, because I had no idea how many people hold a different view than I do.
