What age is it embarrassing to live with your parents?

Is there such a thing as too old to live with your parents? According to recent poll results, we now have an unofficial answer to that question. A new study published by TD Ameritrade found that the average age at which it begins to become "embarrassing" for someone to live with with their parents is 28.

A survey conducted by TD Ameritrade found that the majority of participants think that by age 28, it becomes too "embarrassing" to live at home with your parents. The same poll found that many millennials tend to move back home because of the burden brought on by student loan debt. Is there such a thing as too old to live with your parents? According to recent poll results, we now have an unofficial answer to that question. A new study published by TD Ameritrade found that the average age at which it begins to become "embarrassing" for someone to live with with their parents is 28. This conclusion was made after survey responses were analyzed from 3,054 survey participants, all 15 and older. And three generations—generation z, millennials, and their parents—actually all came to the same conclusion about the magic number. The same report also found that once millennial children leave the nest, one in three of them will move back for two or more years. And a majority of respondents said they'd expect to pay no rent once they returned home. But a key finding of this research unveiled that for many, there's a reasonable explanation for heading back (and sometimes staying!) at their parents home: "they simply can not afford it with their student debt."

More From Oprah Daily

This sentiment is backed up by January 2019 findings from the Federal Reserve that reported outstanding student loan debt for millennial Americans is directly related to the country's decreasing home ownership rates. Curious to see if our readers felt the same way, our team here at OprahMag.com took to Facebook to pose our own poll: Do you think 28 is too old for a child to still live with their parents? As of publish time, we had over 2,200 votes with 64% saying "yes" and 36% replying "no." "My daughter has a beautiful home and her own family but she could have stayed with me forever if she had wanted to," wrote user Theresa Conley. Meanwhile, Tammy Doherty had a different perspective: "If they are finishing up schooling, no. BUT if not....PACK UP KIDDIES, OUT!!" This content is imported from poll.

At what age do boys become defiant?

As children grow closer to their second birthdays, they take big steps in learning about the desires and feelings of other people. They also become more assertive about their own wishes.

As children grow closer to their second birthdays, they take big steps in learning about the desires and feelings of other people. They also become more assertive about their own wishes. Toddlers begin to understand that other people have desires and wishes different from their own, and this can lead to conflict. Since toddlers need to learn how conflict works between people, they begin a series of early experiments by testing boundaries and discovering their physical and developmental limits. Toddlers may test a limit set by an adult (by saying “no” or doing the opposite of what is asked) to see what reaction they will receive, even if they know the reaction will be negative. Although these defiant behaviors are healthy and developmentally appropriate ways for toddlers to deal with conflict, they challenge adults to develop responses that maintain necessary limits while firmly encouraging cooperation.
