I understand that she is an adult and the social expectation in the U.S. is that adults should live on their own, but in many cultures, like in Italy, it is common for adult children to live at home in their 30s for economic and personal reasons. This is not necessarily a bad thing unless she's making the living situation difficult for them.

Yes. He said he and his wife have some tension around their daughter. They aren't able to like step into the next phase of their marriage and their lives. So yes, this is a problem. But the idea that a child at a certain age has to move out. Look, I happen to feel that's probably true universally.

It isn't possible in all countries and cultures for practical reasons like money or the availability of housing, but that's a separate issue. We're talking about what's emotionally healthy and developmentally appropriate, what well-adjusted human beings need. And this 27-year-old refusing to leave home doesn't sound like any of these things.

But if we talk to somebody from, I don't know, India or Egypt or Japan, Korea, honestly, even some European countries that are similar in many ways to the United States, They might have a different lens on this. My understanding is that a lot of children in those cultures live with their parents until marriage or often well into their 20s, even their 30s or longer if they don't get married.

And that's just normal.

Yes, totally. Is this awkward? Is this getting in the way of my growth? Is this impeding the family in general? Is living at home, even if it's like what everyone's cool with, is that also allowing me to not face certain things in my life?

So honestly, I don't know the answer, but I just wanted to touch on this because we are all influenced by our cultures in ways that are, I think, often hard to see. And maybe our take on that letter was heavily informed by an American value or Western value that adults should not live with their parents past a certain age if they can make it on their own.

And to be clear, I still don't think that's wrong. I'm not totally convinced that that's completely relative. I suspect that if you asked a lot of adults in Korea or Egypt, if they would prefer to live on their own, if they could afford it, or if they had permission, I think a lot of them would probably say, yes, I would love to do that.
