Well, before I moved to Sweden I still lived at home with my mum. I didn't have to pay any rent or food money, because I studied at a university. Though I did also have a part-time job, so that I had my own pocket money and clothes money, and maybe some money to go on a vacation. But my mum did help me with buying school books, because those cost a fortune. And sometimes also with clothes, or any other time I didn't have money but needed it. I really hated asking my mum for money, but sometimes I had no choice.
But I didn't go out partying with it, if that's what you think. [img]tongue.gif[/img] As I said, it was spent on books. [img]smile.gif[/img]
So I think that parents should take care for the child until they finished highschool, and then after that if they want to. When I have children, I know I'll want to help them, so I'd probably let them stay as long as they wanted. But only if they studied or had a job. Though in the latter case I'd want them to contribute to the rent and food money.
